Hill's Prescription Diet - Feline k/d Plus (Kidney & Mobility) 6.35lbs
Hills K/D + Mobility is formulated to support both healthy kidney function and healthy joints.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition often associated with advanced age. According to recent data, 1 out of 3 cats will develop CKD in their lifetime. It is also common for senior cats to develop other age-related conditions such as reduced mobility or cognitive dysfunction, which can significantly impact the quality of life of both the cat and the pet parent.
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a common condition in senior cats and causes pain and inflammation in a cat’s joints. Studies have shown that DJD is so common that 90% of cats over the age of 12 years suffer from DJD. Cats hide their pain very well; therefore, pet parents may not recognize the signs of joint disease. Some of these signs include being less active while awake or sleeping more than usual, behaviors which can be seen as normal considering the age of the cat.
As cats grow older, they might suffer from cognitive dysfunction. The behavioral signs of cognitive dysfunction tend to become noticeable in cats that are 10 years of age or older. The signs include spatial disorientation, wandering away from home into unfamiliar territory, lack of interest in playing, excessive sleeping, altered cycles of sleep and wakefulness, long periods of staring blankly into space or at walls, indifference to food and water, urinating and defecating outside the litter box, and seemingly unprompted episodes of loud vocalizing, frequently in the middle of the night.
Nutrition can play a key role in managing these age-related conditions. That is why Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet® k/d®+Mobility for cats. This clinical nutrition not only supports your cat's kidney function but also helps to improve mobility and increase cognitive alertness and vitality.
In fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve & lengthen quality of life.

年齡越大,通常越容易罹患慢性腎臟病。根據近期研究,貓咪一生當中罹患慢性腎臟病的機率為1/3。熟齡貓亦容易出現其他與年紀相關的症狀,例如行動力減弱或知覺功能障礙,這些都會大幅影響寵物與飼主的生活品質。
退化性關節炎是熟齡貓易患的常見疾病,會造成貓咪的關節疼痛、發炎。研究顯示退化性關節炎的盛行率極高,12歲以上的貓咪有高達九成會罹患退化性關節炎。但貓咪十分擅於掩飾自己的疼痛,因此飼主有可能察覺不出愛貓已出現關節疾病的跡象,包含清醒的時候不那麼好動或睡眠增加,一般飼主有可能會認為這是年紀大了的「正常」現象。
貓咪年紀大了後可能也會受知覺功能障礙所苦,知覺功能障礙的行為跡象在貓咪十歲過後會越趨明顯,包含:空間定向障礙;在離家甚遠、不孰悉的地方遊蕩;對玩耍興趣缺缺;大量睡眠;睡眠與清醒周期轉變;長時間對著空氣或牆面發呆;對食物及水漠不關心;於貓砂盆外排尿或排便;大聲哭叫,尤其在夜間時段。
營養在管理這些年齡相關的症狀中扮演著關鍵角色,因此希爾思TM的營養專家及獸醫師們特別研發臨床營養配方希爾思TM處方食品貓用k/dTM+關節活動力,既能維護愛貓的腎臟功能,又能改善牠的行動力,同時增加其認知警覺及活力。
