We buy this food for my 17 year old cat who has mild kidney issues and she loves eating it. We previously bought her the Hills prescription diet version and she hated it, so we’re so happy she likes this one. She also likes the beef version too.

I tried getting this on Amazon but they messed up the delivery leaving my poor guy without his medically prescribed food for 3 weeks. Zooplus had it out to me in a few days and my guy just finished a pouch after being off his food. Ty so much guys.

19 year old Molly was in a sorry state after a kidney infection, and because of her age, stage 2 KD and some heart disease her vet didn't want to prescribe anything that might make matters worse. So we were resigned to the fact that Molly's life was drawing to a close. Well after a month on his diet, she shows an interest in food, has put on weight, her coat is glossy, she is passing more urine (presumably her kidneys are having less of a struggle). energy levels have increased too. Amazing!

Only one of my cats has renal problems and he is very young - 4 years old....so feed him this every single morning - he quite likes it and one or two of the others also eat it....I do everything I can to make his life longer!

the only one he loves

Excellent

My cat adores this food and it took him from having a lot of struvite crystals in his urine (the S/O variant) to just a couple of fragments in 3 weeks. The only reason he's transitioned to the dry variant is the cost. If it was up to him, he'd eat it all day!

My cat loves this food which she is on under my Vet's instructions. Has started to put weight back on after losing too much.

I have an elderly blind cat with kidney problems and high blood pressure. He has adjusted so well to all these problems and am glad he really enjoys this Royal Canin food and the brilliant service provided.

My cat is 17 and suffering with kidney disease. His coat became matted despite brushing him - one of the symptoms. My vet advised me to put him on this diet (he also likes the tuna) and within 10 days his coat had started to recover. He is now healthier and his coat much better.

Our cat was diagnosed with borderline kidney problems which could be managed with diet at the moment. But which food? Tried a couple of products but this is the one she likes. You'd think she would be fed up with chicken but this seems to be appetizing to her, mainly in the evening. At the moment she appears to be doing well on it and is certainly not losing weight.

My (nearly 17 years) old lady cat, was recently diagnosed with early stages of chronic kidney failure. She is a lifelong fussy eater, and I quaked at the thought of how she would take to a special diet, but she liked this Royal Canin Renal wet food (and the biscuit version too) straight away, and eats all three flavours with equal gusto - I was amazed and very happy as well as relieved. Thank you Royal Canin!

y 12 year old cat was diagnosed with early stage renal failure in August 16, the vet recommended Royal Canin. so bought a few pouches to try from the vet. My cat liked it, but only chicken and is now putting back on some weight very slowly. His normal play and activity levels have returned . Highly recommended, although it's expensive from vets. I don't think you'll find it at a better price than at Zooplus, delivery is excellent too. Shame they don't do turkey or other flavours

My 9-year-old cat has stage 2 renal failure and this was recommended by the vet. My cat eats the chicken flavour with gusto (although is not so keen on the tuna and beef) and seems healthier since being on this diet. Although this is very expensive compared to quality non-renal diets, if it keeps my cat relatively well and happy for longer then it is worth it. Zooplus seem to be the most competitively priced and deliveries have been prompt so I am a repeat customer.

Since my cat has started eating this, he won't have anything else. I think there could be a greater variety of flavours, but other than that no complaints. I really like the size of the kibble. Highly recommended.

My 14 year old cat was diagnosed with early stage renal failure in February, and the Royal Canin wet food recommended . I really didn't think she would like it, so bought a few pouches to try from the vet. My cat loved it, in all the flavours, and is now putting back on some of the weight she had lost. She's also back to her normal play and activity levels. Highly recommended, although it's expensive. I don't think you'll find it at a better price than from Zooplus, and their service is excellent too

Our 14yr old cat puss was diagnosed with kidney failure, and we have tried a similar brand and reluctantly he would nibble at it and walk away so he ended up losing weight which he couldn't afford to do as he is small anyway. So the vet advised us to try this brand and he loves it so now he might start putting the weight back on we hope. We searched everywhere and found that zooplus is the cheapest anywhere and they offer a choice of delivery companies. So well done zooplus for coming to the rescue.

My 15-year-old cat loves this food, which helped her put weight back on after she stopped eating because of her kidney problems… She’s been eating it for almost a year now, mixed with a few kibbles, and since then she’s gained energy and vitality. I recommend it if your cat has similar issues. I took off one star because, in my opinion, the price is way too high!

Royal Canin Renal Chicken is my cat's favourite flavour.

The only renal food my cat will accept. I’ve also tried Purina Renal, Animonda Renal, Royal Canin Renal with fish, Royal Canin Renal with beef, etc. – she refused them all. The vet pharmacies within a 1 km radius already knew me, as I was clearing out their shelves of Royal Canin Renal with chicken. As long as she eats it, from my point of view it’s good. I recommend ordering online, as the markup for buying it from vet pharmacies is quite high.

Now that our cat is older, she can only have kidney food. Unfortunately, the options are always a bit limited. She tolerates and has accepted this food well so far (🤭). But lately, the amount of gravy has increased so much / the consistency has changed 🤔. To me as a human 😏😜, it sometimes looks sticky or slimy. If only the food chunks end up in the bowl or the gravy is wiped off the food... acceptance is as usual. We’d really like to spare ourselves this 'extra work.'

Alongside Kattovit, my pet gets this too, and it gets eaten up as well. It could be a bit saucier though…

Simply the way they savour these little pieces says it all.

My cat has kidney failure. When it was diagnosed, the vet recommended I give her Royal Canin Veterinary Feline Renal food. After my first order, I was a bit worried whether she’d like it, but when the food arrived, Frania was delighted. She tucks in happily and really enjoys it :) Plus, we’re taking care of her kidneys at the same time. I recommend products from this range for your cat.

Thank goodness when we found out about his kidney failure and had to change the diet of our fussy cat, he quickly took to the Royal Canin chicken and beef pouches.

My 16-year-old cat only eats this wet food, but I have to add some water to it.

My cat with kidney disease really likes eating it, and her kidney values have stabilized.

There seems to be a mistake in the target language selection. "🇬🇧" is the flag for the United Kingdom (English), and "Irish" refers to the Irish language (Gaeilge), which is different from English. Please clarify if you want the translation into English or Irish (Gaeilge). Assuming you meant English (UK), here is the translation: There was a change in the recipe, and since then, the recommendation for cats with urate (bladder stones) is no longer on the label. But luckily, it still works very well. The urine remains reliably alkaline, there are no problems, and she still eats it very happily and without hesitation… just like all the years before. We’re happy that it works! If you want the translation in Irish (Gaeilge), please let me know!

Not only does my cat refuse to eat this food, but the product description is also poor, the ingredients aren’t high quality, and there’s no mention of the essential taurine. Instead, there’s sugar in it, for whatever reason.
