Dechra Specific kidney support fish - dietary food for cats with renal insufficiency 2 kg

Product Description

Renal support for cats, useful for the management of chronic renal, hepatic, and cardiac insufficiency, and for urolithiasis.

Characteristics

Specific® FKD Kidney Support is a nutritional support formulated for cats with specific dietary needs.

• Phosphorus restriction is essential to limit renal hyperphosphatemia and slow the progression of chronic kidney disease.
• Supplementation of EPA and DHA, omega-3 fatty acids, helps slow the progression of kidney disease. In cats with heart disease, omega-3 EPA and DHA can help maintain lean body mass, appetite, and normal blood pressure. The fish oil content, and therefore the level of EPA and DHA, is exceptionally high in the Specific® FKD Kidney Support diet.Protein restriction, combined with high biological value proteins, reduces azotemia in cats with renal insufficiency. In cats with liver insufficiency, it reduces the development of hyperammonemia and the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. The high biological value of the proteins provides the cat with sufficient quantities of essential amino acids.In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced as part of the compensatory response to the reduced cardiac output, and as a result, sodium and water retention occurs. The reduced sodium level facilitates the interruption of the vicious cycle of water retention. This is Essential for patients with kidney, liver, and heart problems.
• The limited protein level and the modulation of urinary pH (alkaline) reduce the precipitation of calcium oxalate, cystine, and urate crystals in the urine. The addition of potassium citrate helps reduce the precipitation of calcium oxalate crystals.

Additional Information

• The copper content in the Specific® FKD Kidney Support diet is reduced because copper excretion may be impaired in patients with liver disease.
• The high potassium levels in Specific® FKD Kidney Support supports normal blood potassium levels in cats with kidney problems, often hypokalemic.
• The diet contains high levels of water-soluble vitamins and potassium to compensate for urinary losses caused by the use of diuretics in cardiac patients.
• The diet is supplemented with L-carnitine and taurine to support cardiac muscle function.
• The exceptional palatability of Specific® FKD Kidney Support maximizes the ability to meet nutritional caloric needs, even if the patient has a poor appetite.
• Specific® FKD Kidney Support is A renal support specially packaged in a controlled atmosphere to protect the product's uniquely high levels of EPA and DHA.
