For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Kidney Disorders There are many causes for kidney disorders (also called kidney or renal disease) resulting in a variety of uncomfortable and even life threatening symptoms for your dog. Kidney disease can be either sudden (acute) or occur gradually (chronic). Prescription Diet Canine k/d has been specially formulated by veterinarians to help manage dogs with kidney disease. Kidney disease may develop because of other diseases or changes in health, breed/hereditary tendencies and even nutritional factors. Signs of kidney disease don't usually appear until more than two-thirds of kidney function are lost. Prescription Diet Canine k/d is clinically proven to extend and improve quality of life in dogs with kidney disease. ONLY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA - QLD, NSW, VIC AND ACT
