Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Early Support Kidney Care Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food, 4 lbs.
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
When cats 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, and taking action early can be beneficial. Therapeutic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively. Cats 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 Early Support clinical nutrition for early protection of a cat's vital kidney function and to encourage eating for strength and energy. It's formulated with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to activate the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function. This dry food is made with chicken and has an irresistible taste that cats love.
- - Early support of vital kidney function by avoiding excess phosphorus and sodium, and enriched with omega-3 fatty acids
- - Formulated with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to activate the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function
- - Encourages eating for energy and vitality with Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) for cats

Questions
Is there a grain-free option? One of my cats needs the kidney support, but another has a gluten allergy.
- They think cats eat corn.....don['t have a clue why......I tried to get this same question answered by my Vet and she wouldn't answer it either. To me, I don't understand why anyone would feed corn to a cat. Do they eat it in the wild? No way. So how it it helpful for a cat with kidney issues? My question exactly.
Helpful?
What is in the ingredients that require a prescription????
- Hmmm...not surprising they won't answer your question directly. I can't even get my Vet to answer why my cat needs to eat corn instead of meat for kidney issues...I guess it's a "need to know" basis or "you aren't a medical doctor so, you don't need to know". Frustrates me too. Good luck.

I feed my cat Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Early Support Chicken Canned Cat Food, and order it from chewy.com, but the are out of stock and vet doesn't carry it. She has only 10 cans left. Is there any other place to get this food quickly?
My 16 yr old Persian cat was recently diagnosed w/kidney disease. Doc prescribed Hill's Kidney Care. I've been trying to give the canned version for the first time ever because of dehydration. She eats some, but not enough, & has dropped from her usual 7 1/2 lbs to about 5 1/2 lbs. She licks & licks, but it takes forever for her to get it in. She also seems unable to pick up the dry version because of it's shape & size and her flat face. What can I do to get her to eat enough?
My 15 yr old Maine Coon cat is beginning to have a little kidney “aging” according to my vet. “His kidney numbers were a little off - not bad”. He suggested a prescription food - KD - my cat will NOT eat it - 4 days now. He had been on Putin’s Pro Plan - prime plus - which he loved! Can you recommend a dry food with less protein and potassium. - which my vet says hinders the kidneys. Thank you in advance.
my 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with early stages of kidney disease. i had her eating the dry food from Hills K/D and she was ok with that. Then i moved her to the wet food because she stopped eating the dry. now she’ll eat the wet food for a day or so and then refuses. the only food she never misses a meal is fancy feast pate and blue buffalo healthy gourmet pate. i know commercial food isn’t great, but are either of these foods near the percentile a kidney cat needs?
One of our male cats recdently had a blockage and we had to take him to emergency. We got there in the nick of time, he was going into kidney failure! Naturally he now has to be on special prescription food. The Hill's c/d he doesn't like at all. The Royal Canin he tolerates but will hardly eat it. I always try to mix something else in but it's just a chore to get him to eat now and the poor guy is hungry. He does love Royal Canin's dry SO food and treats. What else can I feed him?
Hi Tony’s recent labs show a hi normal SDMA of 13 but my vet is ok with his other kidney values. She has recommended a newly available hills rx food k/d early support. Would he benefit more from a regular hills k/d full renal diet. Thanks!
My male cat is almost 14. I know he is starting kidney problems due to the extra water he drinks at this point. and a bit thinner. lots of energy still. I read they need at least 50% protein, I give him wet and dry which i know is not good, but lots of wet and freeze dried chicken too, vit with dig enzymes. Can you suggest the best Wet high protein food and anything else from Petco?
My cat had annual blood work done and was diagnosed with SLIGHT increase in kidney values. The vet recommended that I put her on some sort of kidney diet food(Royal Canine or Hills Science Diet) She normally eats Rachael Ray Nutrish dry, and Special Kitty canned. I was looking at the ingredients in the food brands the vet recommended and they have a lot of grains and fillers. I was thinking to keep the foods I normally use for her and buy some sort of kidney support supplement instead. Thoughts?
What is a good over the counter food dry and wet to give my 9 yr old cat to prevent renal disease?
My dog a few weeks ago she vomited so I gave her chicken n rice with Prescription Hills K/D she she got better now she wants it every time...now she wont eat without! I had no ideal chicken can cause her functions to get high...so I Changed her to Royal Canin exclusive Renal in a can its its like thick Pate' so I add water to soften it up! she eats it now but has not poops day 2. I'm worried now
Is Purina Proplan wet food ok for my cat, he has stage 2 kidney disease and pancreatitis?
Hi. tony eats Rx hills kd chicken kidney diet but in searching for different foods that I hide his daily meds in, i always look for a low dry matter percentage of protein and I’m finding that most senior 7+ diets at the pet store have more dry matter percentage of protein than the age 1-6 diets. Shouldn’t the 7+ diets be lower in protein for older cats with aging kidneys? am I correct in looking at dry matter percentage of protein when considering the kidneys? Thx!
