Royal Canin Canine Renal Special Dog Food 2kg

Renal diets are recommended in cases of proteinuria, and once creatinine levels elevate past reference ranges in cases of nonproteinuric CKD, before inappetence develops. Renal diets may be continued for your dog’s lifetime. It is recommended that a full health check be performed every 6 months.

• Formulated to support renal function in case of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Low phosphorus level - during CKD, phosphorus is no longer eliminated effectively by the kidneys. A restriction in phosphorus is essential to slow down the development of renal disease
• Contains EPA and DHA – shown to help improve glomerular filtration rate
• Moderate protein content - helps reduce kidney workload. Excess protein consumption can lead to the formation of nitrogen waste products, which accumulate in the body fluids when renal excretory capacities are reduced
• Desirable aromatic profile with round kibble shape – stimulates the appetite and appeals to dogs with food aversion, anorexia and hyporexia
• Adapted energy content – reduces meal volume to cater for dogs with a poor appetite

Indications

• Azotemic Chronic Kidney Disease (IRIS stage 2 – stage 4)
