The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Ocean Fish 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.

I recently found out my elder cat has stage 1 kidney disease, so I had to switch her to this food. She took to this food quite well, but I do wish it came in different flavors so I could mix things up. She seems to grow bored of the same flavor of wet food. I feel like I've seen an improvement in her behavior too as she's much more lovey since getting on this food (wet and dry kibble).

My senior cat with only a few teeth is eating this pate version much better than the stew version of this food which we originally tried. She also seems to like the tuna better than the chicken. I recommend it because she will at least eat it (eventually), she has turned her nose up at some other high priced low phosphorous foods.

Luckily my cat Bruno likes the taste of this prescripion diet food for his kidneys. After 2 weeks of it I think he's getting bored but he was a cat that had different varieties of canned food, so I will be ordering the canned chicken k/d this week. I love the customer service and quick shipping from Chewy's.

Feeding my cat tuna flavored wet food is a new thing. I always chose chicken or turkey flavor. When my cat started on palative care the vet recommended anchovies or tuna. Soooo I found out my 17yr old cat loves tuna flavor.

The service has been good and the mailing very fast. I feel she will get better acquainted with the food as she has been on a more severe diet in the past. She is very picky.

I had a heck of a time finding renal care food for my senior cat. Finally, I've found a few, and this is one of them. Thank you, Chewy.com, for being so patient with me!!!

The cats usually like fish-based canned cat foods, so I wasn't too worried about them liking this. They definitely eat it up, especially my girl, who is a fussy eater. She's been going through a difficult time, completely changing her diet, having to start taking medicine regularly, and frequent trips to the vet until her health stabilizes. It was a relief that she took to the new diet well.

She was really bored with her other food and losing weight. This food is soft and she nearly inhales it! I alternate it with the other flavor to keep it interesting.

From all the reviews I've read for prescription food, it's hit or miss if the cat will like it. I'm thrilled that my 13 yr old rescue that I've only had for a few months likes this food. It is very thick so I add a bit of warm water to make it easier for her to eat. Here's a picture of her eating it. Excuse the mess, 1 daughter just left for college & we're rearranging things.

Vet said 14 yo cat's blood tests indicated the start of kidney dysfunction and recommended the Hill's prescriptive formulas for that. Also recommended weekly fluid infusions. I decided to try one at a time and assess. Cat loves the food: regular k/d, rotating the 4 types, pates and stews, chix and tuna. One day I accidentally picked up some of the k/d+mobility at my vet's little store. Cat does have some mobility problems, and the mobility formula did seem to make a bit of a difference, so now we mix some of that into the rotation. Have seen enough improvement in cat's activity level, etc. that I will continue with this diet regimen and hold off on the fluid infusions for the time being.
