FAQs

Do I need a prescription to buy this food?

Yes, this is a veterinary diet. It should only be fed under the direct supervision and recommendation of your veterinarian.

Can I feed this to my kitten?

No. This food is formulated for adult cats and does not meet the nutritional requirements for growing kittens.

Is it safe to mix this with dry food?

Royal Canin offers a complementary dry version of this diet. Consult your veterinarian regarding the correct mixed-feeding ratio for your cat's specific health needs.

How long should my cat remain on this diet?

Renal diets are typically intended for long-term management of chronic conditions. Your veterinarian will determine the duration based on regular blood work and health checkups.

Are there other flavors available?

Yes, the Royal Canin Renal line also includes beef and fish formulations if your cat prefers variety.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the food

Try slightly warming the food to enhance its aroma or mix with a small amount of warm water. Consult your vet if food aversion persists.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition period. Increase the ratio of the old food and extend the introduction phase over a longer timeframe.

  • Energy-dense formula helps manage weight despite reduced appetite
  • Supports overall health with antioxidants and EPA/DHA

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before introducing this diet, a full assessment by your veterinarian is essential to confirm the diagnosis and ensure this is the appropriate therapeutic route. Transitioning should be done gradually over 5-7 days by mixing the new renal food with the previous diet to prevent gastrointestinal upset. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available, as hydration is critical for cats with renal conditions. Store the 85g pouches in a cool, dry place and refrigerate any uneaten portions promptly, though they should be served at room temperature thereafter.
