Hill's Prescription Diet: k/d with Chicken Dog Food
Hill's Prescription Diet k/d with Chicken is a clinically proven therapeutic wet dog food specially formulated to support kidney function in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Developed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians, this formula features the proprietary ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense blend — combining betaine and prebiotics to promote a balanced gut microbiome, which in turn helps protect kidney function. Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology is incorporated to stimulate appetite and encourage food intake in dogs that may experience reduced appetite due to kidney disease.
How it works:
- Controls phosphorus and sodium levels while being enriched with omega fatty acids to reduce the workload on the kidneys.
- ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense promotes a balanced gut microbiome ecosystem, helping to reduce harmful kidney toxins produced by intestinal bacteria and supporting kidney protection.
- Rich in essential amino acids — the building blocks of muscle protein — to help maintain and support lean muscle mass.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology stimulates appetite and encourages increased food consumption in dogs with reduced appetite.
- S+OXSHIELD™ technology helps balance the urinary environment, reducing the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation.
