Virbac Veterinary HPM KJ3 Advanced Kidney & Joint Cat Dry Food 3kg is a complete veterinary diet for adult and senior cats with advanced chronic kidney disease, classified as IRIS stages 3 and 4. Suitable for cats with or without osteoarthritis, it combines adapted renal nutrition with support for joint metabolism and mobility.

How KJ3 Supports Kidney and Joint Needs
Adapted Nutrition for Advanced Kidney Disease
Renal diets need to match the stage of kidney disease. Virbac Veterinary HPM KJ3 combines very low phosphorus with a controlled protein level to provide nutrition suited to cats at IRIS stages 3 and 4.
This formula serves a different purpose from KJ1 Early Kidney & Joint and KJ2 Kidney & Joint. Your veterinarian should select the appropriate diet based on your cat’s diagnosis and ongoing assessments.
Nutritional Support for Mobility
Cats with kidney disease may also experience stiffness or reduced mobility. KJ3 provides omega-3 fatty acids alongside ingredients such as eggshell membrane and chondroitin sulphate to support joint health within the same feeding plan.
Energy Support When Appetite Is Reduced
A smaller appetite can make it difficult for cats to maintain their weight and nutritional intake. The concentrated energy content of this renal dry cat food helps deliver calories without requiring large meals.
Monitor how much your cat actually eats, and contact your veterinarian if their appetite declines or they stop eating.
