Most People Don’t Realize Their Pets Are Overweight

Did you know that over 53% of dogs and 55% of cats in the US are obese? The scary fact is however, many pet parents don’t even realize that their pet is that overweight, and so they fail to treat the issue. And even when they know there is an issue because their vet said Fido or Fluffy needs to kick the flab. If they are aware of the issue, treating this issue can be difficult, as no pet parent wants to feel like they are depriving their pet or withholding food from them.



So what is the solution for those flabby tabbies and portly poodles? The first step is that pet owners need to realize their pets are overweight. Pleasantly plump is not a good look for cats and dogs.



This cute video called One Big Kitty shares the struggle that pet owners face when trying to help their pets shed the excess weight.

Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution food products are the solution. With this product, you change what you feed your pet, not how you feed them. No more itty bitty portions that leave your dog or cat crying for more food. This special formula helps to activate the metabolism and regulate their appetite! At the same time, pets will still feel full and satisfied after their feedings. This product is safe, effective, and in just 60 days you can see results in your pet. Available for both cats and dogs, this proven formula provides all of the nutrients your pet needs to lose the flab and become the happy baby you love.







The Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight food products line is made up of dry food options, wet food options, and even a treat line which means your pet gets to have meals you don’t feel guilty about forcing them to accept and they get to have treats too! Pets will still get the food they love and the treats they have come to count on, while with each feeding you are working your way towards a leaner, healthier pet. With this feeding system, you will never feel like you are depriving your pet.



And if that isn’t enough to sway you that this might be something your pet could benefit from…



In an at home study (one where the only thing pet owners did was change their pets food not their own feeding habbits) that included over 300 overweight pets, 88% lost weight and discovered healthier weight levels in just 60 days. This was all while being fed this line of products in the comfort of their own home. Hill’s knew that they had to test the product in a real life situation once they knew that it worked under very strictly controlled conditions. As they put it during a resent conference call I was on they pay the people in their carefully controlled feeding trials to get it right – to make sure the dog or cat is not fed a single kibble over the recommended amount so they know the pet will shed the ecess weight. On the other hand they know that pet owners aren’t as careful and that real life is never as controlled. Most pet owners don’t really measure their pet’s food they just use a scoop and eyeball in. And when they do use a measuring scoop it is never a flat measurement it is always mounded up and over the top. Or little Tommy comes home from school and while he eats his snack he thinks Fido should have one for one.







The Veterinarians, Researchers, Scientists, and everyone working at Hill’s knows all of these things because they are pet parents and these very same things happen in their own homes. Which is why they were so excited when the real life home study came back with such incredible results. The product works and it works in real life.

As you can see, any pet parent can implement this feeding system and see results. 8 out of 10 pet parents say they would recommend the Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight products to others, as these products have been shown to be effective in real life situations. You might not be ready to fully jump on board just yet and that is fine too it is also why Hill’s will be working with 10 Pet Bloggers over the coming months so that they can share their journey and we can share that journey with all of you. Hill’s knows YOU want to see the product in action. Those Bloggers are on their way to the vet this month in order to get their Veterinarians to sign off on the Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Advanced Weight Formula.

Pets are overweight and that trend is growing, but it does not have to be. With simply changing what you feed your pet, not how you feed them, you can help to better regulate their weight and overall health.
