Purina Veterinary Diets Dog Food NF [Kidney Function] (34 lb)

Description

Purina Veterinary Diets Dog Food NF [Kidney Function] (34 lb)
The role of dietary management in canine kidney conditions is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Low phosphorus intake helps to protect against hyperphosphatemia and the associated renal damage. Restricted but high quality protein in the diet minimizes the intake of nonessential amino acids. This helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium help compensate for the diseased kidney’s inability to regulate this important mineral.

Low phosphorus
Reduced protein
Added potassium
