Hill's sells k/d with Chicken as part of its Prescription Diet line, a therapeutic tier available through veterinarians rather than on the open shelf. Hill's describes it as "clinical nutrition shown to help add years and enhance quality of life." It is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs, and the first five ingredients on the label are Brewers Rice, Chicken Fat, Brown Rice, Whole Grain Sorghum, and Chicken. 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 27.5 lb, 17.6 lb, 8.5 lb. Hill's product page states: "Have your veterinarian monitor your pet's condition. Ask your veterinarian for specific feeding instructions for your pet." Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
