Overview
A 6-lb bag of Blue Buffalo's Natural Veterinary Diet KS Kidney Support dry food in chicken flavor, formulated for adult dogs of all breed sizes. It is corn-free, wheat-free, soy-free and preservative-free.
This sits in Blue Buffalo's veterinary diet line, which the brand positions for dogs managing kidney health through controlled protein and mineral levels rather than as a general everyday kibble. Diets in this category are typically meant to be used under a vet's direction rather than picked off the shelf on your own.
