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

When your dog's kidneys are damaged, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed, and taking action early can be beneficial. Dietetic 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 Early Stage clinical nutrition for early protection of a dog's vital kidney function and to encourage eating for strength and energy. It's formulated with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to nourish the gut microbiome to help support kidney function. This dry food has an irresistible taste that your dog will love.

How it works:

Controlled phosphorus & low sodium, enriched with Omega-3s from fish oil
ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense nourishes the gut microbiome to support kidney health
