Hill's PRESCRIPTION DIET k/d Cat Food with Chicken is a complete dietetic pet food for support of renal function in case of chronic or temporary renal insufficiency in adult cats. This food has a low level of phosphorus and a restricted level of protein but of high quality.

When cats have damage to kidney tissues, the kidneys cannot perform as well as before. The condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed. Dietetic 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.
