Therapeutic Indications
Royal Canin Renal Cat Special is mainly indicated for the nutritional support of cats suffering from chronic renal failure (CKD). Kidney failure is a progressive and irreversible condition that can affect your cat's quality of life, causing symptoms such as loss of appetite, increased thirst, vomiting and weight loss. This specific food is formulated to slow the progression of the disease through targeted dietary management that helps limit the workload on the kidneys.
Phosphorus and protein control is crucial to limit the accumulation of toxins and reduce the formation of nephrotoxic waste products. Inoltre, l’integrazione di acidi grassi omega-3 contribuisce sia a ridurre l’infiammazione renale sia a favorire la salute cardiovascolare, spesso compromessa nei gatti con IRC.
This diet is also indicated for the prevention and management of complications associated with compromised renal function, such as hypertension and oxidative tissue damage, thanks to the targeted supply of antioxidants and cellular protective substances.
Composition
Royal Canin Renal Cat Special contains a balanced composition of nutrients that respects the needs of cats with renal failure. It is formulated with high quality proteins and reduced quantities, to optimize digestion and reduce the production of metabolic waste which will put less strain on the kidneys. The food is enriched with controlled phosphorus to prevent further kidney damage and to maintain mineral balance.
Essential fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, help modulate the inflammatory response and protect kidney cells. The presence of antioxidants such as vitamin E and C helps fight oxidative stress, promoting general health and slowing down the degeneration of kidney cells.
Other ingredients include selected fibers to improve digestion, support intestinal health and maintain proper gastrointestinal function, which is essential for cats with CKD who are often prone to digestive problems and weight loss.
Contraindications
Do not use Royal Canin Renal Gatto Special in cats with pathologies other than chronic renal failure without veterinary consultation. It is not recommended for growing cats, pregnant or breastfeeding cats, as the nutritional needs in these phases are different and require a richer and more balanced diet to support the development and health of the offspring.
It is important to avoid prolonged use without veterinary advice, as a low-protein and phosphorus-restricted diet may not be suitable for all clinical conditions and could cause nutritional imbalances if not monitored correctly.
In case of other concomitant pathologies, such as liver disease or metabolic conditions, it is necessary to consult a veterinarian to evaluate the appropriateness of using this specific diet.
Safety of the drug for the species
Royal Canin Renal Cat Special is safe for use in cats with chronic renal failure when administered according to veterinary indications. It does not contain pharmacological substances but is formulated as a therapeutic diet with carefully selected ingredients to support the cat's kidney function and general health.
To obtain the best therapeutic results and ensure safety, regular monitoring of the cat's clinical status and blood and urine tests is recommended, in order to evaluate renal function during dietary treatment.
The diet can be administered long-term under veterinary supervision, ensuring adequate nutritional intake and preventing any deficiencies or imbalances that could arise following incorrect dietary management.
Precautions
Before starting the administration of Royal Canin Renal Gatto Special it is essential to consult a veterinarian for a precise diagnosis and to plan a personalized and monitored nutritional plan. The food must be introduced gradually to avoid digestive problems and encourage acceptance by the cat.
