Hill’s Introduces Foods to Address Concurrent Conditions

Hill’s Pet Nutrition has introduced two new foods to help address common concurrent health conditions. For pet owners, managing two different concurrent health concerns can be stressful. “Concurrent conditions are difficult to manage successfully, often requiring multiple treatment options,” stated Dr. Ellen Lowery, Hill’s Director of U.S. Professional & Veterinary Affairs. “Sometimes it creates the challenge of deciding which condition to focus on first, when really the only way to effectively treat both is to work together.”

Pet obesity is on the rise, approximately 54% of dogs and cats in the United States are considered overweight or obese according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. Hill’s has created two new food formulas that are based off of their Prescription Metabolic Diet.

With dogs, there is a long-standing correlation between canine obesity and osteoarthritis. Hill’s has combined the benefits of their Metabolic and Mobility diet to create Metabolic + Mobility Canine. This new food has clinically tested nutrition to improve mobility in as few as 21 days and reduce body mass by 13% in two months.

Cats can be affected by obesity and lower urinary tract disease so Hill’s has combined their Metabolic and Urinary Feline diet to create Metabolic + Urinary Feline. Metabolic + Urinary Feline has clinically tested nutrition to reduce common urinary signs by 89% and reduce body mass by 11% in two months.
