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 rx@chewy.com and we'll get your order out right away.

So my old man Golden Retriever mix was diagnosed with early stages of Kidney disease. So we were told to switch him over to a Kidney diet and the vet recommended this brand. My boy has always been VERY picky. He also had pancreatitis last year and had a very sensitive stomach and had to switch to cooked chicken, rice and sweet potatoes. So switching back to dog food was scary, 1. Worried he wouldn't eat it and 2. Scared it would make him sick. He has now been on it for two weeks and LOVES it. Add some hot water to make a gravy on it and add some salmon oil on top and he scarfs it. On top of it, no diarrhea and not one episode of nausea. HIGHLY recommend this food!!

I was sad when my dog started having kidney issues and we had to switch his food, but my dog loves his k/d dry and wet food mixed! And his BUN and Creatinine have been great since his Acute Kidney Injury. My dog has also had issues with weight gain in the past and I was worried with how much food my vet recommended, but his weight has remained stable. And Chewy was absolutely wonderful in refunding the price of his old food that we had just bought, and then let us donate it to a shelter. By far, the most moral company! I wish other companies would follow in their lead.

My dog was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was so worried about him liking the taste of the food that was going to be best for his health (we all know how much we want the best for our babies in all aspects) but he LOVES this food. I keep enough out for about two weeks worth of food and freeze the rest (it keeps it fresh, trust me! Best advice from my vet). It made the tradgey of the kidney disease diagnosis easier knowing he loves what he eats and is going to keep him as healthy as he can be.

My 13 year old dog has kidney issues and our vet recommended this food. It has a very strong smelling unpleasant odor unlike any dog food we have purchased. My dog, who is usually a food hound, did not like it from the start but would reluctantly eat some, then refused it all together. I believe this is a very good brand, it just didn't work for our dog. I found another kidney care food (which does not have an odor) on Chewy for her and she loves it. Chewy was understanding and fantastic and refunded us the money for this food and we have taken it to a shelter.

Initially, for about 2 weeks, my dog ate this. Now, he doesn’t like it. So far we are wetting it and mixing in a little bit of tuna or bacon grease to get him to eat it. He is a Schipperke and seems to be maintaining his weight, but it is additional work to fix his food. Any suggestions?

I’m very satisfied with this prescription kidney diet kibble. My dog loves it and does very well with it. She seems healthier and happier, as I am sure that it is easier on her system than the high quality, but hard to digest food that she was used to. Her kidney numbers went up in recent blood tests and her Vet wisely prescribed it. She is 12 1/2 years old and this food is much better for her at this stage of her life.

Switched to this food after my vet strongly recommend it. My 13 and a half year old pitbull was recently diagnosed with kidney problems and the vet recommended a low protein diet for her. She had been drinking a lot of water and having accidents in the house if we didn't let her out every couple of hours. Since switching to this food (and making a couple of other dietary changes) about two weeks ago she seems to be drinking slightly less and has only had a couple of accidents as opposed to having one almost daily. She doesn't seem to like the taste of the food as much as her old brand but she is getting used to it and will finish all of it most nights.

Was hoping my dog would like this, but she would hardly touch it even when mixed with wet food! It has a very strong smell/odor. Funny enough, my cat loved the food and would sneak bites of it. Maybe better for cats, but my dog was not a fan.

I found an older dog and discovered he had several health issues. Once he had his visit to the vet, we discovered he was having kidney issues. This food recommended by the vet has turned this old boy around. He is feeling better, and looking better! And the price is just right for my pocket.
