Renal diet for cats Diet for kidney failure in cats

Composition and release forms

There are several forms of the supplement. It is produced in the form of powder and paste. The first product is packaged in plastic jars. The package contains 50 g of supplement. The product is sold together with a measuring spoon.

Components of the drug in powder form:

  • potassium citrate;
  • chitosan;
  • calcium carbonate;
  • maltodextrin.

The paste is packaged in a 15 ml syringe. It is similar in composition to the powder form in that it also contains chitosan, calcium carbonate, potassium citrate and maltodextrin. The remaining components of this supplement form:

  • vitamin E;
  • soybean oil;
  • pork liver and malt extract;
  • sunflower oil;
  • glycerol monostearate.

Thanks to these forms of the drug, urine is alkalinized. The calcium they contain cannot crystallize, because... binds to potassium citrate. Against this background, the formation of stones in the animal’s kidneys is prevented.

Chitosan affects the composition of blood serum. Due to this component, the amount of cholesterol, urea, toxins and creatine is reduced. At the same time, the level of hemoglobin increases. Due to the action of chitosan, intoxication is reduced and the animal’s appetite is normalized.

Calcium carbonate reduces the bioavailability of phosphate contained in the feed. This component binds excess substances.

You can also find Renal Advanced on sale. This product is produced only in powder form. The package contains 40 g of the drug.

The active ingredients in this supplement contain:

  • fructooligosaccharides;
  • folic acid;

The bacteria included in its composition improve digestion and absorb toxins that spread in the intestines. The drug promotes:

  • synthesis of B vitamins in the body;
  • increased absorption of iron in the intestines;
  • decreased synthesis of urea in the liver;
  • increasing glomerular filtration rate;
  • protecting the integrity of kidney cells;
  • reducing oxidative stress.

Main advantages

Royal Canin food is a premium product. This brand produces many different products for animals, including medicinal ones. The food contains many useful elements, so they can even replace “natural” food.

Dry food Royal Canin Renal is prescribed during kidney treatment

Royal Canin Renal is produced specifically for animals with chronic renal failure. The food is used as dietary food. The duration of treatment is at least six months. The main advantages of the product are:

  • dietary treatment. The food is designed to support normal kidney function. The composition contains a low content of phosphorus, which is poorly excreted in such diagnoses. In addition, it contains a complex of specific antioxidants and various fatty acids. This composition slows down the development of the disease;
  • reduced load on the kidneys. The quality of the feed is high, and the amount of proteins is adjusted. Therefore, the load on the organs is significantly reduced. With an increased amount of protein in the feed, nitrogen breakdown products accumulate in the blood and lymphatic fluid;
  • restoration of metabolism. The product contains special alkalizing agents. If kidney function is impaired, a change in metabolism towards acidosis is possible. Compounds in feed help normalize metabolic balance;
  • excellent taste. Pets with kidney disease often experience loss of appetite and food intolerance. Royal Canin Renal will satisfy the needs of even the most picky cat.

For your information! The food from this line has many positive aspects, which is why veterinarians recommend it to patients with kidney disease.


The product of this brand is in the form of canned food

Mode of application

The manufacturer recommends mixing the powder with wet or dry food. In this case, the first use case is more preferable. In the second case, it is recommended to wet the food so that the additive sticks to it. The drug is given to the animal 2-3 times a day. The daily dose is calculated based on weight as follows:

  • animals weighing up to 2.5 kg - 1 scoop per day;
  • cats that weigh from 2.5 to 5 kg - 2 spoons;
  • animals weighing over 5 kg - 3 scoops per day.

The minimum course of treatment is 30 days. However, the supplement can be used over a longer period of time to improve your cat's health. The course of treatment is increased as prescribed by the doctor.

Release form

Renal Advanced for cats (instructions for use of the drug are similar to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the powder form of the supplement) are also used for 30 days. If necessary, the course of treatment can be extended. This type of supplement is used as a standalone remedy or with other drugs. It is also used in conjunction with the powder form of the product.

The additive in the form of a paste can be mixed with food or given to the animal without food. The daily dosage is calculated taking into account weight. For every 5 kg, 1 ml of paste is required. The animal should take the supplement 1-2 times a day. The course of treatment is 20-40 days. However, it can be extended as prescribed by a doctor.

All forms of the drug can be used in combination with a diet based on doctor's orders.

Feed price

Royal Canin is a premium food, so its cost is quite high. A small package (1 pouch) costs around 80 rubles.* Taking into account the fact that several of them will be needed per day, the amount will be impressive. The price of a 195 g jar of pate is approximately 130 rubles. It is more financially profitable to buy food in such packaging. However, if the animal is light in weight, or if the diet also contains dry food, then it will be difficult for him to eat such an amount per day, and it is unacceptable to store open containers for a long time.

The dry option is more economical. A pack weighing 0.5 kg costs approximately 550 rubles, a 2 kg bag costs about 2000 rubles, and a 4 kg bag costs 3300 rubles. However, according to reviews from many owners, furry pets like wet food much more, despite the fact that the specially designed structure makes the process of chewing the granules easier.


The smell of food stimulates pets' appetite

Precautions and contraindications

The only contraindication to the use of the drug is hypersensitivity to the components of the supplement. While taking the product, the condition of the animal, which is not intolerant to the ingredients, remains stable. No side effects or deterioration in the health of cats were recorded when treating kidney disease with the supplement. To avoid complications, it is recommended not to exceed the dosage.

When using the powder form of the additive, you cannot pour the product into another container. The drug must be stored in its original container. In this case, the container must be tightly closed.

All forms of the product are stored at a temperature not exceeding +25°C. They should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not use a supplement that has expired. During the treatment period, the animal should have free access to water.
