Acting early is critical to help give pets their strongest possible future
New evidence1 2 supports a link between gut microbiome health and chronic kidney disease (CKD), even in early stages. For pets, this makes early detection and treatment more important than ever.
- Encourage CKD screenings in your regular check-ups.
- 40–60% of pets with kidney disease are NOT eating a renal food.3,4 Switch them to an appropriate k/d product in CKD Stage 1 to help slow progression. Hill's Prescription Diet k/d is clinically proven with Grade I clinical evidence.
