Specific CKD Heart and Kidney Support dry food for dogs with heart or kidney diseases, 7 kg

Complete balanced food for dogs with heart failure, hypertension, edema, chronic kidney failure, liver failure (except for patients with cholestasis), urate, oxalate or cystine stones. SPECIFIC™ CKD Heart & Kidney Support contains exceptionally high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA extracted from fish oil and krill. In dogs with heart disease, EPA supports lean body mass, improves appetite, regulates arrhythmia, blood pressure, and platelet aggregation. In dogs with kidney failure, omega-3 fatty acids help slow the progression of the failure. In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced to compensate for reduced cardiac output, resulting in sodium and fluid retention. Reduced sodium helps break the "vicious" cycle of water retention (hypertension and edema). This is very important for patients with kidney, liver and heart diseases. A limited amount of phosphorus is necessary to prevent hyperphosphatemia and slow the progression of renal failure. Reduced protein content combined with highly biologically valuable proteins reduces azotemia in dogs with renal failure. In dogs with liver failure, this reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and possible hepatic encephalopathy. Biologically valuable proteins provide the dog's body with a sufficient amount of essential amino acids. A limited amount of protein reduces the concentration of oxalates, cystines and urates in the urine. Together with the alkaline pH of the urine, this protects against the formation of calcium oxalates, cystine and urate crystal deposits in the urine. The potassium citrate in the composition reduces the risk of calcium oxalate deposits. Rice, wheat, corn, fish oil, pork fat, egg powder, Antarctic krill, minerals (including zeolite and potassium citrate), hydrolyzed animal protein, potato protein, vitamins and trace elements (including chelated trace elements), fish meal, yeast, cellulose powder, taurine, methionine, L-carnitine, rosemary extract. Natural antioxidants (tocopherols and vitamin C). Contains no artificial colors or fragrances. Warnings Not recommended: For puppies and male or lactating bitches. For dogs with relatively high protein needs. For patients with cholestasis. Food with a lower fat content (such as SPECIFIC™ Weight Reduction or SPECIFIC™ Senior line feed) is more suitable for them. For dogs with struvite stone disease. In dogs with hyperlipidemia or pancreatitis.
