Did you know that over half of the pet population is overweight? What’s even worse is that the rate of overweight animals has risen by almost 40% in just the last 5 years for dogs and 90% for cats! But how can an owner help their overweight cats and overweight dogs lose weight?
Many pet owners have no idea that their pets are even overweight. I admit, I love giving my animals treats. We have dogs and cats, but the dogs are my babies and I love showing them how much I adore them. But, we as pet owners, can sometimes show out pets a little too much love.
Help For Overweight Dogs and Cats
I know that we want the best for our animals, so when our fur babies turn into overweight dogs and cats, we need to do what we can to help them become the active and vital pets they were meant to be. Just like with humans, sometimes that requires a little help from experts to live long, happy, healthy lives.
So, How Does Hill’s Science Diet Metabolic Formula Work?
Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution is clinically proven nutrition that naturally activates metabolism to burn fat and regulate appetite. Pets feel full and satisfied and still lose weight. Transform your pet’s weight simply by changing what you feed, not how you feed. Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution is safe, effective and fast – you’ll see a leaner, more playful pet in just 60 days.

Hi my name is Kim, i am the MomKat of two gorgeous fur babies. My maine coon, Kitty Boo, is 7.5 years old and weighs 12 lbs and my tuxedo cat, Socks, is also 7 and weighs about 12 lbs. My vet has told me they need to lose weight and they are feeling heavier…i’ve noticed their appetite has increased lately, I don’t want them to get fatter, i actually want them to lose weight. I’m going to have to try this type of Science Diet. I already feed them SD’s Ideal Balance but I had not heard of this type. I really need to cut back on their treats and/or try these instead. Thank you for this great giveaway oppty!
Our cat Oskar is 10 months old and he weighs 9lbs.

My dog, Kyoko (one of five rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds) is 4-5 years old. Kyoko was nearly starved to death before I adopted her from a high-kill shelter. Even though she is no longer starving, and is healthy in every other way, she wants to eat constantly. She should weigh about 60 pounds, but was up to 79 before I started trying to get her to lsoe some weight. I got her down to 75, but we could really use help getting her down to the weight she should be at.

I dogs name is Rocky and he is about to turn 8 years old. He has been overweight for half of his like by about 8 pounds. He’s a small size dog and only supposed to weigh around 20, but he is getting close to reaching 30. This is definitely something I would use to help my dog!

My Name is Rhonda Martin and my email address is exotic1(at)tdstelme(dot)net. I have a Cairn Terrier and her name it Toto because she is looks just like the dog that stared in the Wizard of Oz. We don’t know how old she is because she came to us abandoned. We had no information not even her name. We think with help from our vet that she is about 5yrs old. She is very spoiled and has become over weight. She currently weights 18pds which isn’t to bad I didn’t think but for her size the vet says yes. He said she should weigh only between 13-15pds. Getting her to loose weight is so difficult because she doesn’t like the dog food that I have bought for weight control. I have spent a small fortune trying to find one she will eat. Maybe she will like Hill’s Science Diet.

I have two cats, ( Long fur) Fred and Ginger, both are age 9, siblings. Fred is at least 20 pounds, Ginger weighs 7 or 8 pounds. Fred is overweight, for certain.
We have three cat’s, all adopted, Ibenez is the oldest at 17. Then there is Buddy he is 5 years old, and last there is Ozzy a black cat that is 3 years old. He is the one that really likes to eat a lot. I have to have them on timed eating schedule because I just cannot leave food in their bowls all the time. Ozzy will eat everyone’s food. I think that he would benefit the most from this program. All three of them already eat the Science Diet Lite Cat Food. Have been eating that for years now.
We have a dog, Age is unknown but she is showing age and doesn’t move as much. She has gained weight over the past few years. She weighs about 30lbs.
i have a cat and she is 2.5 years old.
she weighs 13 pounds,.

We have 2 pomeranians, one is overweight by about 4lb. and the other is underweight. I need to check with the vet first to see if this would be beneficial to either of them.
Hi, my name is Jeron.
I have a cat, Cleo who has gained a lot of weight since I went off to college. I’m back now, and this would be an awesome way to start her back off on the healthy path! I’m not sure how much she weighs, maybe 5-6 lbs, but her stomach is getting rather large and she’s about 3 years old
My pet is a cat, Oppie. He’s almost 7 years old, and he weighs 14.8 pounds as of his last vet visit. This is not hugely overweight for him, and he’s half Maine Coon, but he is a little chubby and will become more so as he ages if we don’t curb it now.

We have a 5 year old Pomeranian, Lola who weighs around 13-15 lbs. I don’t think she’s a purebred. She’s rather large but is wonderful with our family and loves our little girl dearly. We couldn’t ask for a better little dog.
We have a 3 year old cat named Chloe who weighs around 10 lbs. She’s a beautiful long haired calico.

My poor doggie could benefit A LOT from this! She is currently 8 lbs overweight:/ We have tried some diet foods for her, but they haven’t worked very well! The vet told us she needs to lose weight, her knees are popping out of the joints. Ouch! This would be great to win so she can lose those extra pounds!!

Winnie is my 1.5 year old Chihuahua. She is small and probably weights 3-4 lbs. But she loves people food and not her own….I’m afraid my little girl is getting a very round tummy and it is not good for her.
I have a cat she is 9, I’m not sure what she weighs but she is podgy and overweight.
My dog Zoey is 10 years old and not so active. I think she is over weight because she looks like she is. I think its because she not only eats her food but she sneaks and eats the cats food. I think she was about 60 pounds when last weighed .
