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

Hill's r/d Feline is a low-calorie, low-fat fibrous diet food specifically designed to promote weight loss. The high fibre levels help create a satiated feeling and will help with diminishing the amount of "begging". The added L-carnitine helps with fat-burning yet maintaining muscle and the high level of antioxidants helps to neutralise free radicals. Hill's r/d Weight Reduction is suitable for cats that are overweight or obese, and cats with conditions that improve thanks to dietary fibre in overweight cats, such as: diabetes mellitus, colitis and constipation.

Obesity in cats

Obesity occurs when the balance between the absorption and burning rate of energy is uneven. If your cat absorbs too much energy through its food that it won't burn, the excess energy will be stored in the body as "fat". If too much energy is absorbed on a regular basis, your cat will eventually become overweight or even obese. Obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes, joint disorders and heart conditions so it is very important for your cat to lose weight before it's too late. In order to lose weight, your cat should burn more energy through exercise whilst simultaneously absorbing less energy through food. The latter can be accomplished by putting your cat on a low calorie diet.

Recommended for

• Overweight cats
• Conditions that improve thanks to dietary fibre in overweight cats, such as: diabetes mellitus, colitis and constipation.
• Hyperlipidaemia

Quantity

In order for the cat to lose weight, the amount of food has to be calculated on the basis of the estimated ideal body weight (target weight), and not on the body weight at the time of being overweight.
