When dogs have damage to kidney tissues, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before, like filtering and reabsorbing nutrients. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed. Therapeutic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively. Dogs with decreased kidney function may experience loss of appetite and their food intake might decline.

Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Hill's Prescription Diet k/d clinical nutrition with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to activate the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function and is complete and balanced nutrition for long-term kidney care. In fact, Prescription Diet k/d has clinically proven nutrition to improve & lengthen quality of life.

This Prescription Diet k/d Starter Kit has a variety of flavors and textures of dry & wet food that enables your dog to taste multiple foods in one convenient box. You can use it as a trial starter kit for your dog to sample all the k/d options or, if you are currently managing your dog's kidney condition, this kit can be an easy way to try some new varieties to entice even the pickiest of eaters.

Includes one each k/d Chicken dry 5.25 oz bag, k/d Lamb dry 5.25 oz bag, k/d Chicken minced 13 oz can and k/d Lamb minced 13 oz can; and two each k/d Chicken & Vegetable stew 5.5 oz cans and Beef & Vegetable Stew 5.5 oz cans.
