Hill's w/d Mini Low Fat/Diabetes/Colitis - Prescription Diet - Canine

Hill's w/d Mini Low Fat/Diabetes/Colitis will leave our range at the end of 2020. A good replacement is the Hill's Diabetes Care diet. With an adjusted kibble size, this food is suitable for both large and small dogs. The composition has also been optimised to meet the needs of dogs with diabetes and a healthy or unhealthy weight. Gradually switch to the new day in a span of 7 days.

Canine w/d Mini Low Fat/Diabetes/Colitis - Prescription Diet - Canine

This diet food is low in calories and fat and helps your dog to maintain its ideal weight. It is rich in dietary fibre to help reduce the feeling of fullness, resulting in less begging from your dog. Supplemented with L-carnitine to help burn fat and preserve muscle. Hill's w/d Canine is high in fibre, which helps regulate intestinal function.

The high content of dietary fibre in Hill's w/d Prescription Diet Canine has a positive effect on a number of different conditions. The chunks of the w/d Mini are smaller, making them ideal for small(er) dogs up to 10 kg.

Conditions improve thanks to dietary fibre include:

• Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes), because the blood sugar fluctuates less.
• Pancreatitis with hyperlipidaemia, due to decreased levels of fat.
• Colitis, because the transportation of intestinal contents is better regulated.
• Constipation, because more water is absorbed, bowel movements are stimulated.
• Obesity, due to a reduced fat content that helps your dog maintain a healthy weight.
• Reduction of the formation of struvite crystals (stones) thanks to a reduced concentration of the building blocks of struvite; namely magnesium, protein, phosphorus.
• Moreover, Hill's w/d is ideal for adult dogs that are less active or have been neutered, and to prevent dogs from gaining weight again after successful weight loss.

Not suitable for:

Hill's w/d Canine is not suitable for cats, puppies, pregnant or lactating dogs, concomitant use of urinary acidifiers, or dogs that are too thin or dehydrated.
