Health & WellbeingMy 11 year old female cat has very early kidney disease. Vet recommended Science Hills G/D prescribed food. My cat is currently on Acana and Origen which seems to be the healthiest available. Vet is trying to limit sodium and phosphorus intake but Sc
Yes, early diet changes to limit sodium and phosphorus, while avoiding excessively high protein can be quite beneficial to slowing the progression of kidney disease. Science Diet foods are formulated by veterinary nutritionists, have been tested extensively both in the lab and through clinical feeding trials, and have appropriately sourced ingredients. Only two other food companies (Purina and Royal Canin) can also make these claims, and all have their own production facilities with better quality control than other manufacturer's with shared facilities and a greater likelihood of cross-contamination. If you decide to switch Lola to the G/D diet, be sure to do so gradually by mixing the old and new diets over 5-7 days. I hope this helps to answer your question and that all goes well for Lola!
