Avatar n tn Fussie Cat states low protein and low phosphorus in their advertising. The premium chicken and vegetables with gravy is supposed to be good for cats with kidney disease. Also HI-TOR Neo cat food.
1356964 tn?1302087435 When a cat eats a wet food diet their urine output is double compared to a cat on a dry food diet. This is good for their bladder health. Dry foods can lead to obesity in animals, which then can lead to Diabetes due to the high carb amounts in food. "but dry food cleans my cat's better than wet food"..False, Studies have shown there is NO difference between dry/wet diet for animals dental health.Cats generally do not "chew" their food like humans do..
Avatar f tn Hi. I bought a wet cat food that boasts "low magnesium" as one of its benefits. I was just wondering why this would be a good thing for a cat.
Avatar f tn m sorry to hear about your kitty. The k/d canned is high in protein, low in phosphorus and low in salt. A good diet for kidney failure. I hope he will like it. Wishing you and kitty the best.
1358341 tn?1282209843 it protects both kidney with low protein and low phosphorus and bowel with psyllium husk that aids both diarrhea and constipation. After 18yo, cats should eat something that is usefull for both kidney values and stomach & bowel sensitivity. Because they all get CRF and all suffer from various digestion problems (exigent/allergic/sensitive cats, constipation, diarrhea, IBS...) probably due to cereals (maize, etc.
Avatar f tn What I have learned is feed the cat food it will eat and add a phosphorus binder to it which you can buy online, I use an Aluminum powder which is cheap and works. You'll have to search the net for "phosphate binders or aluminum powder." Some people also make their own from egg shells. I supplement with a product called Azodyl you can buy at Amazon.com, I give two caps opened and mixed into her food. This has worked wonders for me. Start it now.

20022623 tn?1489116397 I am feeding Royal Canin Renal wet food (NOT dry) and I also supplement with a little protein (since the renal food is low protein and protein restriction is controversial in early to moderate kidney disease) and other low phosphorus foods since my dog is picky and won't eat the canned food alone. Low phosphorus is important in kidney disease.
Avatar f tn scrambled egg whites (but not the yolk which is high in phosphorus), white sticky rice, with a little organic honey or I mixed with a tiny bit of butter (also low in phosphorus), with a small amt of boiled chicken breast or lean (I used 93%) ground beef. You can also try green beans--my dog loves them. Sweet potato is another option, if there's not a potassium problem--my dog loved them, I boiled and mashed it up, adding a little bit of butter and cinnamon for flavor.
874521 tn?1424116797 heres a pdf of most of the canned cat foods available in the market. compare the Protein, Fats and Calories also the Phosphorus of each brand. You will see that even some of the cheaper brands are nearly as good(sometimes better) than the more expensive ones. Some of the better brands are very high in Fats. However Grain Free choices are always tops. Beware of anything with gravy or sauces as these are high in carbs the ingredient in thickeners...thus lead to weight gain. http://catinfo.
Avatar m tn Lower protein is certainly therefore appropriate, but importantly, high-quality rather than low-quality protein is just as important. That means either a good quality kd dog food (canned) or human grade meats and poultry. Even more important is the phosphorus content of food. Phosphorus must be severely restricted, so make yourself aware of what is in the foods you are feeding. You didn't mention phosphorus in the bloodwork - has this test been done? If so, what is the reading?

Avatar f tn given their water-depletion, low protein amount, and the low biological value of the protein (plant vs animal-based) that they are comprised of. I would have to be stranded on a desert island with no other food source before I would ever consider feeding these diets to any cat in my care. Regarding hydration, I must say that I find it truly amazing when I hear about the very large numbers of cats receiving subcutaneous fluids while being maintained on a diet of dry food.
Avatar n tn I have a Grey that is having protein problems and needed a food low in phosphorus. I switched him to the Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato. He was diagnosed in May with Lymphoma. :-( I am still feeding him the Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato with a high protein *stew* I cook up plus cottage cheese and about 2000 units of Omega 3 daily. If the tumor is cancer, theory is you want to feed a high quality protein and no or very little carbs.
Avatar f tn ) He likes this well enough to eat it, but not well enough to use for training treats. Do any of you know of small, chewy, low protein, low phosphorus treats? Thanks!
Avatar n tn says that because protein is metabolized in the kidneys that a low-protein diet is called for. Unfortunately, dogs must have protein or they will be malnourished. More recent studies show that low-protein diets make no difference, whereas focusing on calcium as a phosphorus reduce does help. I found it easier (and cheaper) to make my own dog food. Dark meat chicken is a great alternative to prescription food along with rice and white bread.
Avatar n tn It is my experience they should ONLY be on a strict diet of prescription food specifically formulated for this disease that is low in protein (steak) and phosphorus. If not, PLEASE call your vet asap and go over this... I know you wouldn't want to exacerbate the problem. Good luck, and enjoy to the fullest the rest of the time you have with her.
793908 tn?1294705109 high protein/low fat/low fibre/low purine. Something like fish, rabbit, green tripe, might be useful if this were the case. Now, considering your dog has excess protein, this doesn't figure really.... So do try and post your question on the "Ask a Vet" forum. You will eventually get through, even if you have to keep trying. One of the vets there might be able to help you.
