According to the 2022 State of Pet Obesity Report by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 61% of cats assessed by veterinary professionals in the U.S. were classified as overweight or obese. Excess weight can lead to diminished mobility and overall quality of life. The new Prescription Diet Metabolic + j/d aims to alleviate these issues by improving mobility and activating metabolism in cats.
This diet includes a specific blend of omega-3 fatty acids designed to support joint health while also promoting weight loss. Research indicates that when pets were fed exclusively on this Metabolic nutrition, 88% experienced weight loss within two months at home, which can also enhance joint health. Key benefits of the new formula include:
- Reduction of inflammation through precise omega-3 fatty acid levels
- Support for joint cartilage health with nutrients specifically for joints
- Activation of metabolism for effective weight loss
- Enhanced satiety to keep cats feeling full
Dr. Chelsie Estey, US Chief Veterinary Officer at Hill's, emphasized the importance of ongoing research and innovation in veterinary care, stating, "This therapeutic innovation can dramatically improve the quality of life for our feline companions." She urged pet owners to consult their veterinarians regarding the suitability of Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic + j/d for their pets.
The diet's formulation also helps improve cats' physical activity, enabling them to run, jump, and play effectively, often within a month of starting the new nutrition. Carrick Massey, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Hill's US, highlighted the role of veterinarians in promoting pet health and expressed pride in offering this groundbreaking product.
Pet owners interested in Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic + j/d are encouraged to consult with their veterinarians for further information. Hill's Pet Nutrition, a leader in science-based pet nutrition for over 75 years, aims to enhance the bond between people and their pets through innovative research and specialized dietary products.
