When cats have kidney tissue damage, their kidneys cannot perform as well. This condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed, and taking action early can be beneficial. Cats with decreased kidney function may experience a loss of appetite and their food intake might decline. Dietetic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively.
It's important to continue to feed PRESCRIPTION DIET k/d Early Stage Kidney Care Cat Food to help maintain your cat's kidney health, even after their kidney symptoms improve. Consult your veterinarian for further information on how PRESCRIPTION DIET foods can help them continue to enjoy a happy and active life.
