Clinically Studied in Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease

Pet supplements are currently available in many forms, including tablets, gels and lickable treats. What sets VFcore KC apart from other kidney-support supplements is its convenient lickable format, supported by a clinical safety study in cats with chronic kidney disease.

The safety of VFcore KC supplementation was evaluated in collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University. Cats diagnosed with chronic kidney disease received VFcore KC continuously over a 60-day study period.

Throughout the study, no adverse changes were observed in blood waste markers or liver and kidney parameters. The findings indicated that VFcore KC was well tolerated by cats with chronic kidney disease during the study period and could be used continuously as part of their nutritional and veterinary care.

The results also suggested that VFcore KC may help support kidney function and the management of progressive kidney deterioration when used alongside appropriate veterinary treatment.

VFcore KC is a vitamin supplement in a highly palatable lickable format. It is formulated to support veterinary care and nutritional management for pets with kidney-related conditions, including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

The formula contains a range of functional ingredients selected to support kidney health, reduce oxidative stress and help maintain kidney function.

Key Ingredients in VFcore KC

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 essential fatty acids help regulate inflammatory responses and may help reduce inflammation and damage within the kidneys. They may also support the management of proteinuria, a condition in which excessive protein is lost through the urine.

Nano-Chitooligosaccharide (Nano-COS)

Nano-COS is derived from chitin and may help reduce the accumulation of waste products in pets with kidney disease. It also provides antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and damage to the kidney’s functional units.

VFcore KC is also enriched with antioxidants and other supportive nutrients that work together to help slow kidney deterioration and promote effective kidney function.

Kidney disease is often referred to as a “silent threat” because noticeable symptoms may not appear until kidney function has already declined. It can affect both humans and animals, with older pets and those with underlying health conditions facing a greater risk.

When kidney disease is detected at an early stage, appropriate veterinary treatment, nutritional management and regular monitoring may help slow its progression and maintain the pet’s quality of life for longer.

Pet owners are therefore encouraged to schedule annual health examinations for their pets, including assessments of kidney function and overall health. Senior pets and animals at higher risk may require more frequent monitoring as recommended by a veterinarian.

VFcore KC is intended to provide nutritional support alongside veterinary care. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. Pet owners should consult a veterinarian before using the product, particularly for pets diagnosed with acute or chronic kidney conditions.
