Hill's k/d formula includes ingredients selected to support kidney function, with a controlled content of proteins and minerals important to reduce the load on the kidneys.
Therapeutic Indications
Hill's k/d feline small can pieces 156 g is indicated for the nutritional treatment of cats with chronic renal failure or kidney disease. This product is designed to support kidney function and improve the quality of life in cats suffering from kidney diseases of varying severity, thanks to a specific nutritional profile that limits the progression of kidney damage.
Controlling protein in the diet is essential to reduce the accumulation of toxic substances resulting from protein metabolism that can aggravate kidney health. Furthermore, the reduction of phosphorus helps prevent secondary complications related to kidney disease, promoting a better mineral balance in the blood and bones.
This wet food can therefore also be used as part of an overall therapeutic regime, in combination with any pharmacological therapies prescribed by the veterinarian, to slow down the progression of the disease and alleviate related symptoms. The food is also suitable for cats with loss of appetite or chewing difficulties, thanks to the tender consistency of the pieces, which facilitates food intake.
The diet is designed to provide an optimal balance of essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and improve endothelial function, key elements in supporting kidney health.
Composition
The formulation of Hill's k/d feline small can pieces 156 g is based on high quality ingredients carefully balanced to guarantee high nutritional value and ease of digestion. The protein content is moderate and derived from selected sources to help reduce the renal load, accompanied by careful control of minerals such as phosphorus and sodium.
Among the main ingredients there are carefully selected meats and animal derivatives, cereals, by-products of vegetable origin and vegetable oils, enriched with vitamins, minerals and antioxidant agents to support the cat's immune system and general health.
The presence of essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 promotes the anti-inflammatory effect and maintenance of the skin barrier, while the formula is free of irritating or exciting ingredients that could compromise digestive tolerance in subjects with kidney disease.
The product is balanced to offer an adequate energy intake for cats with reduced levels of activity and appetite, without exceeding nutrients that can aggravate kidney function, such as phosphorus and high quality proteins limited in quantity. The balance of nutritional elements thus guarantees an optimal supply of essential nutrients to maintain the cat's muscle mass and vitality.
Contraindications
Hill's k/d feline small can of pieces 156 g must not be used as a sole food in cats without kidney problems or in the absence of specific veterinary indications. The inappropriate use of a protein and mineral restricted diet can cause nutritional imbalances and deficiencies, especially in healthy or growing individuals.
Use in growing kittens, pregnant or breastfeeding cats is contraindicated, as the nutritional needs of these conditions are different and require a higher and more specific protein and mineral intake.
