Full details
Royal Canin Renal is a specialized therapeutic diet designed specifically for adult dogs diagnosed with Chronic Renal Insufficiency. Its primary benefit is supporting kidney health through a carefully controlled nutrient profile, including low phosphorus and high-quality protein to reduce renal workload. A key caveat is that this is a veterinary-prescribed diet, and it should only be fed under the guidance of a veterinarian to ensure it meets your dog's specific medical needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning to this diet should only occur after a formal diagnosis by your veterinarian.
- Gradual Transition: Mix increasing amounts of Royal Canin Renal with your dog's previous food over 7 days.
- Fresh Water: Always ensure clean, fresh water is available at all times, which is essential for dogs with renal issues.
- Storage: Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain the efficacy of the aromatic profile and the freshness of the fats.
- Consistency: Do not add excessive treats or table scraps, as these may contain high phosphorus levels that can counteract the benefits of the therapeutic diet.
