Canine/Feline a/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets Recovering From Serious Illness, Accidents and Surgery Both dogs and cats can undergo significant changes when faced with a serious illness, injury or surgery. They may have trouble maintaining natural defenses and sparing lean body mass (in on other words, they may be losing body weight from muscle or organ tissue), which can affect recovery. Prescription Diet® Canine/Feline a/d® has been specifically formulated by veterinarians to be fed to dogs or cats with certain debilitating conditions. These conditions can be affected by the lack of key nutrients and digestible energy.

Canine c/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Urinary Tract Disease Associated with Struvite in Dogs
Urinary tract disease is associated with the build-up of crystals and stones in the urinary tract that can cause painful and bloody urination and potential blockage in your dog. One type of crystal that forms in a dog’s urinary tract is called struvite. Prescription Diet c/d® was formulated specifically to provide nutritional management of dogs with struvite-related urinary tract disease. Struvite forms in response to urine saturated with magnesium, ammonium and phosphorus, as well as an alkaline (basic) urinary pH.

Canine d/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Food Allergy and Intolerance Food allergy and intolerance may result in numerous skin and stomach problems that can cause discomfort and pain in your dog. Also known as adverse reactions to food, this condition is usually an abnormal response to the protein found in pet food. Prescription Diet® d/d® comes with novel—or new—protein sources to help manage dogs with adverse reactions to food. Commonly, reactions occur as a result of beef, dairy products and wheat. Canine d/d® foods contain none of these

Canine g/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Older Pets Older dogs are at risk of many diseases and require food designed to help reduce nutrient excesses that may be harmful to their system. For example, by reducing sodium, dogs with mild heart disease are less likely to exhibit signs associated with sodium and fluid retention. Increasing omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins may help improve blood flow to the kidneys and compensate for increased urinary losses in older dogs.

Canine h/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Heart Disease Heart disease is a condition frequently found in aging dogs, but it also may have other contributing factors such as heartworm infection. Typically, heart disease can cause the heart to become enlarged, leading to fluid retention and discomfort for your dog. Fluid retention is in response to a less efficient heart muscle and can be made more problematic with foods that are high in sodium. Prescription Diet® Canine h/d® is formulated to help manage dogs with the symptoms of heart disease and related fluid retention.

Canine i/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Gastrointestinal Disorders Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affect the stomach and intestines, causing painful symptoms and problems with your dog’s overall health. Some of the more common symptoms include vomiting, regurgitation, flatulence, weakness, diarrhea or constipation. Prescription Diet® Canine i/d® was developed to help manage dogs with GI disorders. There are several types of GI disorders that affect dogs, including colitis, constipation/diarrhea, gastroenteritis and pancreatitis

Canine k/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Pets with Kidney Disorders There are many causes for kidney disorders (also called kidney or renal disease) resulting in a variety of uncomfortable and even life threatening symptoms for your dog. Kidney disease can be either sudden (acute) or occur gradually (chronic). Prescription Diet® Canine k/d® has been specially formulated by veterinarians to help manage dogs with kidney disease. Kidney disease may develop because of other diseases or changes in health, breed/hereditary tendencies and even nutritional factors. Signs of kidney disease don’t usually appear until more than two-thirds of kidney function are lost. Prescription Diet® Canine k/d® is clinically proven to extend and improve quality of life in dogs with kidney disease.

Canine p/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Puppies During their first year, growing puppies have special nutritional needs. Prescription Diet® Canine p/d® brand pet food meets these needs. High levels of calcium and phosphorus and the proper nutrient balance permit a smooth transition at weaning and provide high-quality nutrition to maturity. Prescription Diet® Canine p/d® also contains high levels of protein, energy and minerals to aid in recovery of puppies or adult dogs. Canine p/d® can be used as a recuperative formula for acute or chronic debilitating diseases such as trauma, sepsis, anemia, parasitism and surgery. For dogs requiring assisted feeding, refer to Canine/Feline a/d®.

Canine r/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Obese or Overweight Pets Being overweight can cause your pet discomfort, reduce energy levels and even shorten her life. Just as in people, weight gain is usually associated with excessive calorie and fat intake combined with a lack of exercise. Obesity can lead to such serious conditions as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and others. Prescription Diet® Canine r/d® was designed specifically for the management of dogs with weight problems

Canine s/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Dogs with Urinary Tract Disease Urinary tract disease in dogs is often caused by the formation of mineral-based crystals and stones in the urinary tract that can cause discomfort, bloody urine and even life-threatening obstruction. For dogs, struvite crystals generally cause urinary tract disease. Prescription Diet® s/d® has been formulated by veterinarians to help resolve struvite crystals and stones in your dog. Struvite forms as a result of urine that’s saturated with protein, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium combined with an improper urine pH.

Canine w/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Obese Prone and Slightly Overweight Pets Even minor weight problems can have an impact on your dog’s health and energy levels. It’s a problem that frequently begins with excessive calorie and fat intake as well as a lack of adequate exercise. Prescription Diet® Canine w/d® was formulated specifically to help manage dogs who are slightly overweight as well as those prone to gaining weight. Weight problems can lead to more serious conditions, including arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and several others.
