Dechra Feline SPECIFIC™ Kidney Support is a complete dietetic pet food for adult cats with kidney, heart and/or liver insufficiency.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Kidney support: A restricted content of phosphorus is essential to support maintenance of normal blood levels of phosphorus and renal function in kidney patients
- Kidney & heart support: EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids which can help to support the kidney function. In cats with cardiac disease, EPA and DHA can support maintenance of lean body mass, appetite and normal blood pressure. The content of fish oil, and thereby the level of EPA and DHA, is exceptionally high in SPECIFIC™ FKD Kidney Support
- Liver & kidney support: The reduced content of protein in combination with protein of high biological value help maintain physiological blood levels of urea in cats with renal failure. In cats with liver failure, dietary protein restriction helps to maintain normal ammonia levels in the blood. The high biological value of the proteins supplies the cat with sufficient amounts of essential amino acids
- Heart & kidney support: In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced as part of the compensatory response to the reduced cardiac output, and consequently sodium and water retention occurs. The reduced sodium level helps break the vicious circle of water retention. This is essential for both kidney, liver and heart patients
- Healthy urinary tract support: The restricted protein level reduces the urinary concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate. Together with the alkaline urine pH, this discourages precipitation of urinary calcium oxalate, cystine and urate crystals and supports a healthy urinary tract. Added potassium citrate helps keep calcium oxalate in solution
Recommended for: Support of renal function in case of chronic and temporarily renal insufficiency. Support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency. Support of heart function in case of chronic cardiac insufficiency. Urate, oxalate or cystine urolithiasis.
Not recommended for: Kittens, pregnant and lactating queens. Patients with cholestasis: A diet with a restricted fat content (such as SPECIFIC™ FRD/FRW Weight Reduction or SPECIFIC™ FXD Adult) is more suitable. Cats with struvite urolithiasis
