Purina Canine NF Kidney Function
Purina Canine NF Kidney Function Formula helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium helps compensate for the diseased kidney's inability to regulate this important mineral.
Clinical Considerations The role of dietary management in canine kidney conditions is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Low phosphorus intake helps to protect against hyperphosphatemia and the associated renal damage. Restricted but high quality protein in the diet minimizes the intake of nonessential amino acids.
This helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium helps compensate for the diseased kidney's inability to regulate this important mineral. Increased omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce glomerular hypertension.

- Low phosphorus Reduced protein Added potassium Reduced sodium Source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids Medical Indications Diets with these specific nutritional modifications have been recommended for dogs with the following conditions:
