Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Cat Dry Food with Tuna

Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Cat Food with Tuna is a complete dietetic pet food for support of renal function in case of chronic or temporary renal insufficiency in adult cats. This food has a low level of phosphorus and a restricted level of protein but of high quality. When cats have damage to kidney tissues, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed. Dietetic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively. Cats with decreased kidney function may experience loss of appetite and their food intake might decline. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet k/d clinical nutrition with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to nourish the gut microbiome to help support kidney function, and with Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) to stimulate appetite and increase food intake. This dry food is made with tuna and has an irresistible taste that your cat will love. In fact, Prescription Diet k/d is clinically proven nutrition to improve and lengthen quality of life. Made with 100% cage-free eggs or egg derivatives.

Note: a veterinary diet; seek your veterinarian's advice before use. Transition gradually over 7 days.
