For the Nutritional Management of Obese or Overweight Dogs.
Being overweight can cause your pet discomfort, reduce energy levels and even shorten their life.

Obesity can lead to such serious conditions as heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Prescription Diet® r/d® Canine dog food is designed specifically for the management of dogs that are overweight or obese. Its low fat, reduced calorie, high fiber formula helps dogs lose weight while helping them feel full. Prescription Diet® r/d® Canine has the highest levels of L-carnitine of any therapeutic weight loss food to help burn fat while increasing lean muscle mass. The nutritional formulation of Prescription Diet® r/d® Canine may also be useful for pets with a variety of conditions.

Daily Feeding Guide for Hill's Prescription Diet r/d Canine Dry Food:
These ranges are a starting point only. Determine the amount to feed based on target weight rather than the current weight. Your pet may need less or more food to safely lose weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, or if you are not feeding r/d Canine for weight loss, ask your veterinarian.
Keep fresh water available at all times! If switching from a canned product, make sure your pet drinks an adequate quantity of water to avoid constipation.
With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
Prescription Diet r/d Canine is available in canned and dry. Supplementation with other foods is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with r/d Canine canned, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
