Dog Weight Loss Help with Hill’s

Dog weight loss is a tricky subject. We often show our love for our pets with food, so depriving them seems cruel. You can’t explain to them why you are putting them on a “diet”, so looking into those puppy dog eyes can be horrible. This post is sponsored by Hill’s. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Food, but Sweep Tight only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. is not responsible for the content of this article.

Dog Weight Loss is a Growing Epidemic

In the US, 55% of dogs and 53% of cats are now overweight. It can be hard as pet owners to even realize that your pet is overweight. Our vet just told us that Hilo needs to lose some weight, and he didn’t look big to us at all! But, since he’s a larger breed and prone to hip problems, he should always stay on the slim size. Seeing ribs would actually be ideal.

As soon as we were made aware of Hilo’s weight issue, we were happy to get on board with the Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Food plan. This plan doesn’t deprive him of any food. In fact, he might even be eating more with this program. The key is what we are feeding him, not how much. Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Food solution is clinically proven nutrition that naturally activates metabolism to burn fat and regulate appetite. The plan is safe and effective and said to show results within 60 days.

The program consists of a complete food package. Dry food, wet food, and treats are all a part of the easy-to-follow diet plan. There’s no deprivation or guilt involved. In fact, I have never seen Hilo more excited to eat his food. In the past we used to watch him eat to make sure The Grump didn’t swoop in and steal it from him. Now, he eats the food immediately with a wagging tail. Clearly, it tastes delicious!

Before getting Hilo started on the plan, we had to see the vet first. Dr. Dahl was all for him doing the program and even recommended Hill’s before I told her anything about it. She just knew he would love it and is confident that losing a few pounds will help out greatly with his hips.

He weighed in at 102.2 and his goal weight should be in the lower 90’s. Follow us Hilo’s dog weight loss journey to see how he does!

This is about our dog Lillie Lu. She is a little over 7 years old now and I have noticed that she is starting to gain weight. She is a YorkiePoo. I don't want her getting fat. It's so had on them to carry extra weight.
