PURINA® PROPLAN® VETERINARY DIETS Canine NF Renal Function is a complete veterinary diet for dogs with chronic kidney disease. It contains restricted amounts of phosphorus as this mineral can build up in kidney patients and has been shown to contribute to progression of the condition.
It also contains limited amounts of high quality protein to help reduce the build-up of toxins, while helping to maintain muscle mass. Omega-3 fatty acids also help maximise the natural anti-inflammatory processes and reduce blood pressure inside the kidney.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Low Phosphorus - Low level of phosphorus to help slow the progression of chronic renal insufficiency
- Opti Protein - Restricted but high quality proteins to help minimise loss of muscle and toxins formation
- Omega 3 DHA/EPA 0 Omega-3 fatty acids to help minimise renal hypertension and help support natural anti-inflammatory processes.
- Suitable for All Dog Sizes
- Veterinary Clinical Nutrition
- 54 Days for a 15kg adult dog
Please note: PURINA® PROPLAN® VETERINARY DIETS Canine NF Renal Function is not suitable for dogs that require a high protein/phosphorus diet - such as pregnant bitches or growing puppies.
