Product Details

VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet is a tasty wet cat food for adult and senior cats in the intermediate or advanced stage of chronic kidney disease (IRIS classification stages 2, 3 or 4), with or without osteoarthritis. It’s expertly adapted to preserve kidney function in your cat, while helping them to maintain optimal body condition.

Nutritionally adapted food for cats with kidney problems
VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet features the ideal ratio of low carbohydrates and moderate high-quality proteins (11%) for cats with mid-stage or advanced kidney disease. This careful balance restricts the production of uraemic toxins while preserving your cat’s muscle mass. It also promotes healthy weight maintenance, supporting physical activity and reducing the burden on the joints.

Very low in phosphorous to protect kidney function
As kidney disease progresses, the kidneys become less efficient at filtering out phosphorus. This can further damage the kidneys and other tissues. VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet contains a very low level of phosphorus (0.15%) to support your cat’s kidney function. It also includes chitosan to bind to phosphorus, reducing the levels available in the body.

Boosts water intake for optimal hydration
Hydration is especially important for cats with kidney disease, as water helps the kidneys to flush out waste toxins. A wet food for cats with kidney disease is an easy way to help your cat boost their daily fluid intake.

A blend of supportive nutrients to care for the joints
Like kidney disease, joint problems like osteoarthritis are common as cats age. VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet features a range of nutrients designed to keep the joints mobile, flexible and healthy:

• Omega-3 fatty acids help limit inflammation that can lead to joint pain and degeneration.
• Egg shell membrane is rich in collagen, glucosamine and other nutrients naturally found in the joints.
• Chondroitin sulphate helps to support joint cartilage and lubrication.
• Chitosan optimises the breakdown and absorption of chondroitin.

VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet is an ideal wet cat food for more advanced kidney disease in both adult and senior cats. With delicious, high-quality proteins in a rich mousse, you can be confident your cat will love the taste and texture. You can also tailor it to your cat’s needs and preferences by combining it with VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint dry food (for stage 2 kidney disease) or VETERINARY HPM® KJ3 Advanced Kidney & Joint dry food (for stages 3 or 4).

Benefits

The high energy density and adapted protein intake help compensate for poor appetite, prevent denutrition, and preserve lean muscle.

High omega-3 and DHA help to limit inflammatory processes while chondroitin sulfate, chitosan and eggshell membrane help to maintain the cartilage integrity.

FAQ

VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet is a cat food for cats with intermediate kidney disease (IRIS stage 2)_ or advanced kidney disease (IRIS stages 3-4). It is only intended for adult and senior cats, and is suitable for cats with or without osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease.

If your cat has early-stage kidney disease (stage 1), they may be better suited to VETERINARY HPM® KJ1 Early Kidney & Joint Wet.

Always check with your vet or vet nurse before giving your cat a clinical cat food for kidney issues to make sure it’s safe and appropriate for their individual needs.

The International Renal Interest Society, or IRIS, classification system is a way of describing how advanced a cat’s kidney dysfunction or disease is. It tells your vet how well your cat’s kidneys are functioning and helps them to plan the most appropriate treatment, including diet.

Kidney disease is grouped into one of four IRIS stages:

• Stage 1 refers to early-stage kidney dysfunction.
• Stage 2 refers to intermediate or mid-stage kidney disease.
• Stage 3 refers to advanced kidney disease.
• Stage 4 refers to very advanced or end-stage kidney disease.

VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet is formulated to help your cat maintain kidney function and optimal body condition. It does this with:

• A moderate amount of quality proteins to preserve muscle mass.
• Low carbohydrates to help your cat maintain a healthy weight.
• Very low phosphorus content to reduce strain on the kidneys.
• Chitosan to bind phosphorous and reduce levels even further.

VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet contains a range of nutrients designed to keep the joints mobile, flexible and healthy:

• Omega-3 fatty acids help limit inflammation that can lead to joint pain and degeneration.
• Egg shell membrane is rich in collagen, glucosamine and other nutrients naturally found in the joints.
• Chondroitin sulphate helps to support joint cartilage and lubrication.
• Chitosan optimises the breakdown and absorption of chondroitin.

Yes. For cats with stage 2 kidney disease, try VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Dry instead or feed in combination with the wet. If your cat has stage 3 or 4 kidney disease, try VETERINARY HPM® KJ3 Advanced Kidney & Joint Dry instead. These dry foods feature the same high-quality animal proteins, specially tailored phosphorus content and joint-supportive nutrients.

You can find recommended rations for VETERINARY HPM® KJ2 Kidney & Joint Wet on this page and on the packaging. Remember that the recommended rations are based on your cat’s current body weight and whether this weight is overweight, normal or underweight for them. If you are unsure what a normal weight is for your cat, consult your vet or vet nurse for advice.

The recommended rations will change if your cat gains or loses weight, or their body condition (overweight, normal, underweight) changes. To ensure you’re feeding your cat the correct amount, weigh them every month and adjust their ration if necessary.

If in doubt about how much to feed your cat, always ask your vet or vet nurse for guidance.

Yes, you can feed a combination of wet and dry food. To help you determine how much food to feed of each the feeding table provided on this page can be used as a guide.

Cats are creatures of habit, so it’s a good idea to introduce new foods slowly. Try mixing a small amount of the new food with their current food, gradually increasing the amount until they’re exclusively eating the new food. Use the following schedule as a guide for a successful transition:

• Days 1-2 – 75% current food and 25% new food.
• Days 3-4 – 50% current food and 50% new food.
• Days 5-6 – 25% current food and 75% new food.
• Day 7 onwards – 100% new food.
