Product Description
Royal Canin's "Renal Select" product is a complete dietetic dry food for cats, specifically formulated to support renal function in case of chronic renal failure. This food is designed to help reduce the workload on the kidneys, with a reduced level of phosphorus and a moderate content of high-quality protein. These characteristics are essential for improving the quality of life of cats affected by this condition.
Furthermore, "Renal Select" is useful in managing the formation of oxalate stones, thanks to the low concentration of calcium and vitamin D and the alkalizing properties of urine. The specific formula helps prevent the risks of further kidney complications, while offering complete and balanced nutrition.
To stimulate appetite, often reduced in cats with kidney failure, the product has an attractive aromatic profile and a kibble shape specially designed to be particularly palatable, even for cats with food aversion.
Key Benefits
"Renal Select" offers numerous health benefits for cats, including supporting kidney function by limiting phosphorus in the diet. The selected high-quality proteins help reduce the renal load, while maintaining the cat's muscle mass.
The formula also helps control uric acid levels, reducing the risk of kidney stones due to its ability to alkalize urine. This is especially important for cats that are predisposed to the formation of oxalate stones.
The improved flavor profile and specific shape of the kibble aim to overcome food aversion, encouraging cats to consume their meal regularly and thus ensuring a constant intake of essential nutrients.
Therapeutic Indications
"Renal Select" is indicated for cats with chronic renal failure. It is formulated to reduce the formation of oxalate stones, support kidney function and improve your cat's overall quality of life. This product should be used under the supervision of a veterinarian, as part of a comprehensive dietary approach to managing kidney health.
It is important to note that this food is not suitable for kittens, pregnant or lactating cats, as their nutritional needs differ significantly from those of adult cats with kidney failure.
Composition and Formulation
“Renal Select” contains high-quality ingredients that have been chosen for their specific beneficial properties for kidney health. The reduced phosphorus content helps limit further kidney damage, while high quality proteins are selected to prevent excessive kidney load without compromising nutrition.
The low concentration of calcium and vitamin D helps reduce the risk of oxalate stone formation, while the alkalizing properties of urine help maintain an optimal urinary pH.
The formula is enriched with a specific aromatic profile and a kibble shape which increases the palatability of the product, essential for cats with reduced appetite due to their condition.
Method of Administration
The daily amount of "Renal Select" should be adjusted based on the weight and condition of the cat, always following the veterinarian's instructions. It is important to ensure that your cat always has access to fresh, clean water.
For cats with food aversion, "Renal Select" can be mixed with small amounts of wet food to further increase palatability and stimulate appetite.
