Weight gain can cause our kitty’s lives to be cut short. Overweight cats can deal with heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other illnesses caused by extra pounds just like humans. So even though we may really like our chunky kitties, we should take pause and think – are we helping them have a healthy long life?
Are we cutting our lives with them short?

Are we being responsible pet parents by not helping them lose weight?

Are they able to romp and play like kitties their age should?

The issue is, it’s not so easy to get kitty to shed the pounds. They like to eat, just like we humans. They indulge, and like us, they keep adding on the pounds. It’s pretty amazing how much felines are like humans. They share our weight problems. Cat weight loss is not so easy. Overweight cats are every bit as common as overweight humans.Felines also share the fact that weight and metabolism are closely linked. As cats age, they tend to slow down, and their metabolism slows. With the weight gain, they move slower, and their metabolism gets a bit slower, just like with us humans.#HillsPet has come up with a new cat and dog food that combats weight gain by fighting the pets’ metabolism. Some key points about Hill’s Metabolic Cat Food include:

  • While eating Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution, an overweight animal’s metabolism changes to act more like that of a lean animal.
  •  Even after weight loss is achieved, the highly efficient energy metabolism profile is maintained.
  •  Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution provides clinically proven nutrition that naturally activates metabolism to burn calories and regulate appetite.
  • Your pet’s quality of life and relationship with your family is impacted because that extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your dog
  •  As the pet parent said, “I gained a friend.” When our pets feel good, it’s like getting back our old friend.
  •  Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution is not a fad because you must be working with your veterinarian to make sure your cat or dog is a candidate for this special diet.

While we understand there are health concerns when our pet carries extra weight, often times it  affects our relationship with our pet. In the video Bear’s Story we see a touching, real life story of dog named Bear and how his excess weight affected his life and his relationship with his family. His pet parents didn’t know what to do. With the help of their veterinarian, they took the brave first step by starting a weight loss program, and feeding Bear Hill’s® Prescription Diet® Canine Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution. The transformation began. Bear started to gain back his energy and his life.

If Bear’s story isn’t enough, let’s look at some of the results for cats. With #Hills Pet Metabolic cat food. Russell, 5 year old, neutered male, Domestic Short Hair Presented at 11.3 kg (24.9 lbs.)
