Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Early Support for Cats

Groundbreaking Nutrition for Kidney Health

Like humans, felines need their kidneys in tip-top shape, and Hill's k/d was thoughtfully crafted to protect them. Controlled levels of phosphorous and sodium help protect kidney function while omega-3 fatty acids help fight inflammation. Specially made for cats with the first stage of kidney disease, it gives your kitty the care she needs for better tomorrows.

Hill's alliance with veterinarians puts them in a position to find a nutrition recommendation for your pet, no matter what health issue your pet is facing.

Formulated by Veterinarians

Hill's Prescription Diet started with a veterinarian's belief that some health issues could be managed through nutrition. What began as a theory has now been proven through extensive research by a team of over 220 vets, PhD nutritionists and food scientists. The results can be seen in Hill's Prescription Diet therapeutic pet foods.

Providing a food that delivers exactly what it says it does is Hill's number one priority. In fact, they perform over five million safety and quality checks every year. They've established relationships with trusted suppliers and will only accept ingredients that meet stringent standards.

The Taste Factor

Renal medicated food for cat

We were so greatful for the quick delivery our cat Snow has hyperthyroid disease and kidney disease. Sadly she refuses to eat the medicated food. She has gone from 12+ Pounds to 5 1/2 pounds greatest loss of weight the last month. We plan to get food to someone who has a cat needing this food. We opened it and tried to get her to eat a very small amount she refused Thank you for your quick response. Our Snow will be crossing the rainbow bridge soon

Recommended by vet one cat loves it one doesn't

I have 2 cats in early renal failure. My vet felt that this particular diet would be better for them as they don't need a ton of support yet (very thankful for that). My chow hound cat loves it. My other cat, who won't eat the prior renal diet anyway gave me look like: What exactly are you trying to pull lady! This isn't edible (he's VERY picky). So I'll settle for one out of two!

much better

I’m so glad I made the switch to this one!! Yoda eats again and is finally gaining some weight back. He’s 14 and I have been managing his disease since 2017 with their canned food but he does like a little bit of dry. My cat was originally on Royal canin early renal but they changed the ingredients and first one is corn, yuck! But science diet has chicken listed first so I feel much better offering this and he eats with gusto now. I’m sticking with this brand!

Better Than You Would Expect

My vet recommended this for my 17 year old kitty based on blood tests that indicated her kidneys are in decline. She actually seems to prefer this over the "Science Diet" she was eating before.

Everyone likes this kibble....

So far, this is a hit with my early stage CKD kitties. I am transitioning very slowly so they don't spit up, as we all know how delicate their digestion is. I was going to buy the competitor kidney formula (also from Chewy), but their main ingredient was mussels which did not thrill me. This one is chicken.
