Obesity is a problem not just for people, but for our pets, too. It's important to address this issue swiftly to decrease the weight related health problems our overweight pets can develop and extend their lifespan as well as improving their quality of life.
Current studies suggest that as much as 60% of the dogs and cats we care for are obese. Obesity in your pet can lead to serious health risks for them such as diabetes, joint disease, heart disease and decreased life span.
We suggest Hills R/D food to help reduce a dog's weight, and R/D or M/D for a cat..

Also, a new exciting dietary product helping dogs with degenerative joint disease, J/D diet by Hills is now available in both canned and dry formulations. This diet contains both condroitin and glucosamine supplementation providing the cartilage cells the necessary building blocks for continued joint health. More importantly, it contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that interfere with inflammatory hormones released by damaged cells in joints. People take omega-3 fatty acids to decrease inflammation in their arteries (especially coronary heart blood vessels). In dogs, high levels of certain types of omega-3 fatty acids can actually turn off the gene that produces the enzyme that destroys cartilage cells.
Many dogs can actually decrease their arthritis medication when on J/D and some dogs can even discontinue meds. Improvement can be seen in many cases within 21 days!. And, as with all Hills Prescription Diets, they are always 100% guaranteed for acceptance by your dog.
