VETERINARY HPM^® KIDNEY & JOINT - DRY DIET

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Moderate Protein

The protein content is reduced by 15% in comparison with VETERINARY HPM KJ1 cat diet. This content and the high quality of proteins allow both muscle mass preservation and uremic toxin reduction.

Low Phosphorus

The phosphorus content is reduced by 15% in comparison with VETERINARY HPM KJ1 cat diet. The low phosphorus content helps protect the renal function.

Muscle Mass Preservation

The dietary protein intake helps promote strong muscles to support joints and mobility.

High Energy & Concentration

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

High Omega-3 & DHA

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

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 (52%) 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

Phosphorus Binding

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

Suitable for Adult and Senior cats

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

Increased Antioxidant Activity

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

Urinary Safety

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