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.
This product requires a veterinary prescription. Simply provide your vet's information during checkout and we'll follow up to confirm the prescription, or email a copy of your prescription to vetdiet@chewy.com and we'll get your order out right away.

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!

My pup had to be on the K/D prescription diet due to kidney failure. His vet said this is one of the best brands that he could have. He had to have it for life. He’s a picky eater, so we weren’t sure if he’d enjoy it. Well, he loved it!!! He would be excited when we’d open the cans or dry food. The quality is awesome and the prices from Chewy.com are unbeatable. We always purchased the biggest bag they have and the cans so he has a variety. I’m so glad we tried it.

My Coby was diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of 2. His brother died of kidney failure which caused us to have Coby tested. He has been on this diet since. His protein levels have remained pretty stable.

My old senior dog developed kidney disease and consequently had leakage. This food was a miracle for her. It not only stopped the leakage, but she eats heartily now and has even regained a little of her pre-illness weight. Even though it’s extremely expensive, she will get it as long as necessary.

VERY PRICEY but my 15yo rescue blonde lab/boxer mix is in beginning stages of kidney disease/failure so I've just switched her to this (and the k/d canned) from Hill's Science Diet Large Breed; thankfully she loves it! I joked with vet that for the price I could be feeding her steak twice a day and she said, "yes, but it wouldn't be nearly as good for her"! ;)

Our dog needs this special diet due to chronic kidney failure and the price here is more affordable than purchasing it through our vet. Our vet is also a 30 minute drive away, so having it delivered is a time-saver. Our dog was previously on a grain-free diet, but she has tolerated this food well and her activity level and coat health have improved since making the switch (she is 13 and 1/2 and in late stages of kidney failure).

My dog was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Chewy verified her RX and delivered quickly, of which I’m appreciative. She had no difficulty transitioning to this food.

I am sooo PICKY! I won't eat anything my owner feeds me that resembles "good for me" food. Science Hill Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Dry Dog Food has been a hit. I love it! Totally recommend the Science Hill k/d chicken and beef stews, too. RayRay

My 15 year old husky mix was diagnosed with early kidney disease 3 years ago. She has been eating this diet, which she loves, and her kidney values have remained about the same.

Arrakis has early onset kidney disease, so my options for feeding him are few. I tried Royal Canin, but he only ate it for about two weeks before he began refusing it. I switched to this in the hope that it would be better received. It hasn't been. He ate this for about two weeks as well and has began refusing it too. Both are chicken based, and I think he has issues with chicken. I'd like to try other proteins, such as lamb, or fish, but Chewy only carries the 8lb bag of lamb, and nothing for fish. My boy is a 75lb husky mix and a bag that small won't work for me. I may have to order through my vet instead, at greater cost.
