Hills RD Weight Management Dry Dog Food

How it helps:

Prescription Diet™ Canine r/d™ was designed specifically for the management of weight problems in dogs. Clinically proven to reduce body fat by 22% in just 2 months.

• Realistic weight loss is approximately 1 % of bodyweight per week.
• The feeding amounts shown may sometimes need to be decreased to produce optimal weight loss.
• Full client co-operation must be obtained and food intake strictly controlled. Hill’s provides client information to help successful weight loss; contact your Hill’s representative for assistance.
• After reaching the target body weight, a dog should be fed Prescription Diet™ Canine w/d™ to maintain its ideal weight. In case of mobility problems, Prescription Diet Canine j/d™ Reduced Calorie can be given.
• The use of a unique nutrient combination to down-regulate the expression of genes associated with fat accumulation exemplifies Hill’s leadership in nutrigenomics.
