Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. is not responsible for the content of this article.

You may have been seeing the informative Hill’s® Science Diet® Perfect Weight posts I have been posting over the past few months. Well, Gracie {Kimberly’s cat from Saving More Than Me} has been actually taking the weight loss challenge. She took the 10 Week Turnaround and I want to share with you her results so that you can see how this plan works out in a real life scenario.

Gracie’s Perfect Weight Journey

Are you wondering if your pet is overweight. One thing that can help you decide is the Pet Weight Scoring Tool from Hill’s. Kimberly used this as one way of determining whether her cat was overweight or not. This is a handy questionnaire that you can take in just minutes that helps you ask the right questions and gives you insight into weight and how it affects your pets lifestyle.

Over a few weeks, Gracie transitioned to Science Diet Perfect Weight and Kimberly reports that it was easy. She said that Gracie liked the taste {which is not always the case when we try to lose weight, am I right?} so that was definitely a relief. We want our pets to have tasty food and be healthy. Now, these do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Gracie’s Results

Gracie experienced a few minor setbacks, she was able to get back on track pretty easily with the help of Hill’s. Gracie started at 17 pounds and is now down 1.5 pounds! That is almost a 10% change in weight. Congrats to Gracie and her owners for helping her live a longer, healthier life.

Starting a weight loss routine is sometimes the hardest part. But you want to keep your pet healthy and happy for as long as possible. So you need to practice consistency with balanced nutrition. Schedules help with being sure that exercise and proper nutrition are maintained. You can download a handy schedule to help you with this from Hill’s.

Please keep in mind that it is important to carefully measure your pet’s food so that he or she is not getting too little or too much. Pet food comes with feeding guidelines to help you with knowing what the proper amount is.

  • It sounds like a great brand. My dog is right where he is supposed to be, but I would like to keep him that way.

  • What a little cutie! One of our cats is on the chunky side too. We are working on it.

  • Miss Gracie is a perfect example of why so many people have overweight animals. She looks too cute for her little chunky self. Best of luck on her weight loss!

  • I'll have to tell my parents about this. Their kitty is overweight. I've had overweight cats in the past, but mine are okay right now. Gracie did great on that food!

  • Way to go, Gracie! I'm such a sucker for a good weight loss story, even when it involves our pets. Our dog is at his perfect weight, but I make sure I don't feed him things that aren't good for him. It's tough sometimes. I'm glad that Science Diet has developed a product to help overweight pets.

  • Wow, this food seems pretty impressive! Everyone I know has fat cats that could benefit from this cat food!

  • 1.5 pounds! That is awesome! Thankfully my girl is at a good weight. My best friend has some hefty boys. I will have to show her this post and see if she will give it a try. I would love to see her beautiful boys healthier

  • Thank you for your wonderful review on Science Diet. I own two beautiful cats, but one of them looks like Barney. She definitely needs to get on a diet! I'll definitely look into this brand and join the Sweepstakes too!
