Overview

Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic + Mobility (often shown on packaging as "Metabolic + Mobility" or combined with the j/d line) is a veterinary prescription dry dog food formulated to support weight management and joint mobility. The photographed bag clearly shows the Hill's Prescription Diet logo and the "Metabolic + Mobility / j/d" designation, plus a small-breed (Mini) indication — matching Hill's marketed Prescription Diet formulation for weight-loss plus joint support.

Manufacturing & Origin

Hill's Prescription Diet products are produced for international markets from multiple manufacturing sites. In practice, these diets are primarily manufactured in the United States (Hill's operates multiple U.S. plants and has publicly stated "Made in the USA with global ingredients" for many Prescription Diet and Science Diet SKUs), while Hill's also maintains production capacity in Europe and other regions to serve local markets. Therefore the product is best described as "Primarily in United States, but also produced in other locations."

Brand & Ownership

The Prescription Diet line is part of Hill's Pet Nutrition — a U.S.-born brand with roots going back to Hill Rendering Works. Hill's Pet Nutrition operates the Science Diet and Prescription Diet ranges and is itself a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive. Colgate-Palmolive, headquartered in New York City, is the ultimate owner and oversees Hill's global pet nutrition business.

Notes on Distribution & Local Production

Hill's sells Prescription Diet products through veterinary channels and authorized retailers; regional packaging or "Made in" claims can vary by SKU and market. Hill's has expanded manufacturing capacity (including new and acquired plants in the U.S. and Europe) to meet global demand, so exact country-of-manufacture for any given bag should be confirmed from the package lot coding or the label's "Made in" statement if a definitive origin is required.
