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.

Smells awful
By Chicken on Aug 20, 2021
Soooo. My dog went into kidney failure and this is what we were prescribed. When i opened the bag, the smell was atrocious. I'm a retired nurse and this smell hit me. I went through the bag and didnt see any signs of mold. The beef does not smell like this. This is not a bad review on Chewy. This review is about the bag food only. Chewy is an amazing company.

Hey Mikey, She Likes It !!!
By Angel on Jul 15, 2021
My precious Angel was recently diagnosed with early onset kidney disease, and her apatite wasn't what it should be, and so the Vet recommended my choice of 3 different prescription diet dog foods for her. We decided on Hill's K/D Kidney Care. We went online and set up an account with Chewy, gave the Vet's info., and ordered the food. The process was painless and easy to understand. Chewy took care of contacting the Vet for the prescription authorization, and the product was delivered to our door in just a few short days. The best part of this story is that when we gave the very first serving of the food to Angel, SHE GOBBLED IT UP RIGHT AWAY, and she's now eating regularly My precious Angel was recently diagnosed with early onset kidney disease, and her apatite wasn't what it should be, and so the Vet recommended my choice of 3 different prescription diet dog foods for her.

Vet prescribed
By Tigerwhite on Aug 6, 2021
My 12 year old terrier mix had slightly elevated kidney values at her annual exam. Due to this, and her age, my vet recommended switching her to this food. I have a strong preference to feed a diet free of corn, wheat, and soy. Unfortunately Hills KD doesn't fit in this category, but if it keeps her kidneys healthier that's what matters.. She does like the taste, which is always important.

Picky dog likes it!
By JenM on Aug 20, 2021
My dog was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and we were told to put him on a low protein diet. He has always been a picky eater and we tried a different k/d food at first but he was not a fan. We mix this with the k/d canned food and he gobbles it up now!

By macy on Aug 16, 2021

Picky Small Dog
By TKRoss on Jul 9, 2021
I rolled the dice on this food because my Boston was already gobbling down KD canned food. I thought adding this dry KD to it would help him to gain some needed weight. After a week or so My Reggie turned his nose up at the KD mixture and refused to eat. Back to KD canned only he is eating again. Slowly I'll be adding more canned food as to get him up to a healthy weight.

Puppy loves the taste!
By Poppy on Jul 17, 2021
My puppy was diagnosed with a congenital kidney disease at 7 months old. She barely tolerated her puppy food and I was nervous about having to switch her to a new food. To my surprise she LOVES this food, she eats so much better and her kidney function has improved since we started her on it. I also love the huge size of the bag. I highly recommend!

Yummy dry food
By MomOfOreo on Jun 23, 2021
Oreo isn’t the only one who loves his new food. Unfortunately it’s prescription food so his sister dog and cat siblings cannot eat it, but they try so hard to sneak kibbles away from him. I am happy he eats it, because prior to this prescription he wouldn’t eat dry food at all! As the poop picker upper, I have noticed his stools are more firm and he doesn’t have as many indoor potty on the pad incidents. He is still drinking a lot of water, so I’ll have to let his vet know that. We shall see what month two brings us.

They love it
By natwd on Sep 5, 2021
My girls are very picky eaters so I was happy that they both liked this food. They are even a little more active since they have been on this new food.

After a kidney diet was prescribed for my dog, I was glad to discover that he liked this food right away. Later, I found that ordering prescription food from Chewy was easy--just scan in a copy of the prescription!
