Hill's® Prescription Diet®
g/d® Canine Early Cardiac-Healthy Aging

For the nutritional support of senior dogs.
As dogs age, they may require food designed to help reduce nutrient excesses that could be harmful to their system. For example, high levels of sodium, phosphorus and protein can cause increased workload in the kidneys and heart.
Kidneys are very important to the health of your dogs because they remove waste substances from the blood and maintain the normal balance of fluid and minerals within the body. Once kidney damage occurs, the consequences are usually irreversible.
The heart is the most important organ in you pet's body, and factors such as age or weight may affect its function. Poor heart health can affect your dog's lifestyle and mood.
Because the food your dog eats plays an important role in his or her overall health and well-being, at Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to support your older dog's kidneys and heart for overall health.

Important Feeding Information

Cover and refrigerate unused portion.
These amounts are a starting point only. Your dog may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your dog's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
Prescription Diet® formulas are available in a wide variety of dry foods and treats for your dog's unique needs, and canned foods with delicious flavors your dog will love. Supplementation with other foods or treats is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with dry food and treats, decrease the amount of canned food to avoid overfeeding.
Keep fresh water available at all times!
For best results, have your veterinarian monitor your dog's condition.

Hill's® Prescription Diet® g/d® Canine Early Cardiac-Healthy Aging 5 5 1 1

A complete turnaround for my senior rescue I adopted a senior mini dachshund in July 2011. She had been picked up roaming the streets, and had obviously been severely neglected for some time. Her coat was dry, dull, and thin. Both ears had the texture of dried leather with large areas of hair missing at the edges. She also suffered from severe periodontal disease, as well as a giardia infection. My veterinarian, who is wonderful and has helped me restore the health of several neglected seniors I've adopted over the years, started her on g/d (the wet formula because we extracted all but two of her teeth and performed 4 gum grafts to repair her mouth). She happily gobbled it up without hesitation, and within days her total transformation began. Today she is happy and very spry, with a beautiful glossy coat and sparkling eyes. Her skin and ears are soft and supple, and the hair has grown back, even filling in a bit on the damaged edges of her ears. A great veterinarian - and Hill's Prescription Diets - the perfect combination for restoring and/or maintaining the health of your dog! November 20, 2012
