Renal Diet

Renal diets are veterinary therapeutic-diet formulations specifically designed to support pets with chronic-kidney-disease. They are typically restricted in phosphorus, protein, and sodium, while supplementing potassium and other nutrients that failing kidneys struggle to maintain.

Key Facts

  • Recommended starting at CKD Stage II (earlier adoption improves acceptance)
  • Helps control phosphorus levels and conserve potassium
  • Low-salt formulation also benefits hypertension management
  • Available in both dry and canned formulas (prescription diets)
  • Transitioning a sick pet to a new diet can be challenging, especially with reduced-appetite
  • The earlier a renal diet is started, the more likely the pet will accept it
  • Species: dogs and cats
