Virbac CAT KIDNEY & JOINT Loaf (K2) Wet Cat Food 85g: Delicious Support for Advanced Kidney and Joint Issues

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and degenerative joint diseases in cats are progressive conditions, especially common with age, that significantly impact their quality of life. In the advanced stages of the disease, proper nutrition is vital for alleviating symptoms, slowing disease progression, and enhancing your cat's comfort. Anorexia and dehydration can be major concerns during this period. Virbac CAT KIDNEY & JOINT Loaf (K2) Wet Cat Food 85g is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the specific nutritional needs of cats with advanced stages of CKD and those also experiencing joint issues.

Key Features & Benefits

• Kidney Health Support (Advanced Stage CKD):
  • Very Low Phosphorus Content: Phosphorus content is significantly reduced to maximally lessen the burden on the kidneys and help slow further deterioration of kidney function.
  • Controlled and High-Quality Protein: Contains low levels of highly bioavailable protein to minimize the accumulation of uremic toxins and reduce stress on the kidneys. This also helps preserve muscle mass.
  • Antioxidant Complex: Includes powerful antioxidants (Vitamin E, C) to protect kidney cells from oxidative stress and help slow the progression of kidney damage.
• Comprehensive Joint and Mobility Support:
  • Advanced Joint Nutrients: Contains high concentrations of ingredients like chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA) to support joint cartilage health, help reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. This significantly enhances your cat's mobility and quality of life.
• Hydration Support with High Moisture Content: This loaf-textured wet food has approximately 80% moisture content. This significantly increases your cat's daily water intake, which is critically important for cats with chronic kidney disease, aiding more effective kidney function and flushing of the urinary tract.
• Appetite Stimulation and Weight Maintenance: Anorexia and weight loss are common in cats with kidney disease. Its high palatability and easily chewable loaf texture 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.
