Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Pate with Tuna Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Tuna Canned 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 with proven nutrition developed by nutritionists and veterinarians.
- Stimulates appetite and increases caloric intake, and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- 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.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Sample Can Success
By Mary on Nov 24, 2020
My girl is a bit odd. She's picky but she has no issue with a 100% diet change overnight. Basically, she eats what she likes and refuses what she doesn't with very little in between. I've had her on the Tuna Stew kidney diet for months. Recently she's become extremely itchy, and I believe it's from being allergic to something in the tuna stew. I was going to buy a case of this to test, but luckily I haven't gone and donated the food I tried her on previously, because the Hill's kidney diet sample pack has a can of this food! I just fed some to her for her breakfast and she ate nearly all of it, just like she would with her tuna stew. Now to see if she accepts it for dinner and, the biggest My girl is a bit odd.

Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Pate with Tuna
By Donna on Nov 14, 2020
My older cat's creatinine level is rising, so she may be headed for kidney disease. My vet wants her on this diet to see if her creatinine levels go down. She loves the flavor and I will add the chicken pate soon as well. I am always very pleased with Chewy's service, the products they offer and the FAST delivery to my door. Since my cat will most likely be on this k/d diet for quite some time, I can also put this order on auto delivery and I choose when it is delivered. I love CHEWY!!!!!!

Why do you constantly JACK up the prices on things
By Curious on Oct 12, 2020
So I’ve been buying this food for over a year at 52.99, all of sudden Chewy runs out of it for a few months back and now the price was hiked up another 4 bucks? This isn’t the first time with a product that I was buying and was jacked up in price, the other was the stew that was jacked up in price maybe 9 months ago. It’s becoming annoying. 1 dollar, 2 maybe ok but 4 bucks at this time of the current aspect of struggle in society? Sorry but since I’ve only been buying since summer of 2019 and this is the second product that was increased in price dramatically, forces me to leave this type of review. It’s prescription, it’s already a high amount...after the Stew was hiked, I got a coupon, thanks So I’ve been buying this food for over a year at 52.99, all of sudden Chewy runs out of it for a few months back and now the price was hiked up another 4 bucks?

Will eat but the smell
By Nilla on Nov 11, 2020
Can’t say how well it is helping my cats kidneys, but she happily eats it. However despite a slow transition switching and now several weeks on it alone her poop continues to smell horrifically. Like I need to cover my nose and mouth with an essential oil cloth. She’s been on it for several weeks so doesn’t seem to be a adjustment issue

My cat's new fave
By jdsison on Nov 22, 2020
My Jazzmine was recently diagnosed with stage 2 CKD and the vet recommended this to help her. She's very finicky, but because of the tuna flavor, she's adjusted quite well and has been close to clearing her bowl at meals. This is starting to be one of her new favorite foods.

FOR YOUR KIDNEY-CHALLENGED KITTY!!!
By carollee63 on Oct 1, 2020
It was tough hearing the news that our 13-year-old had developed chronic renal failure. He was lethargic, disinterested, and was rapidly losing weight. Blood tests confirmed the diagnosis. My vet recommended that we immediately begin a course of weekly infusion hydration and to switch to a prescription "kidney diet". She gave us various samples/brands to try, for we all know how finicky our feline friends are about their food. The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d kidney care pate with tuna moist food was our ultimate choice. He loves it (as do our other cats)! Stews and shreds don't go over well with our cats. And they clearly prefer seafood flavors over poultry. Talk bout picky!!!! CHEWY quickly It was tough hearing the news that our 13-year-old had developed chronic renal failure.

Worked for our cat
By ChewyFan on Oct 2, 2020
Our girl was just diagnosed with kidney disease. She also has hyperthyroidism (managed) and she does not have any teeth. She seems to like this food and doesn't have any issues eating it when we mix it with some water. We are actually seeing her put some weight back on (which she needed to do). She does best when we feed her 1/4 of the can at a time. Grateful Chewy carries this line. It was very easy to process the prescription, too!

K/D Pate C'at Food
By Calam on Nov 7, 2020
My finicky cat hates this pate. However, I've switched to the stew variety and he likes that. Chewy is so great!! They refunded the cost for the unopened case he wouldn't eat and I donated it to a local animal shelter.

Great stuff
By Kobi on Sep 30, 2020
I gave the Hill's K/D diet to my 16 year old cat and she really liked it. Before going she would have a small meal in the morning and also in the evening. Now she wants to eat all the time. Her kidneys seem to be working a lot better but only time will tell as I have lost (2) cats to kidney disease in the past. With that said, this is a great product.

Great Elderly Cat Food
By Mamadear on Oct 26, 2020
Our Vet had recommended this food for our elderly cat that was losing a lot of weight. She was quickly becoming lethargic. She is now gaining back weight and becoming more active. Such a relief.
