Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Canine

After my 13 y.o. kelpie was diagnosed w early stage renal insufficiency (1 month ago), I immediately put her onto the k/d diet (canned & dry). It's turned around her excess drinking & urinating in under a week (the only symptoms she had at this stage). It looks pretty ordinary, but she was never a fussy eater anyway & it doesn't smell like most canned dog food (a real bonus for me!). She's woofs it down with gusto!

It's not cheap, but then I've a duty of care to my friend & it works out about $5/day - not too bad & cheaper than children!
Doesn't smell! And it works!!

A great pet food, specially made to help dogs with kidney disease. It gives them an extra lease on life. And it works, I have seen so many dogs who thrive on this food. It is slightly more expensive, but it is a specialist pet food and it really does improve the animals health. Highly recomended by veterinarians aswell.
Great for dogs with kidney problems.

Even though the textue is some what rubbery what I have found to work so that it mushes like regular canned food is that I heat it in the microwave for about 15 sec for a third of a can. I sometimes add a tablespoon of either chicken broth or vegetable broth....but ever since I started to heat it up she eats just fine, and on top of this she also has meds mixed into it.
That it is formulated to help with my dogs terrible kidney issue
texture is horrible but I have found a way to work with it

I am a vet nurse and have seen many dogs improve their condition immensely once changing their diet to k/d. However it isnt very appealing and an introduction plan of the new food should be formulated with veterinary staff to ensure its success. Many kidney compromised pets are on medication but the big improvement is seen once the diet is changed. I would highly reccommend this product to any owner looking to improve their unwell pets quality of life
Specifically designed to assist in the management of kidney disease in dogs.
Hard to buy in trial sized quantities. Doesnt look all that appetising

I purchased the Canine canned kidney food after my dog was diagnosed with kidney disease. She would not touch this food and I dont blame her! The food is a horrible pale grey colour which has a consistency similar to rubber! It is so bad you can't even squash it with a fork and just scooping it out of the can is rediculous. I try everything I could to get my dog to eat this as regular dog food was making her ill but she would not have any part of it. They could not have made the food with a worse texture if they tried

Canned version has a very strange texture and my dog would not eat it
