Dechra has launched new Specific Heart & Kidney Support Hydrolysed wet and dry diets and updated its Specific Heart & Kidney Support wet and dry diets, giving veterinary teams another diet option for dogs and cats with kidney disease.

The new hydrolysed diet contains hydrolysed proteins, AuraGuard, fibres and Zeolite.

Dechra says the new formula featured in both diets offers superior palatability and works in a multi-action way with support of the gut-kidney axis to help optimise protein absorption and maintenance of muscle mass, gut barrier integrity and a healthy microbiome, while lowering uremic toxins in the blood.

The company says both diets control levels of protein, phosphorus and sodium and offer high levels of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Becky Morris, marketing manager at Dechra, said: "Chronic kidney disease is a lifelong progressive disease in dogs and cats, and nutrition is an important part of management to help slow disease progression, improve quality of life and reduce the risk of secondary complications.

"Our new and updated highly palatable Specific Heart & Kidney Support diets will help keep dogs and cats in good condition, prolonging the progression of the disease and the lifespan of the pet."
