Hill's sells k/d + j/d Chicken Flavor as part of its Prescription Diet line, a therapeutic tier available through veterinarians rather than on the open shelf. Hill's describes it as "formulated with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense, a proprietary blend of prebiotics shown to activate the gut microbiome to help protect kidney function." It is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs, and the first five ingredients on the label are Brewers Rice, Chicken Fat, Flaxseed, Chicken, and Egg Product. Hill's lists ingredients by pre-cooking weight, so the order shows what goes into the recipe before processing, not the finished proportions. It comes in 18.7 lb. Hill's product page states: "Ask your veterinarian for specific feeding instructions for your pet. Have your veterinarian monitor your pet's condition." Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
