ROYAL CANIN Renal Feline Tuna Cat Food, 85 g (Pack of 12)

This Dry Cat food for Renal Diets is excellent, my 17 year old Cat loves it, and it’s an excellent supplement to Wet Food pouches, good value for money, High Quality limited protein so easy on the Kidneys, I would recommend this product

The cat seems happy!

We’re back on the Royal Canin Renal food again with our second CKD cat, Mackay. He is quite advanced in his CKD, down to 2.8kg from >7kg at his prime :( at this stage our priority is keeping him as well as possible but ensuring he still enjoys life, rather than trying to stick to a rigid regime as he’d stop eating altogether with plain renal food. Btw, he prefers the beef flavour over tuna or chicken but we mix it up occasionally.Our solution has been to properly mash the renal food with a fork and mix it with some baked cod and a little bit of tuna or sardines for flavour (in sunflower oil or spring water, never brine). We use a phosphorus binder (Ipakitine, available on Amazon).For his first meal of the day we mix in some slippery elm to aid his digestion (also on Amazon) and ~6 peas to encourage bowel movements. Slippery elm shouldn’t be given with any other meds or supplements as it can prevent proper absorption for a couple of hours.We find he is more inclined to drink water if we add massive ice cubes to his bowl, otherwise he’ll only drink from the tap - avoiding his luxury fountain, of course!We are currently dealing with constipation which is common in CKD cats. We’re trying Lactulose (vet recommended and used before) but this never seems to work for long and it’s pretty sticky, a nightmare in fur. The best solution we’ve had (for severe constipation) in the past is glycerin suppositories *for babies* - also on Amazon! Not pleasant, but it works.Final little tip would be to invest in Oralade (ALSO ON AMAZON). Our previous CKD, hyperthyroid cat had a few “crashes” in his last year where he was on the verge of death, not eating at all and barely functioning. Horrendous. The Oralade got him through those moments until he bounced back. It can be given via syringe, hydrates and offers basic nutrition. Get it in advance so it’s ready when you need it.To all the CKD carers out there - good luck! It’s a tricky, painful and confusing journey, never knowing what’s best or how our furballs are really feeling. Just do what you feel is best and know that if you’re spending time on here, reading reviews about renal food, you’re a loving owner and they’re lucky to have you.

Cat loves it so that’s all that matters

Gr8 value my cat luvs it

My cat doesn't really like this one he will eat abit but he would rather have the loaf. The peaces are small tho if your cats problems with there teeth like mine. As his a very old boy.

My cats both have renal problems and are having difficulty keeping senior cat food down. This seller provides short notice, fast delivery on this product. I'm very happy with my purchase, and my cats really enjoy it.

My 16 year old cat Bella loves this and will not eat any other renal wet food. When she gets a bit bored of 1 flavour she happily changes to another in the variety. It looks appetising and smells fresh. Good value multipack I would definately recommend if you have an elderly cat who is a fussy eater with renal problems.
