Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
Since starting her new diet, Minnie has gained weight (a good thing for her), her energy has increased, and her fur is softer and fuller. These improvements were evident after the first month or two.
Minnie had a history of recurring UTIs with her previous owner, and she had a serious UTI when we first brought her to the vet.
After the infection was successfully treated, Minnie started eating the k/d diet. She has not had a UTI since then (knock on wood). I don't know if the k/d formula is specifically intended to prevent UTIs, but I assume that having improved renal function is helpful here.
Minnie is pretty finicky about what she'll eat. But she really likes the k/d food. She eats the chicken flavor with no complaints. She scarfs down the Ocean Fish flavor...I inadvertently spilled some, and she started eating it off the floor like a dog (really).
Side note re: cost vs. shipment: the price is definitely much higher on Amazon. However, Amazon is faster. The other sites require a veterinarian's approval or prescription, which can take time to obtain. If you tend to procrastinate (like I do), you can order k/d on Amazon and receive it in 2 days. (Yay for prime membership. How did I ever live without it? haha.)
Of course, it's much smarter to plan ahead and go through your vet's office or a reputable pet site (which I'm finally doing today). Also, you have more flavor options on the other sites...including Ocean Fish. (Yay for finding Minnie's favorite flav and saving $ on another site!)
He loves the flavor, too! It's well worth the cost because it is such a great product.

-Son pequeñas, buena para gatitos que perdieron sus dientes.
-La bolsa tiene velcro y guarda mejor el olor.
Ya saben cuando escuchan el ruido del paquete que son ellas y se paran a ver cuando salen del paquete
Estas croquetas son recomendables para gatos que tiene problemas renales pero, antes que nada, consulte a un veterinario para saber qué alimentos convienen a sus mascotas, En mi caso, de acuerdo a la veterinaria, mi gata debe comerla de por vida de acuerdo a su estado renal.
