FAQs
Can I feed this to my kitten?
No, this diet is not suitable for growth, gestation, or lactation, and should only be fed to adult cats under veterinary supervision.
Do I need a prescription to buy this?
Yes, Royal Canin Renal diets are veterinary-exclusive products and should only be used under the guidance of a veterinary professional.
Why is the phosphorus content lower?
Lower phosphorus levels are critical for cats with renal insufficiency because compromised kidneys cannot filter phosphorus effectively, which can lead to complications.
How long will my cat need to stay on this diet?
Typically, this is a long-term dietary management plan, but the duration should be determined solely by your veterinarian based on your cat's health status.
Can I mix this with dry food?
Yes, you can combine this with Royal Canin Renal dry kibble, provided your veterinarian approves the mix and the total caloric intake is managed.
Troubleshooting
My cat refuses to eat the new food.
Try warming the food slightly or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma, but consult your vet if your cat stops eating for more than 24 hours.
My cat has digestive upset after the switch.
Ensure you are transitioning slowly over a full week; if the issue persists, contact your veterinarian to discuss potential digestive sensitivities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Consult your veterinarian before starting this diet to ensure it is appropriate for your cat's specific bloodwork and renal stage. Transitioning to this food should be done gradually over 7 to 10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with their previous diet. Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any uneaten food should be covered and refrigerated, but it should be brought to room temperature before serving to maximize its scent and appeal.
