VETERINARY HPM^® ADVANCED KIDNEY & JOINT - DRY DIET

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Limited Protein

The protein content is reduced by 15% in comparison with VETERINARY HPM KJ2 cat diet. This content, combined with the high quality of proteins, helps limit the production of uremic toxins and maintain quality of life.

Very Low Phosphorus

The phosphorus content is reduced by 10% in comparison with VETERINARY HPM KJ2 cat diet. This restricted level helps slow down the evolution of the renal disease and minimises the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

High Energy & Concentration

The high energy density of the diet allows small and concentrated daily rations to compensate for reduced appetite and reduces the risk of inadequate food intake.

Phosphorus Binding

The addition of Chitosan and Calcium Carbonate helps reduce the dietary phosphorus bioavailability.

High Omega-3 & DHA

Specific fat sources provide high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, that helps limit inflammatory processes in joints and kidneys.

Mobility Plus Complex

The association of Chondroitin Sulfate, Chitosan and Eggshell Membrane helps maintain the cartilage integrity.

Palatability Plus Complex

The high level of ingredients from animal sources (46%) and the use of new specific ingredients guarantee high palatability for optimal compliance.

The daily ration is based on the cat’s current body weight, and should be adjusted every month. Always provide a generous supply of fresh drinking water.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Increased Antioxidant Activity

The high level of vitamin E helps limit oxidative processes that could impair both renal function and joint metabolism.

Suitable for Adult and Senior cats

The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirements of adult and senior cats. 

Protection of the Digestive Mucosa

Added bentonite helps protect the digestive mucosa from damage which can occur in association with uraemia.

Urinary Safety

Adjusted RSS (Relative SuperSaturation) indexes for struvites and oxalates help maintain urinary health.

Limits the risk of metabolic acidosis

The addition of an alkalising agent (Calcium Carbonate) helps limit the risk of metabolic acidosis.

Limits the risk of hyperparathyroidism

The adapted calcium content of the diet, with increased Calcium:Phosphorus ratio = 2, helps limit the side effects of hyperphosphatemia and the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
