My cat loves it, other cats would come and steal his food so they went through it very fast. My renal cat overall feels ok on this food (not vomiting, active, in good mood), but does have a gastric problem after the food. And it's not only him, other cats have the same issue, so unfortunately have to find other renal options which is not easy, as i tried nearly every renal food on platform and my cat likes only 4 of them but gets bored with them easily and likes to change.

Merlin is 21 years old and has recently been diagnosed with renal problems , this plus medication has helped him gain weight and be very kittenish again .Thank you

Ordered as I needed renal food for my 13yo cat. She has PKD. She is very fussy, but loves dry food. I opened these and thought god this smells awful! But I was pleasantly surprised. Filled her bowl and she ran straight over, clearly very keen from the smell and polished it all off! Even the other cat is super interested and I'm having to isolate one from the other to feed. Very happy.

Our cat was very sick for a few days and blood tests confirmed stage 2 kidney failure and the vet advised changing his food to a special diet. Our cat is very fussy and has had the same dry food since a kitten and has refused to eat different brands so we were very concerned about this. He loved it! After a few days his energy is better than it has been for years, he has been running around the house and climbing on furniture. We’re very happy with the changes.

I was worried about transferring my 15-year-old cat onto this new diet (on the vet's recommendation) when he was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease eight months ago. I thought he might find it less palatable than his usual favourite Senior Iams - however, he switched straight over to the new diet without any fuss and clearly enjoyed it just as much. Still does, and it seems to be helping his kidney test results.

My cat was given a heartbreaking Feline Kidney disease diagnosis in July 2018 and expected to have just a few weeks to live due to her blood results being completely off the charts. We immediately switched her to this food and she took to it immediately and ended up surviving and thriving on it for another 2 years and sadly passed away at the end of august 2020.

Wondering if the recipe has changed this year, as all 3 of my cats have been itching on this diet. One in particular, who is more sensitive, has started losing fur on her chin and ears. They’ve never had problems on this diet before, and have been on it for years. I have treated them twice for fleas and mites this past month, and have done an extraordinary amount of dusting during lockdown, so I can only imagine it’s their food that’s affecting them. Probably all the wheat!

We tried various dietary foods for our cat as he was being sick alot and had dodgy stomach, but nothing seemed to fix it. He was also dropping weight alot because of this. Further tests showed that his renal behaviour was lower than it should be so we were advised by our vets to try these. Wow, what a difference!! Firstly we were warned that he might not like the taste, yet wolfed them down!!! And secondly he kept them down, his sickness became less and poos became solid again. Very impressed!

First my cat vomited then just stopped eating it almost all together. She became lethargic and won't come down the stairs to meet me. Not sure this is the best food for all kidney disease cats.

Vet advised a dry food to go with the wet renal royal canin sachets that we are already using. Our bengal girl instantly took to the food and only a small amount seemed to fill her up. She is comfortable going back as / when she wants another mouthful and the food doesn't smell strongly like some of the other renal ones do. All in all she seems to find it quite tasty.

I have 2 sixteen year old cats, one of whom had renal failure. Bought this as vet said specialist renal diet might help turn his kidneys around. It was a success - I tried all 3 RCV formulations as renal cats can be very fussy eaters. They ate it heartily & it seemed to be joint favourite. out of the the 3 RCV varieties. Can't comment on efficacy for renal support, as Kaspar died from kidney failure within a few weeks of my purchase.

my older cat used to eat it happily during 3 years of his renal illness. the other cat (healthy) was also fine with it.

My lovely choosy Cat [nearly 17] was diagnosed with Kidney failure last year and after some trials I have found this variety suits her very well ... kind to her stomach and tasty too, perfect!

Our 11 year old cat was diagnosed with renal failure a year ago. She is extremely fussy and will not eat any of the wet renal foods. She loves these biscuits and even more since they have changed the shape to discs for some reason.

My Ragdoll was very very ill and diagnosed with kidney failure, she was on the brink, my vet brought her back to life, now she eats this like there's no tomorrow she is a really fussy eater but no problem with this. jst wish it was not so expensive.

I have two over 10-year-old cats. The vet reported the girl had a kidney disease, and recommended either Royal Canin or Hill's Prescription Diet foods. I tried both, and this Royal Canin food was the one that was A) a complete hit among both of the cats (you know if you have two cats there is no way to prevent them eating each others' food) and B) my sick cat's kidney values went back to normal in 6 months! She is still alive and well after two years. Happy days, healthy food!

Fat's had -50% renal function when diagnosed, he was placed on this, with the associated wet food diet and recieved a pill each day. The vet gave him two years, however he lived two more years than the vet forcast (19 years) and without any issues or further treatment. I was strict with the food and he lived indoors. It is an expensive diet but well worth it.

We have 3 cats, one of them is 15 years old, another 8 and the last one is 4 but has been having severe renal problems since he was born. We chose Renal with our vet for all of them. The reason is simple, kidney/renal issues are the main reason of death in house cats, may the issues be given by old age or by genetic disorders, Royal Canin Renal, has helped us avoid this and kept the little dude, that was given only 2 years of life, alive and well for 4! We are really happy of this product. We wish it could cost slightly less, for all those people like us that decide to adopt kittens that have issues to give them a good life anyway and sometimes go through a lot of expenses to do that, that said, i seriously recommend it, good for all ages, my dude's are in great shape! :-)

One of our 4 cats was recently diagnosis with renal problems. We found that separating him from the others was problematic as each cat wanted to eat the others' food. The dry cat food meant we can leave a bowl of this out for all to eat (vet says it will not harm the others). The one's who don't need to eat seem to prefer the renal food, and typically the one who should be eating it is trying to eat the other food... No idea how effective it is medically as his next blood test is not for a week.

There used to be a dry food with crunchy pockets for older cats. All of mine loved eating it. After RC switched to different kibbles, they stopped eating it. RC told me about this food now with crunchy pockets. Now everyone’s happy again. It surely won’t do any harm. Apparently, sometimes it’s less about the taste and more about the crunchy pockets.

I bought them on my vet's advice, my pets eat them gladly and they're specially made for those with health issues.

The kibble has really helped improve my cat's health.

Unfortunately, that kibble doesn't suit him. He's British.

Our tomcat has health problems, so he has to use this food and he's very happy with it.

He is very satisfied with these kibbles.

Very good, less trouble with kidney grit, he has to eat this on the vet's orders.

Very good

My little 11-year-old kitty with kidney failure has regained her appetite thanks to these kibbles, recommended by the vet, which I combine with Royal Canin Renal wet food in gravy that she absolutely loves! We haven’t done any more blood tests since she started on them, but she seems to be doing really well! Thank you to Zooplus for the fast delivery and the prices, which are much better than at the vet’s.

The most important thing is that the renal veterinary food is completely eaten by the cats, so the treatment is moving forward.
