Chicken Meal is the first ingredient.

Hill's sells Metabolic Weight + j/d Chicken Flavor as part of its Prescription Diet line, a therapeutic tier available through veterinarians rather than on the open shelf. Hill's describes it as "clinical nutrition specially formulated to support your pet's weight management and joint health." It is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs, and the first five ingredients on the label are Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Flaxseed, Soybean Meal, and Whole Grain Corn. Hill's lists ingredients by pre-cooking weight, so the order shows what goes into the recipe before processing, not the finished proportions. It comes in 24 lb, 15 lb. Hill's product page states: "Please consult your veterinarian for further information on how our Prescription Diet foods can help your dog." Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
