Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d® is a specialized clinical nutrition solution developed to support dogs with kidney health needs. This therapeutic diet recognizes the vital role kidneys play in filtering waste and toxins from the blood while maintaining the body's delicate balance of fluids and minerals - functions that can become compromised as pets age.
Developed by Hill's expert team of nutritionists and veterinarians, this clinically proven formula helps improve and extend quality of life for dogs with kidney issues. The diet specifically addresses the challenges faced by dogs with renal concerns, including potential loss of appetite and decreased caloric intake that can lead to muscle mass loss. While kidney tissue damage is irreversible, Prescription Diet® k/d® provides targeted nutritional support to help manage your dog's kidney health and maintain their overall well-being. This scientifically formulated nutrition offers pet parents a proven solution to help support their dog's kidney function and quality of life.
