Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic + Mobility, Weight + j/d Joint Care Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food, Veterinary Diet, 24 lb. Bag

We finally decided to get our 8yr old lab prescription weight control food with joint and digestion benefits. This has been the first food she’s eating daily without a lot of fuss. She seems to be more active. Her stool a digestive system seems to be great too. We will see how the weight loss looks like at doc visit. But visually she seems to have lost weight. The price point is definitely not easy to swallow but for the benefits, I am okay paying a premium.

When I took my 11 year old boxer to the Vet for her annual check up, I was told I was loving her to death (I made her fat). She was a rescue from a kill shelter.. poor thing, skin and bones when we adopted her. She is extremely food driven. Despite regular walks, she put on too much weight 😔. Our Vet prescribed the Science Diet weight management food and it actually helped with bringing her down to a healthier weight. It also is a food that she loves! Well worth it

Recommended for my older large dog. I believe it improved her health.

As we transitioned from the old food to the new one my dog quickly learned the bag this food was in and keep nudging the bag with her nose for this food. She loves it. Also, my dog’s foot has been hurting her for 2 years and I give her a chew for joint support. With this food she feels so much better and has not been limping and I have stopped the joint medicine.

We get this for our big, old, fat dog. (Female Black Lab, 11 years, 95 lbs). Somebody - a veterinarian I guess - told my wife this is what our dog needed, so here we are. Dog seems to like it OK.I am mystified as to why we need a "prescription" from our veterinary clinic to complete the order. Who ever heard of a prescription being required for food? Would it be animal abuse if we fed it to another dog instead? (Note to Homeland Security: Not that we would! This is a hypothetical question only).

This dog food was recommended by my vet for my dog as he is now 12 years old and needed to lose some weight and it would be good for his bones & joints. I do not like the smell & I have not tasted it myself! LOL., but my dog seems to like the food. We thought he tore his acl in his knee and he was limping. Since we started this food he is now running like nothing happened so I believe the food is helping with his joints. He has lost a few ounces too which the vet recommended also as this food is supposed to help with weight loss. I think it is expensive, but my dog is worth it! We will continue to serve this food to our little Pete!

Pros: Does its intended purpose, weight loss, dog actually eats it. Smell is tolerable.Cons: pricey, wish it was a bigger bag for the price

My baby girl is losing weight and the doctor is very pleased
