Hills Prescription Diet k/d

Kidney disease doesn't just affect humans. Your cat or dog can develop kidney disease. It can come on suddenly or be a progressive chronic concern. Many dogs are prescribed Hills Prescription Diet k/d formula to promote renal health. What causes renal or kidney disease? Your veterinarian may consider the age of your pet as a factor. Viral or bacterial infections, parasites, cancer or autoimmune diseases can also cause it. It may even be something your pup inherited.

What are some of the signs to watch for? Some signs may point to other disorders but kidney disease usually involves urinary changes that range from frequent urination to lack of urination or blood in the urine.

If you suspect your dog or cat may have kidney disease, it's best to take them to the veterinarian as soon as possible. The Hills Prescription Diet k/d formula is specially designed for pets with kidney disease. It targets urine PH to keep alkalinity higher and has reduced protein levels.

The Hills Prescription diet feline c/d formulation targets urinary tract disease. Urinary tract disease has many of the same symptoms of kidney disease, like frequent urination and blood in the urine.

Vets tell us that smaller breeds of dogs are more susceptible as well as cats that are over one year old. What happens is crystals or stones, called struvites and oxalates develop in the urinary tract. The Hills Prescription diet feline c/d helps dissolve those crystals or stones by lowering magnesium levels and increasing PH alkalinity like with k/d formula.
