Complete description:

VIRBAC Veterinary HPM KJ1 Renal & Joint wet cat food, in a 12-sachet package containing 95g, has been developed to exacting veterinary standards to provide specialized nutritional support for adult cats with chronic kidney failure or degenerative joint disease. This premium formula combines high-quality ingredients with a carefully balanced nutritional profile to help preserve kidney function, relieve joint strain, and maintain the pet's quality of life.

Formulated by the French laboratory VIRBAC, a leader in veterinary nutrition, this wet food stands out for its low phosphorus content, its moderate level of high biological value proteins, and its inclusion of chondroprotective agents, making it ideal for both cats diagnosed with kidney disease and those with reduced mobility due to age or joint pathologies.

Key product benefits:

• Advanced Kidney Support: Reduced phosphorus content (<0,15%) and selected proteins to limit kidney load without compromising muscle mass.
• Joint protection: Enriched with hydrolyzed collagen, chondroitin, and glucosamine to maintain cartilage integrity and promote mobility.
• High palatability: soft texture and highly accepted flavor even in cats with capricious or decreased appetite.
• Profile adapted to cats with chronic pathologies: low sodium content and supplementation with antioxidants to combat renal and joint oxidative stress.
• Practical and fresh format: individual 95g sachets that optimally preserve the aroma and quality of the food.

Indicated for:

• Adult cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at any stage.
