Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Chicken & Vegetable Stew Canned Cat Food
Product Description
Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d® is a specialized clinical nutrition solution designed to support cats with kidney issues, helping them maintain a happy and active life. This therapeutic diet addresses the unique needs of feline renal health, recognizing the vital role kidneys play in filtering waste and toxins from the blood while balancing fluids and minerals in the body.
Developed by Hill's expert nutritionists and veterinarians and made in the USA with trusted global ingredients, this formula has been clinically tested to improve and extend quality of life in cats with kidney concerns. It features high levels of essential amino acids, the building blocks of muscle protein, to help combat the potential loss of muscle mass often associated with decreased appetite in renal cats. Additionally, the diet promotes a urinary environment that reduces the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation, providing comprehensive support for your cat's urinary health. While kidney damage is irreversible, Prescription Diet® k/d® offers proven nutritional support to help manage your cat's kidney function and overall well-being. As with all specialized diets, consult your veterinarian to determine if this nutrition plan is right for your feline companion's specific health needs.
