Virbac Veterinary HPM Cat Kidney & Joint KJ2 Wet Food 85 g

Cats with chronic kidney disease and joint problems require a clinically formulated and carefully balanced diet to support their well-being and quality of life. Support your cat with VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint wet food, developed to support the management of moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease.

Features:

• Very low phosphorus content helps prevent harmful phosphorus accumulation, supports kidney function, and helps slow disease progression.
• High fat and energy content helps prevent malnutrition.
• A moderate amount of high-quality protein helps maintain muscle mass while helping to keep levels of uraemic waste products low.
• Chitosan binds phosphorus and promotes its elimination from the body.
• Helps increase fluid intake and supports normal kidney function.
• A moderate amount of high-quality protein may encourage drinking and support fluid balance.
• Contains nutrients that support joint health in cats with osteoarthritis.
• Omega-3 fatty acids help control inflammation, a common underlying factor in joint problems.
• Collagen-rich eggshell membrane supports joint flexibility and mobility.
• Chondroitin helps protect and maintain joint cartilage.
• Chitosan enhances the utilisation of chondroitin.
• A palatable formula with meat pieces in gravy helps encourage food intake.
• Can be combined with VETERINARY HPM® Kidney & Joint dry food to provide variety in the diet.
• Suitable for adult and senior cats with moderate to advanced kidney disease (IRIS stages 2, 3 or 4), including cats that also have osteoarthritis. Always consult your veterinarian before using a specialised diet to ensure that it is appropriate for your cat’s individual needs.
