Hill's PRESCRIPTION DIET k/d Dog Food is complete dietetic pet food for support of renal function in case of chronic or temporary renal insufficiency in adult dogs. This food has a low level of phosphorus and a restricted level of protein but of high quality.

When dogs have damage to kidney tissues, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before, like filtering and reabsorbing nutrients. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed. Therapeutic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively. Dogs with decreased kidney function may experience loss of appetite and their food intake might decline.

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 nourish the gut microbiome to help support kidney function. Prescription Diet k/d is also formulated with Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T) to stimulate appetite and encourage food intake. This dry food has an irresistible taste that your dog will love.
