Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic + Mobility Weight Management Dog Food review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Metabolic plus Mobility Weight Management is the wet counterpart to the Hill's combined slimming and joint kibble. The Prescription Diet range is where Hill's keeps it, sold for dogs a vet is managing on both fronts.

WetAdult

The wet counterpart to Hill's combined slimming and joint kibble, sold in the Prescription Diet range for dogs a vet is managing on both fronts. Energy comes in at 86 kcal per 100g, light for a wet food, which is what a weight-loss diet aims for. The label names no meat species at all.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs a vet is managing for weight and joints together
A light wet food: 86 kcal per 100g
Shellfish on the list, the usual carrier for glucosamine in a recipe built this way
Dogs that eat better from a pack than from a bowl of kibble

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives with no species named, so no exclusion trial from this label
Molluscs and crustaceans, worth knowing for a shellfish-sensitive dog
A 15kg dog needs 440 grams a day on the pack's table, more than one pack
