ACTRESS AND COMEDIAN CHLOE FINEMAN TAKES DOG, PEACH, ON A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY WITH HILL'S PET NUTRITION

Campaign encourages pet parents to tackle their pet's extra fluff

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comedian Chloe Fineman's beloved Shiba Inu, Peach, is trading in his extra fluff for a healthier lifestyle. Fineman has partnered with Hill's Pet Nutrition to chronicle Peach's weight loss adventure using Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight food, proving that helping your pet lose weight doesn't have to be hard.

"Pet parent guilt is REAL, especially when it comes to our furry friends' health," said Fineman. "Peach has been on a weight loss journey with Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight, and honestly, it's been so much easier than I expected! Life gets busy, but knowing Peach is getting the nutrition he needs to be healthier and happier makes me feel so much better."

Pet obesity is a significant health threat, as 59% of dogs and 61% of cats in the US are overweight or obese (Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 2022). Even a small amount of excess weight can impact a pet's energy levels, mobility, and overall well-being, and can increase the risk of serious health issues.

US Chief Veterinary Officer for Hill's Pet Nutrition Dr. Karen Shenoy encourages pet parents to visit EndPetObesity.com and take the L.O.V.E. test to help determine their pet's weight status at home. The L.O.V.E. test is a simple at-home assessment tool provided by Hill's Pet Nutrition that helps evaluate a pet's body condition and feeding behavior. Then, Shenoy encourages pet owners to have a conversation with their veterinarian.

"Many of us don't realize it when our pets are overweight because it often happens gradually over time," Shenoy said. "Even though it's happening right in front of you, a few ounces here and there can be hard to detect, but they can add up and lead to serious health issues."

In a study, the nutrition in Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight's science-based formula helped over 70% of pets shed pounds within 10 weeks. Shenoy recommends that you talk to your veterinarian about one of Hill's Prescription Diet weight management products if your pet has a significant amount of weight to lose. When fed the nutrition of Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic, 96% of dogs lost weight at home in two months.

"Peach's health and happiness are everything to me, and maintaining a healthy weight is so important for his overall well-being," said Fineman. "Since starting him on Hill's Science Diet Perfect Weight, I've noticed positive changes. He seems to have more pep in his step, his coat is looking shiny, and he's just generally more playful."

Fineman and Peach are sharing updates on their journey through social media, encouraging pet parents to prioritize their pets' weight and well-being. Follow Chloe (@chloeiscrazy), Peach (@peachiscrazy) and Hill's Pet Nutrition (@hillspet) on Instagram for more information.
