Hills Prescription Diet KD Kidney Care Early Stage Dry Food for Cats is a veterinary diet formulated to support kidney function in cats. It contains controlled phosphorus, low sodium, and Omega-3s from fish oil, along with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defence to nourish the gut microbiome. The food also includes Enhanced Appetite Trigger Technology and high levels of essential amino acids and L-carnitine.

When your cat’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. Cats 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 cat’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 cat will love.
