The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Ocean Fish Dry Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your cat’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps stimulate the appetite and increase caloric intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
This product requires a veterinary prescription. Simply provide your vet's information during checkout and we'll follow up to confirm the prescription, or email a copy of your prescription to vetdiet@chewy.com and we'll get your order out right away.

My 18 year old, Tucker, has been on the K/D formula since he was diagnosed with kidney disease. Because of a recent health problem with a tooth abcess, I had trouble getting him to eat his dry food. I switched to the ocean fish flavor & he loves it! He is eating more often now & has started gaining back some of the weight he lost when he was sick.

My cats aren't super fussy, but they know what they like. They are eating this, though I can't say they're as enthusiastic about it as they seemed to be about their old cat food. But they're definitely eating it, so it's doing the job.

This is the dry version. We have tried numerous brands of wet kd food because the vet said our elderly picky cat needed it. She has refused all kd food so far even with all the tricks we were told to try. It has been a battle. However she will eat the dry version which we hope she will continue to do.

My poor baby is fighting kidney disease hard. She has lost about 40% of her body weight in about 8 months. She has a pretty poor appetite but she actually likes this dry food! I am so happy to find a dry food she will eat. I offer the k/d dry and the canned k/d tuna stew. She likes the dry as much as the canned food! Oh and Chewy customer service is hands down the best on the planet!

I didn't know what to expect when the Vet said her kidneys are failing. I took their food home and ordered this kibble. It's a hit. My biggest problem is keeping it away from my other cat.

I have 4 cats. One was just diagnosed with early kidney failure. The vet suggested feeding him K/D to slow down the progress. I was concerned if he would eat it (picky eater) and if it was alright for the other 3. The cat with kidney failure likes as do the other 3 cats. I am very happy about this.

I have a senior kitty that was recently diagnosed with the beginning stages of kidney disease. Ordered this food and mixed it 50/50 with her old food to get her used to it. So far she is really liking it.

My 17 1/2 year old cat has renal failure and has been on KD brand food for over a year. He always eats the wet food. We were going away for a couple days and no one was available to come check on our cat. I couldn't leave the wet food out as it would spoil. I called our Vet and asked what I should do. He said to dry the KD dry cat food. I did and my cats loves it! Now he wants it all the time.

This food is necessary for my cats diet and long term care. The food is appealing to my cat which I appreciate since he has to have k/d food for the rest of his life. I fail to understand why this food is so expensive. The price per pound of this product is very poor.
