Why does your dog need Hills Prescription diet? Firstly, for the Hills prescription diet range you don't need a prescription, but they should be used on the advice and recommendation of a vet. The reason for this supervision is that the Hills prescription diet range was designed to deliver specific concentrations of nutrients in their foods for specific problems. As an example a dog that may have a weight problem may well be advised to have the Hills canine w/d diet, the 'w' indicating 'weight'. This diet has been specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of the dog but reducing the cabohydrate and fat intake and thus reducing the weight of the dog. This particluar diet is available in a dry food and a wet canned food. However, the diet might be totally unsuitable for an animal with certain digestive complaints so consultation with a vet is advised.
