Veterinary HPM K1 Kidney Support is a dietary food, with reduced phosphorus and restricted protein, indicated to support renal function in case of chronic (or acute) renal failure.
Virbac K1 Kidney Support is a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet with 20.5% protein, 70% of which is of animal origin.
Veterinary HPM nutrition is for specific use and should be prescribed by your veterinarian.
Benefits
Reduced phosphorus content. The low phosphorus content of the diet helps to slow the development of kidney disease and minimises the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Restricted protein level. The restricted level of protein and its high quality help to reduce renal function disorders and maintain body condition.
Phosphorus chelator. The addition of chitosan and calcium carbonate help to reduce phosphorus availability (clinically proven by Virbac).
High energy concentration and excellent palatability. The high energy concentration helps to provide small daily rations and the high palatability helps to maintain sufficient feed intake for proper patient nutrition.
High content of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA-DHA). High levels of omega-3 help regulate inflammation in the kidney.
