Please Note: All prescription diets are specifically formulated to meet specific needs, ALWAYS check with your vet which diet is best suited to your pet before ordering.

Dechra SPECIFIC® FKW Kidney Support Adult Wet Cat Food is recommended for the support of renal function in case of chronic and temporary renal insufficiency. Support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency. Support heart function in chronic cardiac insufficiency: Urate, oxalate or cystine urolithiasis.

Dechra SPECIFIC® FKW Kidney Support Adult Wet Cat Food has a restricted content of phosphorus, which is essential to maintain normal blood levels of phosphorus and renal function in kidney patients. EPA and DHA are Omega-3 fatty acids that can help to support kidney function. In cats with cardiac disease, EPA and DHA can support the 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.

The reduced protein content, combined with a protein of high biological value, helps 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. 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. 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 the solution.

This diet is 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.
