- SPECIFIC CKD Heart& Kidney Support has especially high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA derived from fish oil. In dogs with heart disease, EPA helps maintain lean body mass and appetite, as well as normal heart rate, blood pressure, and platelet aggregation.
- In dogs with renal failure, omega-3 fatty acids help to slow the progression of renal failure. In congestive heart failure, sodium elimination is reduced as part of the compensatory response mechanism, with consequent retention of sodium and water.
- The reduced level of sodium helps to break the vicious circle of water retention, which is essential in patients with kidney, liver and heart failure.
- A restricted phosphorus content is essential to reduce hyperphosphatemia and to slow the progression of renal failure.
- The reduced protein content in combination with its high biological value reduces azotemia in dogs with renal failure. In dogs with liver failure it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and the possibility of hepatic encephalopathy.
- The high biological value of proteins meets the dog's needs for essential amino acids.
- Protein restriction reduces urinary concentrations of oxalates, cystine and urates, which together with alkaline urinary pH prevents precipitation of calcium oxalate, cystine and urates crystals and contributes to a healthy urinary tract.
- Added potassium citrate helps keep calcium oxalate in solution.
