Virbac Veterinary HPM Kidney & Joint KJ2

Virbac Veterinary HPM Kidney & Joint (KJ2) is a specialized therapeutic diet designed for cats suffering from chronic renal insufficiency and osteoarthritis. The product is part of the Veterinary HPM line, which focuses on high-protein, low-carbohydrate formulations tailored to the carnivorous needs of pets while addressing specific medical conditions through nutrition.

The brand Virbac was founded in 1968 by veterinarian Pierre-Richard Dick in Carros, France. Since its inception, the company has grown into one of the world's largest independent laboratories dedicated exclusively to animal health. Manufacturing for the HPM diet range is primarily centered in Virbac's high-tech production facilities in France, though the company maintains a global supply chain to serve its international markets.

Today, Virbac remains an independent, family-led global player in the animal health industry. It is listed on the Euronext Paris exchange, but the majority of the voting rights and control remain with the Dick family through their holding structures. The brand is recognized globally for its pharmaceutical and nutritional innovations in veterinary medicine.
