Product Information
Full details
Royal Canin Veterinary Renal wet dog food is a specialized therapeutic diet designed for adult dogs diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or renal insufficiency. By providing a low-phosphorus formula and high-quality, moderate protein levels, it helps reduce the workload on the kidneys while maintaining overall body condition. It is an excellent choice for dogs struggling with a reduced appetite due to kidney-related discomfort, though it must be used under strict veterinary supervision and is not intended for dogs without diagnosed renal conditions.

FAQs
Do I need a prescription to buy this food?
Yes, this is a veterinary-exclusive diet that requires authorization from your veterinarian.
Can I feed this to my puppy?
No, this formula is specifically balanced for adult dogs and does not meet the growth requirements for puppies.
Is this food high or low in protein?
It contains a moderate amount of high-quality protein to support maintenance without overwhelming the kidneys.
How long can my dog stay on this diet?
This is often a long-term nutritional management strategy; consult your veterinarian for the duration based on your dog's blood work.
Can I mix this with kibble?
Yes, it is designed to be fed alone or in combination with Royal Canin Renal dry kibble.
Why is the phosphorus content lower in this food?
Kidneys with reduced function struggle to filter phosphorus from the blood; limiting dietary phosphorus helps prevent the buildup of toxins.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Ensure the transition period is extended to 10-14 days by gradually increasing the ratio of the new food while decreasing the old diet.
Digestive upset during transition
Pause the transition and revert to the previous diet until symptoms subside, then resume the mix-in process at a slower pace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be covered and refrigerated for no more than 48 hours. When feeding, always ensure your dog has constant access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is critical for dogs with kidney concerns. This product is fully compatible with other Royal Canin Renal dry formulas, allowing you to create a mixed feeding regimen that provides both hydration from the wet food and the dental benefits of kibble.
