Virbac Cat Advanced Kidney & Joint (K3) Dry Food 1.5 kg: Specialized Nutrition for Advanced Kidney and Joint Issues

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and degenerative joint diseases are progressive conditions, frequently seen in senior cats, that significantly diminish their quality of life. In the advanced stages of the disease, nutritional management plays a vital role in controlling symptoms, slowing disease progression, and enhancing your cat's comfort. Virbac Cat Advanced Kidney & Joint (K3) Dry Food 1.5 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the most specialized nutritional needs of cats with very advanced stages of CKD and those also experiencing severe joint issues.

Key Features & Benefits

• Maximum Kidney Health Support (Very Advanced Stage CKD):
  • Lowest Phosphorus Content: Features one of the lowest phosphorus levels available, minimizing the burden on the kidneys and helping to slow the progression of the disease. This is critical for managing the risk of hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphorus levels).
  • Very Low But High-Quality Protein: Contains very low levels of highly bioavailable proteins to minimize the accumulation of uremic toxins and reduce stress on the kidneys. This also helps preserve muscle mass.
  • Advanced Antioxidant Complex: Includes powerful antioxidants (Vitamin E, C) and other supportive nutrients to protect kidney cells from intense oxidative stress and help slow the progression of kidney damage.
• Comprehensive Joint and Mobility Support:
  • High Concentration of Joint Nutrients: For cats with severe joint degeneration, it contains high concentrations of chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA+DHA). These components help protect joint cartilage health, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain, significantly improving your cat's mobility and quality of life.
• Appetite Stimulation and Weight Maintenance: Anorexia and weight loss are very common in cats with advanced kidney disease. Its high palatability and energy density encourage food intake, which helps prevent weight loss and maintain ideal body condition.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to maximize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort for sensitive and weakened digestive systems.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your cat's essential nutritional needs, so additional supplements are generally not required.
