Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Renal 3 Kg is a complete dietetic food for adult and elderly dogs formulated to support renal function in case of chronic or temporary renal failure. This product is specifically designed to reduce phosphorus intake and contain a limited amount of high-quality protein, essential for reducing the workload on compromised kidneys, while maintaining your dog's muscle mass.
The formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids, which help improve glomerular filtration, and with a complex of antioxidants that supports the immune system. Furthermore, the presence of a reduced protein content helps to minimize the formation of urinary toxins, common in conditions of renal failure.
The taste has been carefully studied to ensure high palatability, encouraging the dog to eat despite the possible reduction in appetite typical of this condition. The consistency of the food is suitable to facilitate chewing and digestion.
This food is an ideal choice for managing the nutrition of dogs with specific kidney needs, helping to improve their quality of life and manage the symptoms of kidney failure.
