Ships from Canada. No import fees.Product Description
Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d® is a specialized clinical nutrition solution designed to support cats with kidney disease, clinically tested to improve and extend their quality of life. This therapeutic diet is particularly important for cats experiencing renal issues, as kidneys play the vital role of filtering waste and toxins from the blood while maintaining proper fluid and mineral balance in the body.
Developed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians and manufactured in the USA using trusted global ingredients, this formula addresses the complex needs of cats with kidney disease. The diet features high levels of essential amino acids to help maintain muscle mass, which is crucial as cats with renal issues often experience decreased appetite and reduced caloric intake. Additionally, the formula promotes a healthy urinary environment that helps reduce the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation. While kidney damage is irreversible, this specialized nutrition can help support your cat's kidney function and overall well-being when prescribed by your veterinarian.
