For a few months now, we have been discussing the benefits of Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Food on this blog. We have been promoting the benefits of weight loss for dogs that are overweight and we hope that you have found the information helpful. However, nothing speaks to us quite like true stories. Everyone likes to hear about how a product worked for someone else, right? So, we are going to share a true story of one dog’s weight loss with you today.

Meet Hilo: Our Weight Loss For Dogs Subject

He sure is cute mister, isn’t he? Hilo belongs to Jennifer of SweepTight.com. Hilo is currently on a weight loss for dogs program because he should weigh 90some pounds but instead weighs a little bit more. Could you imagine Puppy Mister, all 4 pounds of him, standing next to Hilo? Puppy Mister is really friendly, though, and Hilo sounds like a big ol’ fluff, so I imagine they would get along splendidly.

Meet Hilo: Hilo is an almost 7 year old {Happy Early Birthday!} German Shepherd. His past times include running around the yard and taking long walks with his family. Hilo also knows that he is just as gorgeous as they get, but since his hips bother him, he wants to shed a few extra pounds so that he can run and play for many years to come. So Hilo has been nom noming on some Hill’s Prescription Diet Canine Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution dog food so that he can be a slim trim Hilo. 🙂

Weight loss for pets is achievable with Hill’s Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution.

While eating Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution, an obese pet’s metabolism changes to act more like that of a lean pet.

Hilo has been doing well on his program so far. He has not been officially weighed yet, but Jennifer says that he is becoming more active and wanting to play more. That is an awesome start! Let’s all wish Hilo and his family the best in reaching their health goals with a little help from Hill’s Science Diet dog food.

  • Awe! Thanks so much for sharing our Hilo man's story!!! He is doing so well on the diet and we are so thankful! We can't get over how much he LOVES the food! I wish human diets could be so tasty. ;) Thanks again!! Oh, and yes, Hilo would be a big ol' fluff ball next to your little mister. That would be adorable!

    • Hilo is so gorgeous! I just want to hug him! I also love Grump {aka The Photo Bomber}...what gorgeous doggies! I wish Hilo the best and look forward to updates. :)

  • Awwww, I love that the plan is working for Hilo!! He is such a cute dog :L)

  • Thanks for the info. My son earned a dog which we are getting when school starts. I will have to keep this info logged away for future use!

  • I don't have pets, but oh my gosh, my sister has two of them and one is really overweight. I need to tell her about this because yikes!

  • I too love dogs and after reading this, i want another just like Hilo.. and i cant say how cute he is :)

  • This is an important subject. Thank you for tackling it. I had an overweight cat, but he was still pretty active. It's easy to go down the path of letting your beloved animal eat incorrectly. Thanks you for the post.

  • Hilo is a cutie.I think my dogs are lucky they are not needing a diet.Bolt looks big but its all muscle he is like a table across his back lol.I am always worried about both of our dogs joints so they get supplements to help them.

  • My dog is on weighloss food, she eats 1 cup a day.. (Pug) But it looks like she eats tons of food.. i guess its her body makeup.

  • That is awesome that they have something like that for the dogs. My Husky mix Bella has had the opposite problem. We got her from the shelter and she was so skinny when we got her you could see her ribs. We've had her a few months and she's finally filling out. She looks so healthy now!
