Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Chicken & Vegetable Stew Canned Dog Food
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
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.

He Likes It!
By VTDogMom on Dec 28, 2021
The last dog I had with failing kidneys hated the prescription food (another brand), so did not expect anything different this time. Wrong! Gizmo loves this food. All my pups get veggies and fruit daily, so this food fits with what Gizmo has been eating. I do think transitioning him to the prescription food while he still feels well has something to do with it. Plus, I am alternating this food with the k/d Chicken (pate form, great for giving pills in little "meatballs").

liked at first
By Tracey on Dec 17, 2021
Oscar liked this at first, but after 4 cans he refused to eat it. I am sure he is just being stubborn since we also started him on a high carb diet along with the Kidney Care. It does help with kidney problems I believe, just not sure how to get him to eat it now. If you are just starting this food, might buy a few cans to make sure they will continue to eat it. I bought enough for a month and have only used 4 cans.

Gypsy loves it!
By Gypsy on Jan 20, 2022
Gypsy is a super picky eater. When the vet prescribed K/D food I thought she would turn her nose up at it. She gobbles it down! The pull top is also a plus because I don’t need a can opener! Chewy ordering is so easy and delivery is so quick.

My dog loved it
By DogMom on Dec 26, 2021
Transitioning from one dog food to another is never easy; however, I have to say that our rather picky Border Collie had no problems devouring her dinner when we gave her her first bite of this 'stew'. Since then, she has gone onto the dry k/d but isn't keen about eating it unless we top it off with a little bit of this 'stew'.

Rani Loves It!
By 1khills on Jan 7, 2022
My 9 year old golden has PLN which was diagnosed before she became symptomatic . She loves all the Hills k/d canned & dry food. This canned stew is her favorite. The photo is Rani on the left watching Bart fix her supper with this canned k/d mixed with low cal veggies.

Great Product
By Doglover on Dec 18, 2021
My dog stopped eating the dry prescription food. So my vet recommended to mix this canned food with the dry. And my dog, Kasha, just loves it. She is now eating again and gained some weight back. Very happy with this food.

Easy to use website. Quick service and delivery. I have several automatic orders and I don't have to worry about re-ordering. I'm very pleased with Chewy. I order cat food, dog food, bird seed and cat litter.

My dog hated this food
By Arthur on Oct 28, 2021
He had been eating Hills Urinary Formula so when his kidneys became a problem I ordered the Hills kidney formula, thinking he would like it as well. He hated it. He pushed his dish into a remote corner and refused to eat it. He also disliked the Hills kidney formula kibble. I just ordered one of the other branded kidney foods. Hopefully, it will appeal to him. He has never been a fussy eater, but it seems he would rather starve than eat this glop.
