We're sorry that your cat has kidney problems. Even though cats are meat eaters, any cat that has kidney disease must eat a meat-restricted diet. Phosphorous is damaging to the kidney and all meats and fish contain high amounts of phosphorous. Since our foods contain high levels of meat and fish, they are not appropriate for a cat with kidney disease.

Omega 3 fatty acids are recommended for cats with kidney disease. Our Skin & Coat offers a palatable way to give a cat fish oil. The chewable capsules break up readily, you can even mix it with food. You can also use our ultra-pure Fish Oil, added a tiny amount into your cats food, increasing slowly.

Last, Cornell Feline Health Center is one of the leading authorities on feline medicine. If you or your veterinarian calls 1-800-kittydr, they will discuss your cat’s case for a small fee.
