Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Cat Renal Dry Food 4kg

My "super senior" cat with kidney disease loves this one! We've had to buy a dinner plate just for him for this food though, as the pieces are quite small and gulpable.. Spreading the food out has slowed the eating down and made him chew as he goes. Everyone wins! Thought I'd share our experience in case anyone else has encountered the same, as I did initially fear the regurgitation was illness related or a bad reaction.

I have given my lovely cat the 'Renal Select' alongside the other choices in the Royal Canin feline Renal diet - I add a little water and give him his medicine in the Renal 'with chicken' pouches and then I ad-lib feed him the three dry diets. I understand that they're not going to be as palatable as his previous 'ordinary' food and I cannot specifically comment on 'Select' other than to say it's chosen by my cat as often as the other two (the original 'Renal' and the 'Renal Special') and I feel that it gives him some variety. What I can say is that the Royal Canin feline renal diet and the prescribed drug 'Semintra' have, thankfully, really improved my 9 year-old cat's creatine and urea levels - and he's gained a little weight!

I realise that he is hopefully not at an advanced stage, and has only recently been diagnosed, but his levels were previously high and I am really grateful to get him onto this diet at this relatively early stage in his disease; it's already made a big difference! On the advice of my vet, I will be sticking with this diet.

My 18 years old male cat has been on a combination of wet and dry renal royal canin food for two and a half years. He prefers wet food, but eats biscuits as well. I believe he had acute kidney disease caused by dehydration while he had a stroke. Before we started he was constantly thirsty and running for a wee that much one could see he is tired of it. With renal diet his thirst reduced and now is at 2-3 on scale where 0 is normal and 10 is him with his thirst at worst. It was a slow process, it took around a year to reverse. I noticed if I feed him non prescription diet for two or more days i a row, his condition worsens and thirst increases. So I am convinced that this diet extended his life for two years and counting...

All in all tasty and works.
