Specific Heart & Kidney Support is a complete food dogs with heart and kidney problems. It has been specially formulated to be fed to dogs with heart failure (with concurrent kidney failure), hypertension, oedema, chronic renal insufficiency, hepatic insufficiency (except patients with cholestasis), urate, oxalate or cystine urolithiasis. This food contains high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids which help to slow down kidney failure. EPA will help dogs with heart disease as it helps to counteract cachexia, improves arrhythmia and reduces hypertension and platelet aggregation. The food also has reduced sodium levels which will help to prevent water retention, which is dangerous for dogs with heart, kidney or liver problems. It also has reduced protein levels and an alkaline PH which will help to prevent hyperammonaemia in dogs with liver failure and reduce azotemia in dogs with renal failure. The food also has reduced phosphorus levels which are key in slowing kidney insufficientcy and will help to prevent hyperphosphataemia.

Dog would not eat it with or without other food. He went without food for two days rather than have it.
Customer recommends this product
My thoughts are that if Kenny Greyhound will not eat it then I will not buy it.
Customer recommends this product
My dog will eat some of the special renal foods he needs and I find Specific is acceptable to him and is maintaining his health.
Customer recommends this product
This has been great for my dog. We had to switch him to a special kidney diet quickly and he's taken to this very well. I do half biscuits and half wet food and it suits him. He enjoys his meals, this has been an easy transition. I would recommend.

Sorry but this food didn't suit Bindi. We had to encourage her to eat it and it gave her very loose poo.

Hi I’ve just picked up one carton of the pate heart & kidney support, it does say how much to give per meal, my dog is 7.4kg
Kind regards
Merrilynn Shawe
According to the feeding guidelines your dog will need 380g (1+1/3 of the 300g cartons) every 24 hours if only on this wet food, and if they are an average weight for their breed. This can be spread over multiple meals as required.
