Royal Canin Renal is a complete dietetic food for dogs, specifically formulated to support renal function in dogs suffering from chronic renal failure (CKD). This product is indicated for the nutritional management of dogs with kidney problems, helping to reduce the workload on the kidneys and improve your pet's quality of life.
The food contains an optimal balance of high-quality proteins, reduced to limit the production of toxic nitrogen metabolites, and a regulated content of phosphorus to help slow the progression of kidney disease.
Enriched with selected antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, this product helps fight oxidative stress associated with kidney disease, helping to protect kidney cells and improve the dog's immune response.
Therapeutic Indications
Royal Canin Renal is indicated for nutritional support in dogs suffering from chronic renal failure, a condition characterized by a progressive loss of kidney function. The product is formulated to help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease through a specific diet that reduces the workload on the kidneys.
It can also be used in case of other diseases affecting the urinary system that require rigorous control of the protein and mineral balance, such as proteinuria, or in the post-operative phases of renal pathologies.
The diet promotes the maintenance of an adequate nutritional status and the balanced management of nutrient intake, in order to improve the quality of life and tolerance of treatment in the long term.
Among its main functions, the product supports renal function, controls the content of phosphorus and proteins to limit the worsening of the disease and makes a significant contribution to the reduction of oxidative stress, frequent in patients with CKD.
Composition
This food is made from a selected blend of high quality ingredients, designed to meet the specific needs of dogs with kidney problems. The proteins are moderate, but highly digestible, with the aim of limiting the production of toxic nitrogen compounds and supporting the muscles.
Phosphorus content is strictly controlled to promote kidney health and prevent worsening of kidney conditions. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil help modulate inflammation and maintain vascular function.
The product is enriched with a combination of antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, lutein and polyphenolic complexes to counteract the oxidative damage typical of chronic kidney disease.
Additional components include fiber to improve digestion and intestinal well-being, balanced minerals to control electrolyte balance, essential vitamins and a balanced intake of fats and carbohydrates to provide energy without overloading damaged organs.
Contraindications
This product should not be used in dogs with acute renal failure, as the nutritional needs in these situations are different and require specific veterinary management. It is also contraindicated in puppies, pregnant or lactating females and dogs with metabolic problems that require special diets other than the one proposed.
It is not recommended as a single food in animals that do not have kidney problems as the protein and mineral restriction may not be suitable for healthy dogs or with other pathological conditions.
It is important to avoid administering this product without the supervision of a veterinary doctor, who will be able to correctly evaluate the patient's clinical conditions and indicate the most appropriate use of food in the management of the pathology.
Safety of the drug for the species
Royal Canin Renal is formulated specifically for dogs and fully respects their nutritional needs even in pathological conditions. Despite this, it is essential to frequently monitor the patient's clinical and laboratory response to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the diet.
The ingredients used are selected and tested to minimize the risk of intolerances or adverse reactions. However, every dog is different and some specific individual conditions may require nutritional changes or additional treatment measures.
Administration must be carried out continuously and under veterinary supervision, hopefully integrated with other medical and pharmacological treatments for complete support of the renal patient.
Precautions
It is essential to carefully follow your veterinary surgeon's instructions regarding the quantities and duration of treatment with Royal Canin Renal. The gradual introduction of the product into the dog's diet avoids gastrointestinal problems and promotes acceptance of food.
If vomiting, diarrhea or any other sign of intolerance or clinical deterioration appears, consult your veterinarian immediately. The food must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat and humidity to keep its nutritional properties unaltered.
Do not use as a replacement for pharmacological therapies without the advice of your veterinarian. It is advisable to prevent the dog from consuming other foods or snacks that are not specific to his condition, so as not to compromise the effectiveness of the therapeutic diet.
Finally, correct hydration is essential in dogs with kidney failure, so always ensure the availability of fresh, clean water.
Method of administration
Royal Canin Renal must be administered according to the indications of the veterinarian, who will define the daily quantity based on the weight, clinical condition and activity level of the dog. The food can be offered dry or rehydrated with warm water to facilitate chewing and digestion, especially in elderly or debilitated subjects.
It is important to maintain a constant dietary routine, always offering meals at the same time and respecting the prescribed doses to ensure maximum effectiveness of the nutritional treatment.
In case of refusal of the product, it is possible to mix it with small quantities of permitted wet foods, always under veterinary supervision, to stimulate the appetite.
Administration must be exclusive, avoiding integrations with other foods that could alter the balance of the diet and interfere with the desired effects on the control of kidney disease.
Treatment program
Nutritional treatment with Royal Canin Renal is generally continuous and long-term, with the aim of supporting renal function and improving the quality of life of the dog suffering from chronic renal failure. The duration of treatment is established by the veterinarian based on the patient's clinical evolution.
Periodic checks, which include blood chemistry tests and clinical evaluations, are essential to monitor the response to treatment and make any changes to the diet or overall therapy.
In advanced cases or with associated complications, the veterinarian can integrate this nutritional program with drugs or other specific therapies in order to optimize the management of the pathology and guarantee the dog the best possible well-being.
It is important not to interrupt or modify the nutritional treatment on your own, as constant and adequate management is the key to success in the treatment of dogs with kidney disease.
Target species
This product is intended exclusively for dogs suffering from chronic renal failure or related renal diseases, for therapeutic and dietary purposes. It is not indicated for other animal species or for dogs without specific kidney problems. The composition and nutritional profile are designed to meet the specific needs and physiology of the dog, contributing to the maintenance of renal function and the management of the pathology in a targeted and safe way.
