INTRODUCING A NEW APPROACH TO PET WEIGHT LOSS
Hill’s new Prescription Diet® Metabolic Advanced Weight Solution
- 53% of dogs and 55% of cats in the United States are overweight or obese according to a 2011 survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention.
- Hill’s in association with the University of Tennessee School Of Veterinary Medicine has developed a new approach for weight loss which includes a new method of calculating how much food your pet should eat and a new food that provides “zero deprivation weight loss and maintenance nutrition.”
- 96% of dogs and 81% of cats lost weight with an average of 0.7% of body weight loss per week over a two-month period.
- Hill’s ® Prescription Diet ® Metabolic Advance Weight Solution is a unique diet that contains a synergistic blend of nutrients and ingredients that work to change multiple pathways that are important for energy metabolism.
The Hill’s Healthy Weight Program
Step 1
We will weigh your pet and take a few easy skeletal Morphometric Measurements
– Four in dogs: cranial length, head circumference, front and hind leg lengths
– Six in cats: head circumference, thoracic circumference, front leg circumference, and front leg, hind leg and body lengths
Step 2
Using the above measurements we will use software to do the following:
– Calculate your pet’s ideal body weight and caloric needs
– Generate a custom feeding plan using Hill’s Metabolic with a graph to predict rate of weight loss (Yes, we can allow for treats!)
– Calculate cost of feeding on a daily basis and how long a bag or case of food will last
Step 3
Monitor weight changes
– Your pet will return for periodic weigh-ins to chart progress as compared to the initial graph
Step 4
– Once your pet’s weight loss goal has been achieved we will determine your pet’s maintenance caloric needs to prevent that fat form sneaking back.
