The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Dry 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 and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- 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.

One of our greyhounds has first stage kidney failure. She had been eating her regular food and losing more and more weight. She was eating everything she could get into her body and was still starving to death. Once we had a solid diagnosis from blood work, our Vet recommended this food along with the canned. She began eating and is now gaining some of the weight back. She likes it, and is able to process the proteins that were previously lost in her urine. We mixed with regular food to start for about 5 days and she's been eating it since. If your dog is unfortunate enough to have kidney problems, this is the food for them! We have our girl back and that is priceless.

My Yorkie loves the dry food thank goodness. I was so afraid he wouldn't. He's 10 1/2yrs old and weighs 7.5lbs. So far he's staying there with this dog food and some boiled chicken, peas, carrots and green beans to supplement for variety since he was already used to eating them. I'm hoping this will help him live a nice long life.

Chewy kept following up with my vet to get the script for this food. I was impressed with their communication with me and with the vets office. Thankful - since I was unable to get to vets office to pick up - I'll be using Chewy. Much more convenient and super nice people to deal with!

When my father passed recently I took in his 15-year-old Dachshund. She is current having kidney function problems. Vet recommended this and she loves it. I don't know how much longer she'll be with us but I'm glad she enjoys the food! Yes, she's wearing a sweater because she moved from Florida to Kentucky! LOL.

My 13 year old dog just started this food, too, and I was afraid she would not eat it as she is not food motivated. She eats it and has been cleaning her bowl which is a good sign she likes it just fine. I will continue to buy since her blood work indicates some kidney failure is just starting.

My lab mix will eat anything, even her pills, when I serve this for her meal she just walks away. Original wanted to try the Blue Buffalo Kidney product but my vet was worried about the 'no grain' receipt. Going to have to go back to Blue!

My dog has been on this prescription dog food for the past 6 months and he has been stable in stage 1 kidney disease. He loves the kibble and it's just the right size for him (a Cavalier). Chewy.com is a wonderful retailer; great service, speedy delivery and good prices.

Me Muppet had blood work and there were issues with his kidneys! :( our trusted vet recommended this food (along with Avid Amin supplement) and the next blood test came back normal!!! :)). It is pricey and no way of getting around it but I’m so grateful for a healthy pooch! And just through food and supplement! No medicines or more test- or worse. Best thing is I have my muppet- looking great!

We didn’t try the dog food but our lab’s been eating it for about a year and she seems happy with it. ;) We love the convenience of having it delivered right to our door. Thank you for making the ordering process so simple.

My old fella is on k/d for the rest of his life after enjoying many dietary indiscretions over his 12 years. The vet said not to feel guilty for buying from Chewy instead of the animal hospital because their price is much higher!
