Formulated to support renal function in dogs with chronic kidney disease. Contains EPA and DHA, a complex of antioxidants and a low phosphorus level. Inadequate kidney workload may induce a uraemic crisis. An adapted content of high quality, highly digestible protein helps reduce kidney workload. Chronic kidney disease can lead to metabolic acidosis. This diet is formulated with alkalinizing agents.
Features & benefits:
REDUCES RENAL WORKLOAD - Inadequate kidney workload may induce uremic crisis. An adapted content of high quality protein helps reduce kidney workload. Feeding protein well in excess of the minimum requirements leads to generation of nitrogen waste products, which accumulate in body fluids when renal excretory capacities are reduced.
METABOLIC EQUILIBRIUM - Chronic kidney disease can lead to metabolic acidosis. Formulated with alkalinizing agents. The kidneys are central to the maintenance of acid base balance. As renal function declines, the capacity to excrete hydrogen ions and reabsorb bicarbonate ions is reduced and metabolic acidosis ensues.
CKD DIETARY MANAGEMENT - Formulated to support renal function in case of chronic kidney disease. Contains EPA and DHA, a complex of antioxidants and a low phosphorus level.
APPETITE PREFERENCE - Designed aromatic profile helps answer to dog's specific preference.
