Support two age-related conditions with the singularly great recipe of Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care + Mobility Care with Chicken Dry Dog Food. Chronic kidney disease is common among older pets, as well as reduced mobility or cognitive function—which can significantly impact the quality of life for your pet. Luckily, nutrition can play a key role in managing both, which is why the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians developed this clinical nutrition. Not only can it support your dog’s kidney function, but it also helps to improve his mobility and increase his cognitive alertness and vitality. In fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen quality of life.
Key Benefits- Controlled phosphorous and low sodium help protect vital kidney and heart function.
- High levels of essentials amino acids for building muscle protein improve the ability to walk, run and jump in as little as 21 days.
- Enriched with antioxidants, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and therapeutic levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
- Formulated to increase vitality and alertness in older dogs, as well as improve joint function.
- Designed to stimulate the appetite and made in the USA with thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Overpriced
By Garfield on Oct 30, 2020
I do wish you could sell this a little more affordable to customers. With COVID and loss of jobs, this would be helpful to those that are trying to help their fur babies be well, be a little more reasonable. If there is anyway you can work with your customers that would be wonderful. Thanks.

Not a hit with my dog :(
By asil on Oct 29, 2020
Overpriced and my dog won't even eat it, he would pick out other additives and leave this kibble. On to the next brand.

Help as close as Chewy
By KidneyProblems on Aug 25, 2020
Due to miscommunication between me, my vet and Chewy a problem arose. After several phone calls, initiated by staff at Chewy, problem was resolved and my dog got the feed her vet said she needed. Great people to work with.

Did not like the taste refused to eat
By CorgiMixFloppyEars on Jun 28, 2020
I am sure this is a great product. but my dog who has kidney issues did not like this food. I tried pureeing it and mixing it with other food and using a syringe but he just absolutely refused. the smell is really bad to. he gags when he smells it. still trying to feed him with it but, still no success. refuses to touch it. Now I have a bag of food I cant use. I would recommend another brand or just make your own home cooked food. which is what i am doing. home cooked meals.

Roller Coaster
By patticake on Apr 15, 2020
Anyone who’s ever dealt with canine kidney disease, knows it is like a roller coaster ride. For a day or two they will eat really well, then won’t touch it. Fortunately Hills Rx, has four choices of KD. So far I’ve been able to switch it up with the variety of choices , to keep her eating.Thank you Hills!

Sadly, my dog won't eat this food!
By doglover3 on Jun 17, 2020
The first day my 16 yr old Papillon ate this with warm water like crazy. Since the first day, she will not eat a bite.

So far so good!
By Charlotte on Mar 6, 2020
We started this new food when it was discovered that our “new to us” 13yr old JRT was in the early stages of kidney failure. He took to this food instantly and the pieces are small enough that he can manage them with the few teeth he has left (he prefers kibble over wet food, no idea why!). We have him on some other holistic supplements as well as this food, so hard to say what combination is helping him, but we are seeing results!

Hill’s saved my dog’s kidneys!
By Sarah on Jan 18, 2020
Lucky’s kidney issues started when he turned 12. He even started peeing under himself when asleep, it didn’t look good at all. I thought that I will have to get used to that and bought him diapers etc. Vet prescribed us this diet. I swear I couldn’t believe how amazing it works! 13 years old now he doesn’t need kidney diet anymore, no diapers, urine tests completely normal!

Tasty Gravy!
By Clan on Dec 23, 2019
MisterMoo here with my thoughts on this food: I love it! Mama mixes it with warm water, so I get the water I need for my kidneys AND a yummmy gravy! I gobble it up and lick the bowl! Mama sez 4 stars instead of 5 cuz my energy level is a bit lacking compared to when I'm on some other foods. But overall, we are VERY happy! BONUS: my SENSITIVE TUMMY handles this food GREAT! We will update after my next trip to the Dogtor, to let you know how it's affecting my kidney values. So far (1 month), they haven't gotten worse, which is a good thing! We're hoping, with more time, they get BETTER!!

A nice change
By Esther on Nov 30, 2019
We have been feeding our boys Hill's for several years now, but our vet encouraged us to stop using the grain free diet due to heart health concerns. One of our boys has a corn allergy. This is the only grain food I have found that does not include corn or corn gluten meal. This food kibble size is also smaller than the other grain free food we have been using. I think this will be a good change for our aging boys...kidney care and joint care in one food...it is a win-win for us.
