5. Supports Hydration: Being a wet food, it helps contribute to your dog’s daily fluid intake, which is essential for supporting kidney function and preventing dehydration.

6. Antioxidants for Immune Support: The formula includes a blend of antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals and support the immune system, helping your dog fight off infections and maintain overall health.

7. Sodium Management: The food is designed with a lower sodium content to help manage blood pressure and fluid retention, which are common concerns in dogs with renal issues.
