Thanks to its balanced composition, it helps to slow down the progression of kidney disease and maintain the general well-being of your feline.
This high-quality formula is designed to provide adequate nutritional intake, reducing the metabolic load on the kidneys through a controlled content of proteins and phosphorus, essential for the management of renal health.
Royal Canin Renal is enriched with antioxidants and specific nutrients that help support the immune system and improve the quality of life of cats with kidney problems.

Therapeutic Indications
Royal Canin Renal is indicated for the nutritional treatment of cats with chronic renal failure (CKD), acute kidney disease and other renal dysfunctions that require a specific diet to reduce the workload of the kidneys. The food allows you to effectively manage the concentration of phosphorus and proteins, essential for slowing down the progression of kidney disease. The set of balanced nutrients also helps reduce the accumulation of toxic substances in the blood, typical of impaired kidney function.
Furthermore, Royal Canin Renal is useful for supporting the quality of life in cats suffering from kidney disease with symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and tiredness, improving the acceptability of food thanks to its palatable and balanced composition. It is also a fundamental support in the recovery phases from acute kidney diseases or related clinical interventions.
The formulation helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance and support cardiac function indirectly associated with renal health, ensuring a holistic approach in the management of feline patients with kidney problems.
Composition
Active ingredients and key nutrients: Royal Canin Renal contains high quality proteins selected for their low phosphorus content, balanced lipids for adequate energy intake, and a mix of antioxidant vitamins. The food is enriched with EPA and DHA, Omega-3 fatty acids, known for their anti-inflammatory and protective properties on kidney cell membranes.
Furthermore, it contains a specific balance of minerals such as sodium and potassium calibrated to nourish without overloading the kidneys and cardiovascular system. The ingredients are carefully selected to ensure maximum digestibility and palatability, helping to stimulate appetite in cats with kidney failure.
The presence of soluble and insoluble fibers helps to improve the health of the gastrointestinal system, which is fundamental for the optimal absorption of nutrients and for the general well-being of the cat. The formula is free of components that can aggravate the renal load, such as high quantities of phosphorus and low-quality proteins.
Contraindications
Royal Canin Renal is not indicated for cats with unstabilised acute renal failure, growing kittens, pregnant or breastfeeding cats, as the nutritional needs in these phases are different and require a specific nutritional profile not compatible with this food.
It is also contraindicated in cases of proven allergies or intolerances to one or more components of the formula, and in conditions that require a high protein diet or other different nutritional aids prescribed by the veterinarian. Prolonged use must always be monitored by the veterinarian to ensure that the animal's individual nutritional needs are always respected.
In case of doubt, always consult a veterinary surgeon before starting or continuing the administration of the product.
Safety of the drug for the species
Royal Canin Renal is formulated in accordance with veterinary nutritional guidelines and is safe for use in cats with stable renal disease. The balanced composition avoids metabolic overloads, while the low phosphorus and protein content reduces the risk of further kidney damage.
However, it is important to regularly monitor the cat's clinical status and blood chemistry tests to maintain personalized management of nutritional therapy, adapting the diet according to the cat's clinical evolution. Indiscriminate use without veterinary supervision can lead to nutritional imbalances or suboptimal management of kidney disease.
The formula has a high level of digestibility and acceptability, minimizing the risk of food rejection and gastrointestinal side effects, common in subjects with renal failure, thus increasing compliance with the diet.
Precautions
When using Royal Canin Renal, it is essential to scrupulously follow the veterinarian's instructions for the duration and quantity of administration. The diet must not be modified with unauthorized foods or supplements without medical consent, to avoid interference with the therapeutic effects.
The dietary change must be carried out gradually to avoid gastrointestinal problems and to encourage acceptance of the new food. It is important to avoid sudden switching from one food to another.
Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, to maintain the quality and safety of the product until use. Handle with care, avoiding contamination and always maintaining hygiene during administration.
Method of administration
Royal Canin Renal must be administered according to the doses recommended by the veterinarian, adapted to the weight and clinical condition of the cat. Exclusive feeding with this product is generally recommended to maximize therapeutic benefits. It is possible to mix the dry food with warm water to stimulate the cat's appetite, especially if it has anorexia or reduced food intake.
Administration must be regular and distributed over at least two daily meals to ensure a constant supply of nutrients. It is important to avoid administering other foods or snacks not indicated, which could compromise the specific nutritional regime.
In case of doubt or changes in health conditions, contact the vet promptly for a check and possible adjustment of the diet.
Treatment program
Nutritional treatment with Royal Canin Renal is generally long-lasting and must be adapted based on the animal's clinical response and control tests. Diet is used as an integral part of overall therapy for the management of kidney disease, often in combination with specific medications prescribed by your veterinarian.
Regular monitoring of kidney function, electrolytes and nutritional status is essential to adapt the dietary plan to the cat's needs over time. In many cases, it is advisable to maintain the renal life-long diet to preserve the residual function of the kidneys and improve quality of life.
The program may vary depending on the severity of the pathology, age, general state and presence of other concomitant pathologies, always under professional veterinary supervision.
Target species
Royal Canin Renal is intended exclusively for cats, both adults and seniors, suffering from chronic renal failure or other renal pathologies that require a specific and balanced diet to support renal function and general well-being. It is not suitable for other animal species or for cats in physiological conditions that require a different diet.
It is important to follow the exclusive and specific use of the product for the indicated species to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the nutritional treatment.
