- Formulated with omega-3 fatty acids to support joint health
- Designed to activate metabolism and support weight loss

- Addresses growing prevalence of feline obesity
Hill’s Pet Nutrition has launched Prescription Diet Metabolic + j/d, a new therapeutic nutrition designed to address both weight management and mobility challenges in cats.
The formula combines the company’s Metabolic and j/d technologies, aiming to support weight loss while improving joint health. The diet includes targeted levels of omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammation and support cartilage health, alongside a nutrient profile designed to activate metabolism and promote fat loss.
Feline obesity remains a significant concern, with industry data indicating a majority of cats evaluated by veterinary professionals are overweight or obese. Excess weight is closely linked to reduced mobility and quality of life.
According to the company, the combined formulation is intended to help address both conditions simultaneously, eliminating the need to prioritize one over the other in dietary management. The product is available through veterinarians, who are advised to guide pet owners on appropriate use.
Hill’s indicated the innovation is part of its broader strategy to provide veterinarians with nutrition-based tools to manage complex, multifactorial conditions in companion animals.
