Virbac Veterinary HPM K1 Kidney Support is a complete and balanced dry food for dogs with temporary or chronic kidney (renal) disease, formulated to support kidney function while helping your dog maintain optimal body condition. It's also suitable for dogs with chronic hepatic (liver) disease. The diet uses a restricted level of high-quality protein and low phosphorus to reduce strain on compromised kidneys, balanced with high energy density so your dog gets what they need from smaller portions — helpful during periods of appetite loss. Rich in naturally tasty animal ingredients for palatability. This is a therapeutic veterinary diet and should be used under veterinary supervision.
Key Benefits
-
Kidney-appropriate protein — a restricted amount of high-quality protein (20.5%, 70% animal-origin) helps preserve lean muscle without adding strain on the kidneys, while reducing production of uraemic toxins.
-
Low phosphorus (0.4%) — helps protect kidney function; chitosan and calcium carbonate act as phosphorus binders to help reduce phosphorus levels in the body.
-
Reduces risk of secondary issues — balanced calcium and phosphorus help protect against secondary hyperparathyroidism, and calcium carbonate helps limit the risk of metabolic acidosis.
-
High energy density — 391–395 kcal/100 g provides energy from smaller portions, useful when appetite is low.
-
Antioxidant & anti-inflammatory support — vitamin E helps limit oxidative stress on the kidneys, and omega-3 fatty acids support skin and coat and help limit inflammation.
-
Digestive protection — bentonite helps protect the digestive wall against damage linked to uraemic toxins.
