Dechra SPECIFIC Cat FKD Kidney Support

Specific FKD Kidney Support Dry Cat Food is a dry food designed to provide nutritional support for adult cats with reduced heart, kidney and/or liver function.

High levels of Omega 3 from fish, reduced protein and carefully balanced vitamins and minerals support blood pressure and reduce kidney workload.

Key Benefits

Lower mineral and protein levels to reduce kidney workload along with proteins of high biological value, which provide all of the protein requirements even with the reduced levels
Contains high levels of fish oil to support the heart rhythm and blood pressure, which can also support kidney function
Restricted phosphorus content supports normal blood pressure and slows decline in kidney function
With lower protein, added potassium citrate and alkaline urine to help prevent the formation of calcium oxalate, urate or crystal stones
Packed under nitrogen to preserve the fragile Omega-3 fish oils

For adult cats with kidney and heart disease or cats with calcium oxalate, urate and cystine stones.

Ingredients

Maize, maize protein, pork fat, fish oil, egg powder, maize starch, potato protein, beet pulp, minerals, animal protein hydrolysate, cellulose powder, Antarctic krill, fish meal, psyllium husk, fructooligo-saccharides, AuraGuard (calcium carbonate citrus extract maltodextrin sodium chloride). With natural antioxidants (tocopherols, rosemary extract and vitamin C). Contains no added artificial colour or flavourings.

Recommended For

Support of renal function in case of chronic and temporarily renal insufficiency. Support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency. Support of heart function in case of chronic cardiac insufficiency. Urate, oxalate or cystine urolithiasis.

Not Recommended For

Kittens, pregnant and lactating queens. Patients with cholestasis: A diet with a restricted fat content (such as SPECIFIC™ FRD/FRW Weight Reduction or SPECIFIC™ FXD Adult) is more suitable. Cats with struvite urolithiasis.

Kidneysupport: A restricted content of phosphorus is essential to support the maintainence of normal blood levels of phosphorus and renal function in kidney patients.

Heart & kidney support: EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids which can help to support the kidney function. In cats with cardiac disease, EPA and DHA can support maintenance of lean body mass, appetite and normal blood pressure and platelet aggregation. The content of fish oil, and thereby the level of EPA and DHA, is exceptionally high in SPECIFIC™ FKD Kidney Support.

Liver & kidney support: The reduced content of protein in combination with protein of high biological value help maintain physiological blood levels of urea in cats with renal faliure. In cats with liver faliure, dietary protein restriction helps to maintain normal ammonia levels in the blood. The high biological value of the proteins supplies the cat with sufficient amounts of essential amino acids.

Heart & kidney support: In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced as part of the compensatory response to the reduced cardiac output, and consequently sodium and water retention occurs. The reduced sodium level helps break the vicious circle of water retention. This is essential for both kidney, liver and heart patients.

Urinary crystal & stone protection: The restricted protein level reduces the urinary concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate. Together with the alkaline urine pH, this discourages precipitation of urinary calcium oxalate, cystine and urate crystals and supports a healthy urinary tract. Added potassium citrate helps keep calcium oxalate in solution.
