VETERINARY HPM^® Kidney Support Dog

OTHER USE

• Chronic hepatic disorders

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Growth
• Gestation and lactation

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Low Phosphorus*

Low dietary phosphorus helps slow down the development of renal disease and minimise the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Restricted Protein Level*

Restricted level and the high quality of protein help reduce the production of uremic toxins while maintaining sufficient kidney fluid turn over and body condition.

Phosphorus Binding

Addition of Phosphorus binders (chitosan and calcium carbonate) helps reduce the phosphorus bioavailability.

High Energy Density & Palatability

High energy density helps deliver small and concentrated daily rations, and palatability helps maintain sufficient daily food intake, to support patients against undernutrition.

High EPA+DHA (omega-3)

High level of omega-3, especially EPA + DHA, helps modulate inflammatory processes in the kidney.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Increases Antioxidant Activity

High level of vitamin E helps promote antioxidant activity.

Limits the risk of Digestive Ulcerations

Addition of Sepiolite helps protect the digestive mucosa against damage linked to uremia.

Limits the risk of Metabolic Acidosis

Addition of alkalising agents (calcium carbonate) helps limit the risk of metabolic acidosis.

Limits the risk of Hyperparathyroidism

Increased calcium, with Ca:P ratio = 2, helps limit the side effect of high phosphataemia and limit the risk of hyperparathyroidism.

Limits the risk of Hypokalaemia

Increased dietary potassium content helps compensate for urinary losses and limit the risk of hypokalaemia.

Limits the risk of Lower Urinary Tract Disease

Adjusted RSS** for struvite and oxalate help maintain urinary health.

**RSS: Relative Super Saturation index

Suitable for Adult and Senior dogs

The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirement of adult and senior dogs.
