Hill's Prescription Diet: k/d Pâté with Chicken Wet Cat Food
Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Pâté with Chicken is a clinically proven therapeutic wet cat food specially formulated to support kidney function in cats. When kidney tissue is damaged, the kidneys lose their ability to filter, reabsorb water, and process nutrients effectively. While this damage cannot be reversed, the right nutrition can help slow its progression. Developed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians, this formula features the proprietary ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense blend of betaine and prebiotics to promote a healthy gut microbiome balance, helping to protect kidney function. The Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology is designed to stimulate appetite and encourage food intake in cats with 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 — a proprietary blend of betaine and prebiotics — promotes a balanced gut microbiome, which helps protect kidney function by reducing harmful toxins produced by gut bacteria.
- Rich in essential amino acids, the key building blocks of muscle protein, to help maintain lean muscle mass.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology stimulates appetite and encourages increased food consumption in cats experiencing reduced appetite.
- S+OXSHIELD™ technology helps balance the urinary environment, reducing the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation.
