Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Hill's Prescription Diet k/d, clinical nutrition to support your cat's kidney function and help sustain muscle mass.
Kidney Care:
The kidneys filter waste and toxins from the blood and maintain the normal balance of fluid and minerals within the body. As pets age, damage to kidney tissues may occur. This process is irreversible and leads to loss of kidney function. Cats with decreased kidney function may experience loss of appetite and their food intake might decline, which may lead to loss of muscle mass. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet k/d clinical nutrition to support your cat's kidney function and help sustain muscle mass. In fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested nutrition to improve & lengthen quality of life.

Storing Hill's dry food
We do not recommend freezing your pet's foods. Freezing dry food may attract moisture, resulting in mold. Dry food can be left in the feeding bowl indefinitely if the bowl is kept in an area that is cool, out of direct sunlight and not subject to contamination by insects and vermin. Store the bag of food in a cool and dry environment. It is best to store the bag off the floor to reduce potential infestation. The food will retain its best flavor if stored in the original bag. We do not suggest storing your pet's food in an uncontrolled environment such as a garage or outdoors.
