PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets
PPVD NF Kidney Function Advanced Care™ Feline Canned Formula
A clinical diet to help support the health of adult and senior cats in the advanced stages of kidney disease.
Pack size 156g x 24
In recent decades, cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been managed with diets restricted in protein. However, cats are carnivores and a species with high protein requirements*1,2. As medical advances make earlier disease detection possible, cats with CKD may benefit from dietary strategies that better align with their nutritional needs. PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets Feline NF Kidney Function Advanced Care has been formulated with a reduced amount of high-quality protein to minimise the production of filtered nitrogenous waste products. This approach helps reduce the workload on the kidneys while still providing essential amino acids to support overall health.
The diet also includes a precise balance of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and restricted phosphorus, all aimed at supporting kidney function. These carefully chosen ingredients not only help manage CKD but also support a healthy immune system, maintain muscle mass, and improve the quality of life for ageing cats.
The science behind Purina's therapeutic diets represents a collaboration between Purina nutritionists, researchers, and veterinarians. To help manage chronic renal failure and its complications in adult and ageing cats, PURINA PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets Feline NF Kidney Function Advanced Care Formulas offer comprehensive nutritional support tailored to the needs of cats with CKD. This innovative approach ensures the optimal care and management of kidney health, allowing cats to live healthier, more comfortable lives.
