Renal Canin Renal Diet Food for Cats

Product descriptionRoyal Canin Renal Special Feline Veterinary diet for cats in chronic renal failure. Complete dry food for adult cats with reduced appetite is designed to protect kidney function in acute or chronic renal failure. The product formula is specially designed to support kidney function in chronic renal failure. It is low in phosphorus, contains antioxidants, EPA and DHA fatty acids. In chronic renal failure, the kidneys lose their ability to excrete phosphorus properly. The low amount of phosphorus in the product slows down the development of the disease. The rate of glomerular filtration increases when a diet with adapted fish oil content (a source of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA) is fed. Overloading the kidneys can lead to a uremic crisis. High-quality and adapted protein content helps reduce the burden on the kidneys. If the amount of protein in the feed significantly exceeds the minimum requirements, the excretory function of the kidneys decreases, nitrogen decomposition products accumulate in biological fluids. CKD can cause metabolic acidosis, so it contains alkalizing substances. Kidneys play an important role in maintaining acid-alkaline balance. Impairment of kidney function reduces the ability to remove hydrogen ions and reabsorb bicarbonate ions, and therefore the risk of metabolic acidosis increases. Loss of appetite, food intolerance and anorexia are quite common in animals with chronic kidney failure. A specially designed aroma profile helps satisfy your cat's specific taste preferences.
