When dogs have damage to kidney tissues, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before—such as filtering and reabsorbing nutrients. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed. Therapeutic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce the workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively. Dogs with decreased kidney function may experience loss of appetite and reduced food intake.
Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Hill's Prescription Diet k/d clinical nutrition with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to activate the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function. Prescription Diet k/d is available in multiple wet forms and flavors to entice even the pickiest of eaters.
This irresistible stew has tasty bite-sized chunks in gravy and is made with wholesome ingredients like chicken and vegetables that your dog will love. In fact, the nutrition of Prescription Diet k/d is clinically proven to improve and lengthen quality of life.
How it helps:
- Helps protect vital kidney function
- Helps manage the invisible changes within the intestinal tract that impact kidney function
- Helps build muscle mass and maintain energy and strength
- Available in multiple wet forms and flavors
- S+OXSHIELD: Formulated to promote a urinary environment that reduces the risk of developing struvite and calcium oxalate crystals
