Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Dry Dog Food

Our dog, who we have lovingly nicknamed "garbage can" since he eats everything, hates this food. I'm sure it's fine nutritionally, but since he refused to eat it once we fully transitioned him to it, it's a giant doorstop that he walks away from. While I understand all dogs have slightly different tastes, I've never had a dog refuse food like this. On a human note, it smells pretty bad to me -- so much so that I would actually dread opening the bag.

I had always equated Veternary diet formulas with “hospital food.” In other words, bland and wholly undesirable. But when I started feeding this to my 12 year old German Shepherd, my two other dogs found it yummier than their much fancier (and more expensive) diet. Maybe it’s the formulation and maybe it’s just because Chewy provides the freshest bags out there, it is a big hit with my dogs. While I ensure my 2 year old gets more protein in her diet, I have both of my geriatric dogs on this k/d kibble and associated canned formulas, exclusively. They love it!

My vet suggested this food when my 9 year old golden retriever was diagnosed with kidney disease. My dog loves it, and he has actually gained bak 10 pounds of the 15 he lost, when he was diagnosed. I love that Chewy has this available with approval from you vet.

MiAmore, my 10 year old Miki, was diagnosed with kidney disease. The vet. put her on this food. She and her half brother GusGus eat the same food. After they have their canned food where I place her medicine, I put out 1/2 cup, they weigh only 6-7 lbs., I leave this for them to eat through out the day. I am working on portion size because they love it so much that they are eating more and have gained a few ounces!

My Veterinarian denied the prescription the first time Chewy made the request. I assumed the order would be canceled without Vet approval but on the second month, to my surprise, I received delivery of the dog food. I don't need it because arrangements were made through my Vet to receive the prescription.

This dog food is a life saver. My older chihuahua mix was experiencing several severe symptoms (shaking, having uncontrollable accidents, staring blankly at walls, tail between her legs, not wanting to eat or move). We took her to the vet over and over and could not identify the exact cause. My husband and I were literally prepared for her to pass away. After noticing a tiny correlation between symptoms worsening when she ate certain things... I scoured the internet and found this food. We asked our vet if we should try it. As soon as we changed her food, our dog started getting better almost immediately. Now she’s gained her weight back, goes for daily walks, has no accidents, and prances This dog food is a life saver.

My Boxer was diagnosed with double kidney failure at 6 months ago. We were told to put her down by the specialist b/c she was born with really bad kidneys and needed new ones. Our family vet reccomend us try this food and see how she does before automatically putting her down. This food saved her life! She's 6 now and doing amazing as ever!!

Our dog inhales the food. He must enjoy the flavor. It is helping him regain the weight he lost. We like the food, but is pricey. Still it is cheaper here at chewy compared to other places. Chewy does have the biggest bag option which is nice,

i purchased this food elsewhere had no issue but on chewy purchased this time caused my dog to have diaherra for days until I stopped giving it to her. I am not sure if this is real stuff or what's the issue with food but very disappointed since cost me a lot.

Our old dog needed to be moved to a kidny disease dog food. Despite these times, it was delivered more quickly than expectd. Most important, he has switched to the new diet without any side effects.
