How Marro Supports Kidney Health in Cats
While Marro isn’t suitable for cats with chronic kidney disease, our hydrating, nutrient-rich meals can help support kidney health as part of prevention and overall wellbeing for healthy cats.
We always recommend to always consult your vet about dietary advice if you have any concerns, to always give your feline friend the best option for them.

High-Quality Nutrients
Packed with ingredients to support the immune system and overall health.
Balanced Diet
Perfect for healthy cats to help reduce strain on kidneys over time.
Extra Care Tip: Always provide fresh water and avoid toxins (e.g., lilies, antifreeze, certain medications) that can harm kidneys.
Understanding Kidney Disease in Cats
Occurs when kidneys can’t filter waste effectively, leading to toxin buildup.
Types:
Acute Kidney Disease: Sudden onset, often from poisoning, infections, or trauma; potentially reversible.
Chronic Kidney Disease: Progressive, common in older cats; can’t be cured but can be managed.
Early Signs to Watch For:
Increased thirst and urination
Weight loss or reduced appetite
Lethargy or weakness
Vomiting or diarrhea
Bad breath or mouth ulcers
Poor coat condition
Common Risk Factors:
Age (older cats more prone)
Genetics (e.g., Persians, Abyssinians)
Diet (low-quality food strains kidneys)
Infections (bacterial/viral)
Toxins (certain plants, antifreeze, medications)
Other health conditions (hypertension, diabetes, hyperthyroidism)
Diagnosis & Management:
Typically involves check-ups, blood tests, urine tests, and scans.
Cats with chronic kidney disease may require a kidney-friendly diet that is low in protein but high in quality ingredients.
