Hill's r/d Weight Reduction - Prescription Diet - Canine

Hill's r/d - Weight Loss/Low Calorie - Canine

Hill's r/d Canine has been specially developed for obese dogs, those with diabetes (diabetes mellitus), or those with intestinal problems that improve with a high fibre diet (colitis, constipation). The high fibre content increases nutritional volume, which in turn increases satiety and reduces the feeling of hunger. It minimises fluctuations in blood sugar levels and may reduce the need for daily insulin. The passage of food through the gut is regulated, and more water is absorbed which stimulates bowel activity. For smaller dogs, Hill's r/d Mini Canine is more suitable.

Also available in Hill's Prescription Diet r/d Weight Reduction wet food.

Obesity in dogs
