Why should your dog eat Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Canned Dog Food?

Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians manufactured Prescription Diet k/d to support their kidney function, for renal health, and help sustain muscle mass. The nutrition of k/d is clinically tested nutrition to improve and lengthen quality of life.

How does Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Canned Dog Food work?

A kidneys' role is to filter waste and toxins from the blood, such as phosphorus and sodium, and maintain the normal balance of fluid and minerals within the body. As dogs are getting older, decreased kidney function (i.e., renal dogs) is more likely to occur. Dogs then experience a decreased appetite, caloric intake, and loss of muscle mass.

The product creates an unfavorable environment for excess materials, such as phosphorus and sodium, in the kidney to form bladder stones and crystals. The recipe controls their levels, protects essential kidney and heart function with L-Carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids, and supports building lean muscle with high amino acids.

The well-known pet food brand Hill's new Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology is specially tailored for renal dogs to improve their kidney care by stimulating their appetite and increasing their caloric intake.

Crude Fat (4.5 %) is the term for fat-soluble materials such as lipid content in your dog's food when ingested.

Crude Fiber (2.5 %) is a measure of indigestible cellulose, pentosans, lignin, and other components of this type of chemical fibers. It has little food value but provides major intestinal tract peristalsis, a wave-like muscle contraction to relax the stomach muscles.
