Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Wet Dog Food 13oz

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 Kidney Care clinical nutrition to help protect your dog's vital kidney function. It is available in multiple wet forms and flavors to entice even the pickiest of eaters.

This canned food is made with chicken and has a ground texture with an irresistible taste that your dog will love. In fact, the nutrition of Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care is clinically proven to improve and lengthen quality of life.
