My very picky 18 year old cat still likes this food even though she has been eating it for years.

My cat was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and so we had to switch to this kibble. The switch went really well as they seem to like it better than the old one.

My cat was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease in 7/23 and started Renal A dry. 5 months later, kidney values greatly improved! Loves the food so much I had to put him on a diet.😻

Has helped my cat and her kidney issues; her blood test numbers actually improved

My old man CKD kitty really likes this dry food and the canned loaf (not sure why they call it that! It’s pâté to the rest of us!). Yes, it’s very spendy, but he actually eats this one and it’s not too difficult to find. Very happy that my vet recommended it! Excellent service from Petco!

Great cat food! Healthy for him, good for his disease and he loves the taste!

Puck is a former dumpster diving street cat, adopted 2012 when approximately 8-12yrs old after luring him with a stinky can of RC Recovery. Incidentally, on abdominal ultrasound during GI inflammation and endoscopy, an asymmetrical kidney was noted by the radiologist, while his serum/blood kidney values remained unaffected, yet. We caught his chronic kidney disease early, before the SDMA test available for detecting decreased renal function in 2014, and long before azotemia (BUN/CREA elevated). Royal Canin's Renal Support variety of canned and dry options enable me to rotate Puck's options when he is inappetant and off a particular texture or flavor. If nausea and discomfort associated with the last time he approached one of the Renal dry or canned, we can go to a different one after getting ahead of gastrointestinal symptoms secondary to renal disease with Cerenia, B12 injections, and diuresis with fluids. He was no longer IRIS Stage I by 2018, and we increased fluid therapy to every other day, rotating renal diet, and adding a sardine or Welactin oil directly to food to entice as needed while managing IRIS Stage III. RC Renal diets kept Puck as vibrant and symptom-free as possible for 6 years. If we had a whole bag or case of renal he was refusing consistently, we got a full refund for the purchase, or credit on our RC account for other food. Puck was my pickiest CKD (aka CRD, CRI) cat to date, and the E loaf can, F and A dry options were favorites; these, in addition to the occasional Fancy Feast/canned fish was the only way we kept Puck's body condition up, nausea at bay, and able to continue home therapy without internist intervention with a feeding tube (needed during GI disease flareup 2016). Other rx renal diets weren't as palatable, had insufficient variety, or were too low in protein, rather than moderate. At the end of life, mirtazapine was needed every 3 to 5 days to keep his appetite stimulated. If unable to pill oral meds, we had injectable to utilize along with SQ fluid therapy, until appetite improved in 1-2 days. If inappetance persisted longer than 24 hours on fluids and meds, IV therapy and hospitalization were warranted. Oliver, another DSH, adopted as a kitten by my dad, did well on RC Renal while also balancing HCM with his CKD the last 2 years of his life. His heart disease and kidney disease were well controlled, as GI obstruction and injury was ultimately what claimed him and destroyed his QOL, not his chronic diseases. Puck had much more time shared with his adoptive senior mom and later, me again when she was moved to memory care nursing, thanks to RC Renal dietary management. He eventually developed mild hypertension and mitral valve degeneration, a form of heart disease, common in senior kitties we often miss as their BP is not regularly monitored at wellness visits. That little imp ruled my family and a piece of our hearts forever, while we gave him a second chance at life, with gentle paws touching my face, grooming us to distraction, shoulder rides, and lap loving his senior years. From dumpster street life to prince of a cozy sweet home, The Impish Puckster left his mark on this family.
