Dry food for cats with kidney disease or renal insufficiency. With reduced amounts of protein and phosphorous for easy digestion and kidney relief. Grain-free, with salmon oil and yucca schidigera.
Integra Protect Renal is a balanced dry food that addresses the specific needs of cats with renal disease or reduced kidney function. Such diseases often result from a previous illness, or can be caused by nutritional or hereditary factors. Cats with renal problems require a special diet with a reduced amount of protein and phosphorous.
Integra Protect Renal addresses the fact that these cats are typically not able to digest high levels of phosphorous and have difficulty eliminating the by-products of protein. Food too rich in protein can often risk further compromising an already hampered pair of kidneys. This is why the protein and phosphorous content of Integra Protect Renal has been reduced. The protein used is of the highest quality in order to compensate for your cat’s need to consume it in relatively small quantities. The recipe is completely grain free, making it suitable for cats with grain or gluten intolerances. It contains potato as an easily digestible and nutritious source of carbohydrates. The salmon oil helps to promote healthy skin and a glossy coat, while the inclusion of yucca schidigera naturally supports digestion and cell protection.

Large pieces
The pieces are much larger than other brands and my cat doesn't like it. That doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with this food but he just turns his nose up at it. I don't think it's the size that's bothering him, though it does seem a bit big for a senior cat. Luckily there is a good choice of other brands available here.

Quite big
My poorly siamese male who has chronic kidney disease quite liked the wet food so I purchased these biscuits but he's only got his front teeth left and he hasn't taken to these as they are quite big. If your cat is larger with all their teeth you might not experience the same dislike.

A hard no from my cat
My cat was diagnosed with crf this year & vet advised feeding renal food. I tried him with canin & hills which he ate & tried this for bit of a change & because it is grain free. He refuses to eat it to the point he picks out the other kibble if I mix it. It looks a decent composition, he obviously doesn't like the taste. We have settled on happy cat.

Integra dry food appears to be low protein, but isn't
My 18 year old cat loved this dry food, but when I checked with the vet, we discovered that the protein content was 22% - not low protein at all. The labelling needs to be clearer as it's not suitable for cats with renal disease. Far too much protein unlike the wet Integra which is low protein (about 4%) and loved by our cat

Recommend
Very few foods are accepted by my cat with kidney problems. Fortunately she likes this one!

Definitely recommended
My cat with CRF loved this food, and most importantly a few months after her diagnosis her health is returning to normal :) I would definitely recommend! Specialist food plus medication from the vet helped get my cat back on track :)

Passable
I tried this for a few months for two of my cats, and they ate them, but without much enthusiasm. Now we have moved on to Royal Canin, for which they go crazy.

Gobbled up!
Our cats have tried lots of renal diets, Hills kd, Virbac etc, and we wanted to see if we would have more success with Integra so we ordered a trial bag. After a couple of days the bag was already empty! I need to urgently re-order it, but a much larger bag this time.

Approved!
These biscuits are disappearing fast... I have a cat with kidney problems who loves them, but the other two cats always race him to the bowl for this food! Great product in my opinion. If only they would find the wet food this tasty too! Recommended :)

A Life Saver.
My recently diagnosed renal cat briefly complied with eating the renal wet food and then refused to eat anything. Luckily, the Integra dry arrived in the post just as my old boy was starting to panic with hunger. Thankfully, he is a lot happier and is now contentedly eating the dry food, and still refusing to anything else.

Easier to eat than some other dried foods
Our elderly cat doesn't have many teeth but insists on eating only dried foods. He's been struggling with the Hill's dry food because the nuggets are quite large and round. The nuggets in Integra dried food are flatter and dome shaped and he finds these much easier to eat and chew. His plate is now completely cleared after each serving!

Better
Our Burmese cat with renal problems hated all the other types of special food but eats this and the one in trays.

More palatable than most renal dry foods
I have been pleased that my 2 cats with renal conditions have accepted this food as they did not like the other brands- Hills and Royal Canin. I would recommend this for people struggling to get their cats to eat a special renal/kidney diet.
