FAQs
Do I need a prescription for this food?
Yes, this is a veterinary therapeutic diet intended to manage specific health conditions, and should only be fed under the guidance of a veterinarian.
Can I feed this to my healthy, younger cat?
No. This food is specifically balanced for renal health and does not contain the appropriate nutrient profile for growth, gestation, or lactation.
How long will my cat need to stay on this diet?
Typically, this is a long-term dietary management tool. Consult your veterinarian for re-evaluation schedules based on your cat's IRIS stage.
Is this food low in phosphorus?
Yes, it is formulated with restricted phosphorus levels, which is a key component in supporting cats with chronic kidney disease.
Can I mix this with dry renal food?
Mixing with the matching dry Royal Canin Renal diet is often recommended to provide textural variety, but only do so under veterinary supervision.
What should I do if my cat stops eating entirely?
Sudden loss of appetite can be a symptom of a health crisis in renal patients; contact your veterinarian immediately.
Troubleshooting
My cat refuses to eat the food.
Try warming the pouch slightly in a bowl of warm water to enhance the aroma, or consult your vet about a transition strategy.
My cat is experiencing soft stools during the transition.
Slow down the transition period, taking 10-14 days instead of 7 to allow the digestive system to adapt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success with this diet, always store the pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once a pouch is opened, it should be served immediately; unused portions can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in a sealed container, but should be brought to room temperature before the next serving.
Compatibility is critical; this food is specifically formulated for renal health and should not be mixed with other types of cat food unless directed by your veterinarian. Because this diet affects blood chemistry, ensure your cat has constant access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is the primary partner to this renal support strategy. Always schedule regular blood work with your veterinarian to monitor how your cat is responding to the dietary change.
