Virbac Cat Early Kidney Care Pouch Chunks in Gravy (K1) Wet Cat Food 85g: Delicious and Moist Support for Early Kidney Health

Early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats can arise with age or due to genetic predispositions and is a progressive illness. At this stage, proper nutritional management is vital to slow disease progression, reduce the burden on the kidneys, and improve your cat's quality of life. Increasing water intake is especially crucial for cats with kidney disease. Virbac Cat Early Kidney Care Pouch Chunks in Gravy (K1) Wet Cat Food 85g is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the specific nutritional needs of cats diagnosed with early-stage CKD and to encourage increased water consumption.

Key Features & Benefits

• Kidney Health Support (Early Stage CKD):
  • Controlled Protein and Phosphorus: Contains optimally low phosphorus content and high-quality, yet controlled protein levels to reduce the burden on the kidneys. This helps preserve kidney function and supports the reduction of uremic toxin buildup.
  • Antioxidant Complex: Includes antioxidants (Vitamin E, C) to protect kidney cells from oxidative stress and help slow the progression of kidney damage.
• Hydration Support with High Moisture Content: This wet food, featuring chunks in gravy, has approximately 80% moisture content. This significantly increases your cat's daily water intake, aiding more effective kidney function and flushing of the urinary tract.
• Appetite Stimulation and Palatability: Anorexia is a common issue in cats with kidney disease. This food is highly palatable and has an appetizing aroma that cats love, which encourages food intake and helps prevent nutritional deficiencies.
• Balanced Mineral and Vitamin Content: While supporting kidney health, it provides all the necessary vitamins and minerals in a balanced way for your cat's overall well-being.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to maximize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort.
• 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.
