Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic is a dry dog food clinically proven to help overweight dogs lose weight at home — without owners measuring portions perfectly or feeling like they're starving their dog. Most dogs lose meaningful weight within two months of feeding.

The formula uses Hill's proprietary blend of nutrients (including L-carnitine and lysine) to switch the dog's metabolism toward burning fat rather than storing it. Higher fibre helps dogs feel full on smaller portions, controlled calories drive the deficit and complete vitamin and mineral profiles ensure no nutritional gaps during weight loss. Suitable as a long-term maintenance diet to prevent weight regain.

Owners and vets choose Metabolic because it works on the dogs that other approaches haven't — the chronic snackers, the breed-prone-to-fat (Labradors, Beagles), the ones that gain weight on a quarter cup a day. Real-world results have made it Hill's most-prescribed weight diet.
