NOTE: A licensed veterinarian's authorization is mandatory before selling the Medicus Canine Kidney Support Diet, Feline Kidney Support Diet, and Feline Bladder Health Diet to consumers.
These dietary formulations are crafted with nutritional restrictions and are intended exclusively for animals with diagnosed medical conditions currently under active veterinary care. These are therapeutic diets formulated for each disease's particular macronutrient and micronutrient needs and prescribed by actively licensed veterinarians based on their patients' needs. Veterinary supervision is required.'
Other industry diets meet the nutrient profiles needed to address a disease state but do so using poor-quality ingredients like meat meals, corn, and a lengthy list of synthetic nutrients.
We know that when an animal is sick, nutrition matters most, and that you can provide a therapeutic kidney diet with whole foods.
The proof is in the numbers.
