The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Chicken & Vegetable Stew Canned Dog 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 dog’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.
- Boosts vitality and energy 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.

- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Great Product!
By SusieT on Sep 29, 2020
My 11 year old Yorkie has advanced kidney disease and has an inoperable tumor in her throat. She was having trouble swallowing her dry Hills Prescription k/d and she wasn't a fan of the regular canned k/d so I tried the k/d Kidney Care chicken stew. She loves it and it is much easier for her to swallow. Great product! It looks and smells good and the way my Yorkie eats it I think it must taste good too!

Quality of product going down
By Dave on Oct 13, 2020
I’ve been ordering this food for our dog with Kidney problems, the last case order was so watered down, instead of stew it was somewhat like a soup. If this is their way of cutting back perhaps just raise the price. Looking for another food choice.

KD Chicken & Vegetable Stew
By Jeanette on Jul 24, 2020
My dog likes this food, but I found it to be a lot more watery than the Hills KD chicken pate canned food that I purchased from my vet. If you have to give any medication, it's hard to make a meatball with the stew. Next time I'll know to purchase the pate. Otherwise, my dog loves the stew.

So far so good
By Pugmom on Jul 29, 2020
My dogs kidney values were extremely elevated as were her liver. After using this product for about 3 weeks, her values are coming down, they are still elevated but coming down. I have no idea if this is why or what but she loves the food and she is feeling much better.

Vet recommended, dog loved.
By Coco on Aug 21, 2020
I was surprised my dog took so well to this canned diet. My one complaint is that no indication is given for how much to feed my dog. The online advice I found is way too much for my guy's metabolism. So I'm experimenting with different amounts. But, I love that this prescription diet was delivered to me with such speed!

My dog enjoys the variety
By DLT4 on May 8, 2020
We’ve been feeding canned chicken k/d for almost a year but when my dog also started meds for hypothyroidism she lost her appetite. I ordered the k/d variety trial pack (which I highly recommend) and we found that she loves the chicken stew canned k/d. If she gets fussy and decides it’s not her favorite anymore it’s great to know they have other canned varieties such as beef stew and also canned lamb flavors. Through the use of the k/d variety pack I also discovered the dry varieties of k/d dog food have an appetite stimulant. We combine the dry and canned and she’s enjoying food again.
