Food for cats with kidney problems: what you should know

Kidney problems are one of the most common conditions in cats, especially older ones. A proper diet is essential to managing this condition and improving your pet's quality of life. At Dibaq Petcare, we understand the importance of caring for your cat at every stage of their life, which is why we have products specially formulated to support feline kidney health .

What is kidney disease in cats?

Kidney disease in cats occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to efficiently filter and eliminate toxins from the body. It can be chronic, developing gradually over time, or acute, appearing suddenly.

Some common causes include:

• Aging.

• Urinary or kidney infections.

• Genetic predisposition.

• Improper diet or consumption of toxins.

Symptoms of kidney problems in cats

It is important to be alert to signs that may indicate a kidney problem:

• Increased thirst and urination.

• Weight loss and appetite.

• Vomiting and diarrhea.

• Bad breath (with an odor similar to ammonia).

• Lethargy or lack of energy.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian. An early diagnosis can make all the difference in treatment.

The importance of nutrition for cats with kidney problems

Diet plays a fundamental role in the management of kidney disease. A specific diet for these cases should:

• Contain low levels of phosphorus, as this mineral can accelerate kidney damage.
• Eat high-quality protein in controlled amounts to avoid overloading your kidneys.
• Include omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation.
• Be highly digestible to facilitate the absorption of essential nutrients.
