k/d Feline Dry

Hill’s® Prescription Diet® k/d™ Feline Dry Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can transform your pet’s life.

The kidney’s role is to filter waste and toxins from the blood, and maintain the normal balance of fluid and minerals within the body. As pets are getting older, damage to kidney tissues may occur. This process is irreversible and will lead to further loss of kidney function. Renal cats may also experience loss of appetite and their caloric intake might decline, which may lead eventually to loss of muscle mass.

100% complete and balanced nutrition
L- Carnitine (Increased) – Helps support fat utilization as a source of energy, sparing muscles
Essential amino acids (Increased) – More than 150% of AAFCO minimum to help the cat’s natural ability to build muscle mass daily

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your cat’s temperament, activity level and environment.
Cats by nature can indulge in 12 to 20 small meals throughout the day and night so it is very important that the cat’s daily food ration should be permanently available so they can eat at their own pace.
Remember, when changing your cat’s food or diet allow 7 – 10 days to ease the transition from your cat’s current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more of the new until you are feeding the new food exclusively. This gradual transition is important and will help to avoid any dietary upsets.
Always provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily.
For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.
