The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Dry Dog Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet's life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney's role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your dog's kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

My dog was not a fan
By Great on Nov 9, 2021
My 3 year old Boston Terrier was forced to go on a renal diet for some kidney related issues so my vet recommended Hills K/D. I could not get him to eat the kibble or 2 different types of the canned. He turned his nose up to it and walked away from the bowl every time I tried to feed it to him. He is normally a good eating but hated this food.

Very expensive
By Shabre on Nov 16, 2021
Good dog food for our dog with kidney disease. However, we paid twice the amount than our vet charges, the only reason we purchased on Chewys is our vet was out of stock at the time. Good packaging and qucik delivery are the positive points I'd give chewys.

Dogs won't eat it
By Prescriptions on Nov 11, 2021
Unfortunately, after trying for three days to get both of the dogs to eat, neither dog would go anywhere near this food. Canned or kibble does not make a difference. I will be donating it back to the veterinary office that recommended it to me.

Good results with this product
By Cherie on Sep 29, 2021
My animal Brutus has been on this for years and he has not had any additional issues with his health. The easy auto ship and the ability to change the ship date is wonderful. Prior to using Chewy I had to order from my vet and take the time to go pick it up. Chewy have never let me down. Excellent customer service. Keep up the good work. I highly recommend.

My dog is super picky and I was really worried that he would not like it. What a surprise when he went straight to his bowl and gobbled it up. What a relief!
