Hill’s kidney care for dogs

Kidney care 

Hill’s k/d helps dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by reducing the kidneys’ workload and supporting their function through a special diet. It does this by lowering phosphorus and sodium, using high-quality, limited protein, and including antioxidants and other ingredients to support kidney health and improve quality of life. The food also includes features like an Enhanced Appetite Trigger to encourage eating, which is crucial for dogs with CKD.

How k/d works to support kidney function

Restricts phosphorus and sodium:

  • The food is formulated with low levels of phosphorus and sodium, which reduces the burden on the kidneys.

Manages protein intake:

  • It uses a controlled amount of high-quality protein to provide essential amino acids while limiting the waste products that the kidneys must process.

Includes antioxidants:

  • A higher level of antioxidants helps to neutralize harmful free radicals and support the immune system.

Uses ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense:

  • This blend of prebiotics and betaine nourishes the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function and reduce the production of toxins.

Supports muscle mass:

  • This blend of prebiotics and betaine nourishes the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function and reduce the production of toxins.

How k/d addresses symptoms of CKD

Improves appetite

  • An Enhanced Appetite Trigger is clinically proven to stimulate appetite and increase food intake, which is often decreased in dogs with kidney disease.

Supports mobility

  • The k/d + Mobility formula is designed to improve a dog’s ability to run, walk, and jump.

Helps with urinary health

  • The S+OXSHIELD formula helps create a urinary environment that reduces the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.

Important considerations

  • k/d is a therapeutic diet that should be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.
  • The food is designed to slow the progression of the disease, not cure it, as kidney damage is often irreversible.
  • Always consult your veterinarian to determine the most appropriate feeding plan for your dog, as their specific needs may change.
