Dry dietetic food for adult and senior cats with chronic kidney disease: low phosphorus content, concentrated energy intake, and an appetizing flavor profile.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common conditions in senior cats and requires timely nutritional support to slow the progression of kidney damage and maintain a good quality of life.
Royal Canin Renal Dry offers a targeted clinical nutritional solution: the formula features a significantly reduced phosphorus level, which is essential for limiting the strain on compromised kidneys. The protein content is carefully selected for very high digestibility, reducing the accumulation of nitrogenous toxins and uremic waste products in the blood.
The high energy density allows daily caloric needs to be met with smaller portions of kibble, protecting the cat from muscle wasting.
Furthermore, the aroma and shape of the kibble are designed to overcome food aversion and stimulate spontaneous eating in cats with a poor appetite.
