Product Information

Full details

Royal Canin Renal Select is a specifically formulated dry food designed to support adult cats diagnosed with Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CKD). The primary benefit of this diet is its ability to help manage kidney function through a controlled phosphorus and high-quality protein content. However, it's crucial to consult with your veterinarian before use, as this food is intended for cats with diagnosed kidney issues and is not a general preventative measure. It's available in several formulations including dry and wet food options.

FAQs

What is Royal Canin Renal Select for?

Royal Canin Renal Select is a veterinary diet specifically formulated to support adult cats with Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CKD).

Can I give this to my kitten?

No, Royal Canin Renal Select is formulated for adult cats and is not suitable for kittens. Always consult your vet.

Can I feed this to my cat if they do not have kidney issues?

No, this food is specifically formulated for cats with diagnosed kidney problems. It is not intended for general use.

How long should my cat eat this food?

The duration of use should be determined by your veterinarian. Often, it is recommended for the cat's lifetime with regular check-ups.

Is wet food better than dry food for cats with kidney problems?

Both wet and dry versions are available. The best choice depends on your cat's preferences and your vet's recommendation. The wet food can help increase fluid intake, which is beneficial for kidney health.

How often should I take my cat for check-ups while they are on this diet?

Regular check-ups with your veterinarian are essential. The frequency will depend on your cat's condition, but it is typically recommended every 6-12 months.

Where can I buy Royal Canin Renal Select?

Royal Canin Renal Select is available through veterinary clinics and pet supply stores, both online and in person. A prescription from your vet is not always required, but it is recommended to get guidance from your vet.

My cat has a poor appetite. Will this food help?

Royal Canin Renal Select is designed to be highly palatable to encourage eating, which can help cats with reduced appetites due to kidney issues. Also, it's available in wet food form to stimulate appetite further.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the food.

Try mixing the dry food with the wet food version of Royal Canin Renal Select, or slightly moisten the dry kibble with water. Consult your vet to rule out any other underlying issues.

Cat is losing weight despite eating the food.

Consult your veterinarian. The cat may need a higher food intake or require additional care. Ensure that the food portions are appropriate for your cat's weight and activity level.

Digestive issues (vomiting, diarrhea).

Introduce the food gradually. If the problem persists, consult your veterinarian, as it could indicate an intolerance or a need for a different formulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed to support cats with Chronic Renal Insufficiency.
  • Helps manage kidney workload through controlled phosphorus levels.
  • High-quality protein helps reduce strain on the kidneys.
  • Enhanced palatability encourages eating in cats with reduced appetites or food aversion.
  • Available in both dry and wet formulations to cater to individual preferences.

Cons

  • Requires a veterinary diagnosis and recommendation for use.
  • Not suitable for kittens, pregnant, or lactating cats.
  • May not be effective if not used as directed by a veterinarian.

  • Transitioning to a new food can sometimes be challenging for cats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Transitioning: When introducing Royal Canin Renal Select, transition gradually over 5-7 days. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with the cat's current food, and slowly increase the proportion of Renal Select each day.
  2. Feeding Guidelines: Follow the feeding guidelines provided on the packaging, based on your cat's weight and condition. Adjust the amount as recommended by your veterinarian.
  3. Water: Always ensure fresh water is available. Cats with kidney issues need to stay well-hydrated.
  4. Storage: Store the food in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag properly to maintain freshness.
  5. Veterinary Check-ups: Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial to monitor your cat's condition and adjust the diet as needed.
