Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d® is a specialized clinical nutrition solution designed to support dogs with kidney health needs. This therapeutic diet addresses the vital role of kidneys 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. As kidney tissue damage is irreversible and can lead to decreased appetite and muscle mass loss, Prescription Diet® k/d® provides targeted nutritional support to help manage these challenges.
