Clinically Proven Metabolic Weight Management Canned Cat Food in Chicken Flavor

Product Description

Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Chicken Flavor Canned Cat Food is a clinically proven prescription wet food that helps overweight cats lose weight and keep it off by naturally activating their metabolism. Real chicken and pork liver in a savory ground-texture gravy make it appealing even for picky eaters. A fiber blend with powdered cellulose, tomato pomace, and flaxseed supports fullness, while L-carnitine, coconut oil, and fish oil support fat burning and energy metabolism. In clinical trials, 88% of pets lost weight at home in just 2 months. Each 5.5 oz can has 136 calories for easy portion control.

Benefits

• Clinically Proven: Clinical studies show that 88% of cats fed Metabolic nutrition lost weight at home within just 2 months, making this one of the most clinically validated feline weight management formulas on the market.
• Activates Natural Metabolism: This formula works by activating the cat's own fat-burning metabolism rather than simply restricting calories, enabling natural, sustainable weight loss that targets stored body fat.
• Prevents Weight Regain: The metabolic formula is designed to help avoid the common pattern of post-diet weight regain by naturally adjusting the cat's metabolism to maintain the lost weight long-term.
• Fiber Blend Promotes Satiety Between Meals: Powdered cellulose, dried tomato pomace, flaxseed, and carrots work together to help cats feel fuller for longer, reducing food-seeking behavior and begging between scheduled feedings.
• L-Carnitine Supports Fat Metabolism and Vitality: L-carnitine helps the body use fat for energy during weight loss, supporting lean muscle and keeping cats active throughout the process.
• Urinary Crystal Prevention (S+OXSHIELD): This formula targets both struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation, creating a urinary environment that supports weight management and urinary health together.
• Controlled 136 Calories Per Can: At 136 calories per 5.5 oz can, pet owners can easily track and manage their cat's daily intake without any complex measuring or calculations.
• Wet Format Supports Hydration During Weight Loss: The high moisture content of canned food naturally increases fluid intake, supporting kidney and urinary function — especially important in cats during active weight management.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Veterinary Prescription Required: This is a prescription therapeutic diet that requires a valid veterinary prescription before purchase; only feed under the direction of a licensed veterinarian.
• Feed Exclusively for Best Results: For maximum metabolic and weight loss benefit, feed Metabolic exclusively as the sole diet; dry and wet Metabolic formulas can be combined as directed by your veterinarian.
• Transition Gradually over 7 Days: Start by mixing small amounts of the new food into the old, gradually increasing it over 7 or more days. This helps avoid digestive upset during the switch.
• Ask Your Vet for Specific Daily Amounts: Feeding recommendations on the packaging are a starting point only; your veterinarian will determine the appropriate number of cans per day based on your cat's current weight, target weight, and body condition.
• Remove Uneaten Wet Food Promptly: Remove any uneaten food from your cat's bowl within 4 hours if room temperature is above 50°F to prevent spoilage.
• Adjust Portions to Track Weight Progress: Monitor your cat's body condition and weight regularly and adjust the daily feeding amount as needed; consult your vet before making any changes to the feeding plan.
• Keep Fresh Water Available at All Times: Always provide clean, fresh water alongside meals to support hydration, urinary health, and overall well-being during the weight loss program.

Precautions

• For Overweight Cats Only: Made for overweight or obese adult cats. Do not feed to kittens, pregnant, nursing, or ideal-weight cats without vet guidance.
• Do Not Feed Other Pets: Only feed this food to the cat it was prescribed for. Do not share it with other pets without separate vet authorization.
• Avoid Extra Treats: Giving treats or non-Metabolic foods during this diet can undermine the caloric control and metabolic activation this formula provides.
• Monitor Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss can cause hepatic lipidosis in cats. Consult your vet if weight drops faster than recommended.
• Keep Packaging Out of Reach: To prevent suffocation, always keep the food cans and packaging out of reach of cats and children.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment Period: Some cats may experience temporary stool changes or mild digestive upset during the initial transition.
• Increased Food-Seeking Behavior: Cats switching to a calorie-controlled diet may show increased hunger or food-seeking behavior between meals initially.
• Rapid Weight Loss Risk: Excessively fast weight loss can trigger hepatic lipidosis. Always monitor progress and consult your vet if weight drops too quickly.
• Reduced Appetite: Some cats may initially hesitate to eat or show reduced appetite when first introduced to this new prescription wet food formula.

Storage Information

• Store Unopened Cans at Room Temperature: Keep all unopened cans in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat until they are ready to use.
• Refrigerate Opened Cans: After opening, cover the can and refrigerate at 40°F to 45°F; use the remaining contents within 5 to 7 days for optimal freshness and food safety.
• Remove Uneaten Food from Bowl Within 4 Hours: Any portion of wet food left in your cat's bowl should be discarded within 4 hours at room temperature to prevent spoilage.
• Do Not Freeze: Do not freeze opened or unopened canned food, as freezing alters the texture and may affect the nutritional integrity of the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is the Metabolic canned cat food different from the dry version?

Ans: Both dry and wet Metabolic formulas use the same metabolic activation technology and are clinically proven for weight loss. The canned version offers higher moisture content, supporting hydration and urinary health, and comes in 136-calorie cans. Feed either format exclusively or combine them as your vet directs.

Q2: How many calories are in each can of Hill's Metabolic wet cat food?

Ans: Each 5.5 oz can of Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Chicken Flavor Wet Cat Food contains 136 calories. Your veterinarian will advise on how many cans per day are appropriate based on your cat's current weight and target weight goal.

Q3: Can I combine the Metabolic canned food with the Metabolic dry food for my cat?

Ans: Hill's recommends feeding exclusively within the Metabolic formula line. The dry and wet versions can be mixed or fed together at each meal, which can improve palatability and fluid intake. Confirm the right daily ratio and total amount with your vet.

Q4: Why is it important not to overfeed my cat even on Metabolic prescription food?

Ans: Overfeeding any food, including prescription weight management formulas, can stall weight loss. At the same time, cats should not lose weight too fast. Sudden caloric restriction or rapid weight loss can trigger hepatic lipidosis, a serious and potentially fatal condition in cats.

Q5: Do I need a prescription to buy Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic canned cat food?

Ans: Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic requires a valid veterinary prescription or nutritional authorization before purchase. Your vet must confirm your cat is overweight or obese and recommend this diet as part of a supervised weight management program.
