Surprising benefit

After losing his long-term adopted brother in 2025, and then tearing his cruciate ligament in his knee, we noticed that Taz didn't seem to enjoy the things he used to do for most of his life. Specifically, all his life, Taz loved to suck on blankets for hours at a time. When he was DX'd with early stage kidney disease, late in 2025, the vet suggested we buy KD diet and start a few pain meds and some probiotics. The KD food was ordered several weeks after the pain med and probiotic regiment started, just before the end of the year... Taz loves it as much as he loves all food. But as we've transitioned from his old diet to his new one, we started seeing him sucking his blankets again, which to us seems a very positive response that he hadn't done in about a year. Taz loves the Hills KD food. However, transitioning to this food from the his mature formula diet does require attention to how much he can be given... because the KD diet has significantly more calories in it than his prior diet. Stools are solid and well-formed. Good overall results so far!

Since starting this for my senior corgi Dexter, recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, he is showing less symptoms and feeling much better. However, be patient with the transition. It took several meals before he would eat more than a couple bites at time. The vet warned us this would happen beforehand but it has been worth it seeing him act like himself again.

Box shipped and arrived immediately after veterinary approval. My dog went right to his bowl and ate the KD diet food (a mix of wet canned beef and this dry lamb variety) and started eating eagerly. This was after weeks of making mixed foods from scratch and having him sometimes want it and sometimes not. So far he has been consistently hungry for it, showing no signs of pickyness.

Vet recommended

The dog food looks better than other brands but I personally like bigger pieces for our big dogs. They tend to swollen the small pieces whole and sometimes get choked

The dog food looks better than other brands but I personally like bigger pieces for our big dogs. They tend to swollen the small pieces whole and sometimes get choked. As for flavor, my dog that needs the kidney recipe doesn't seem to like it very much. I've been trying all different toppers and broths. Now my other dogs love it.

Shipping

My dog loves the food, but once the vet approved the request for the food the shipping was really great really fast. I expected it tobe a little bit longer.

My elderly dog had mildly elevated kidney values, our vet suggested k/d and her 6 month follow up lab work had everything back in normal range. Chewy took the time

My elderly dog had mildly elevated kidney values, our vet suggested k/d and her 6 month follow up lab work had everything back in normal range. Chewy took the time to confirm the prescription for me, I didn’t have to send them a script. So easy!

Lamb flavor

As a senior little lady bunni gets tired of the same flavor food often. And at least with hills k/d she can have a different flavor now and again.
