Specially formulated to meet the needs of cats with early-stage kidney disease, with carefully modulated levels of protein, phosphorus, and other kidney-sensitive nutrients.
One in three cats will develop kidney disease in their lifetime. This feline disease can be difficult to detect because symptoms may not be apparent until 75% kidney function has been lost. However, a new test may be able to detect kidney disease months or years earlier, when only 25% kidney function has been lost.
Kidney disease is more common in older age, but with early detection and intervention, kidney disease can be stabilized. If your cat is older, ask your veterinarian about the SDMA™ test for early detection of kidney disease. Providing the right nutrition in the early stages of the disease can help improve the lives of cats with early kidney disease.
Hill's Early Support Feline Kidney Food is specifically designed to meet the needs of cats with early-stage kidney disease. Its nutrients are clinically proven to maintain kidney function and good health in cats with early-stage kidney disease.
