Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Feline NF ST/OX Renal Function Advanced Care Mousse - 24 x 195g

Chronic renal insufficiency is a progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time. This can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body, electrolyte imbalances, and other health problems.

In cats with kidney disease, the kidneys have trouble removing phosphorus from the blood. High phosphorus levels can accelerate kidney damage and worsen the disease. This diet helps manage phosphorus levels.

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, can help reduce inflammation in the kidneys and potentially slow the progression of kidney disease. They may also help improve blood flow to the kidneys.

No, this is a specialized veterinary diet formulated for specific medical conditions. Feeding it to a healthy cat could be detrimental to their health due to its restricted nutrient profile.

You should take your pet to the vet for a check-up at least every 6 months, or as frequently as your veterinarian recommends, to monitor their health and the effectiveness of the diet.

If your pet's health worsens while using this product, please seek veterinary advice immediately. This could indicate a need for a change in treatment or diet.

It is best to avoid adding other foods or supplements unless specifically instructed by your veterinarian. This diet is precisely balanced to meet your cat's needs, and additions could interfere with its therapeutic effects.

Ensure the food is served at room temperature. Try warming it slightly (do not microwave). Consult your veterinarian, as appetite loss can be a symptom of worsening kidney disease or other issues. Your vet may suggest combining it with a small amount of veterinarian-approved topper or trying a different veterinary diet.

This can happen if the food is introduced too quickly. Gradually transition to the new diet over 7-10 days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old food. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Always refrigerate opened mousse in an airtight container and use within the recommended 24-48 hour timeframe. Do not leave food out at room temperature for extended periods.
