Hills prescription R/D diet feline is for the nutritional management of Obese or Overweight cats. It is important to feed a restricted amount of top quality food to cats which need to lose weight. Hills r/d will help as part of the weight control programme. It contains restricted calorie levels and additional fibre, yet is still highly palatable.
Being overweight can cause your cat discomfort, reduce energy levels and even shorten her life. Just as in people, weight gain is usually associated with excessive calorie and fat intake combined with a lack of exercise. Obesity can lead to such serious conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and others.

Great Slimmimg Aid!
7th May 2013- VioVet Customer Since: November 2008
- From: Essex, United Kingdom
My cats have got a little heavy and the vets recommended these biscuits. They are a lot cheaper from here so I started on a wright loos program. The boys love the taste of the biscuits and have lost a small amount of weight at a nice gentle pace. The biscuits are also helping to clean their teeth clean as they are super crunchy. Works well for me and I hope to get my boys slim for the summer!
