Renal Failure
RENAL is a complete dietetic food for cats formulated to support renal function in case of chronic or temporary renal insufficiency, through its restricted level of phosphorus and high quality protein; to reduce oxalate stone formation, through its low level of calcium and vitamin D, and its urine alkalinising properties; to support liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency, through its moderate level of high quality protein and its high content of essential fatty acids

Feeding Duration:
The diet is prescribed for a 6-month minimum period, at the end of which a veterinary check-up must be performed. When diagnosed, 3/4 of the renal mass has been lost and the disease is irreversible; the diet should be maintained for the cat’s lifetime.
During CRF, phosphorus is no longer eliminated effectively by the kidneys. A restriction in phosphrus intake is essential to limit the development of renal failure
Feeding a diet with a high fish oil (source of EPA/DHA) content significantly improves the glomular filtration rate in the long run, while minimising glomerulosclerosis
Increased uraemia may induce the formation of gastric and intestinal mucosal ulcers. The combination of zeolite and FOS minimises this risk
The synergistic antioxidant complex (vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine, lutein) helps maintain healthy DNA, promotes health of the immune system and neutralises free radicals, the negative effects of which increase with age
Cats with renal failure are generally senior cats more prone to gingivitis and chewing difficulty. Therefore a soft texture like the Renal with Chicken loaf in alutray is interesting. Besides, a significant number of cats spontaneously prefer wet diets with a texture of loaf in tray.
Recommended daily quantities (g/day):
Water should be available at all times
