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.

It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new 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.

| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Someone Explain to me
By Cupcakesmom on Aug 22, 2021
This was my very first order from Chewy.com and upon receiving our dog food every single can was extremely bashed in. My first thought was did I not do enough research? Is chewy.com a company that sells rejects for a discounted price? Terrible! Please do not try to blame it on shipping my box and packaging was in perfect shape!

Excellent food and service
By Melissa on Aug 9, 2021
My dog was diagnosed with kidney failure a year ago and immediately switched food. We got her labs done recently and things have not gotten worse so that is great news! She loves it too, she begs for supper time and she never did that in her 15 years. My vet over the last month has had a hard time keeping this in stock and when I ordered 24 cans they would give me 6 so I would be there every week. It was really annoying. I came here and I got the order I needed right away!

K/D canned dog food
By 10catgirl on Sep 8, 2021
So glad was able to get this from Chewy's and it was shipped very fast!! Had just found out that my 14 yr. old Aussie Terrier has kidney disease. I have had her since she was a year old and my best friend and protector!

The price is worth it
By Catherine on Aug 1, 2021
They upped the price :( but it's because they know it's good. Has the lowest protein content on the market and is the only one my dog will eat. He actually prefers it over his old dry food. The fact that it is so watery also helps get extra hydration into the doggies which is an added bonus for their kidneys. It honestly is the best and has the price tag to match.

Science Hill KD wet food
By Merlinsmama on Aug 22, 2021
I mix a little of the wet food with his dry food and he just LOVES his special diet food, I’m so glad because he needs to have this diet and I thought he’d have trouble adjusting to a new food but he fooled me, he can’t wait for meal time. Thanks Science Hill!

Helping my dog
By debV on Jun 9, 2021
Hill’s K/D line of dog food has helped my 10-year-old dog feel 100% better! When she was first diagnosed with kidney disease she wasn’t eating, she was losing weight, she was inactive, and not at all herself. My vet recommended the K/D dog food and blood pressure medication, which is what we did. We buy the K/D Kibble and add a couple spoons of the canned food. The K/D diet made an amazing difference! Chichi is happy and active again, and more like herself! Gave it 4 stars because at first she gobbled it up, but now she isn’t as eager to eat it. She eventually does when she realizes that’s all she is getting. Maybe it lacks flavor? Not sure, but happy she’s eating it and it works!!!

Doggy approved
By Nollie on Jun 21, 2021
Our best friend was recently diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease. We've been giving him fluids at home every 2-3 days and were told a kidney care diet is the best way to lower his numbers. He's a picky eater and wasn't too interested in the Hills dry dog food. These cans are a hit!!! It's high quality food, and he is so excited to eat it which is a huge win for us during these difficult times. We're hopeful his blood work will improve. Good luck to all of you!

My baby is eating without coaxing now
By Babsj on Jul 13, 2021
My little Cleo was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and had not been eating well. That was until my vet prescribed Hill's K/D canned food. My goodness. what a difference. She dances and licks her lips while I am preparing her bowl. I am thrilled that she is eating better and feeling better.
