Virbac DOG KIDNEY SUPPORT (K1) Dry Food 12 kg: Comprehensive Support for Kidney Health

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs is a progressive and serious illness that can arise with age or due to genetic predispositions. This condition reduces the kidneys' ability to filter waste products and maintain balance in the body. Early diagnosis and appropriate nutritional management are vital to slow disease progression, alleviate symptoms, and improve your dog's quality of life. Virbac DOG KIDNEY SUPPORT (K1) Dry Food 12 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the specific nutritional needs of dogs diagnosed with CKD.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reduces Burden on Kidneys:
  • Controlled and High-Quality Protein: Contains low levels of highly bioavailable protein to reduce the burden on the kidneys and minimize the accumulation of uremic toxins. This also helps preserve muscle mass.
  • Low Phosphorus Content: Phosphorus accumulation is a significant issue in dogs with CKD. The food has an optimized low phosphorus content to help slow the progression of kidney damage and manage secondary hyperparathyroidism.
• Urinary Tract Health Support: Helps maintain optimal urine pH levels, reducing the risk of kidney stone formation.
• Antioxidant Complex: Contains powerful antioxidants (Vitamin E, C) to protect kidney cells from oxidative stress and help slow the progression of kidney damage.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA+DHA): Includes Omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the kidneys and support renal function.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to optimize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort.
• High Palatability and Acceptability: As loss of appetite can be common in dogs with kidney disease, this food is formulated with high palatability to ensure your dog readily consumes it, thereby enhancing dietary compliance.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your dog's essential nutritional needs, so additional supplements are generally not required.
