Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions


Can this food help prevent kidney issues in senior cats? Or should it only be given after a diagnosis?

Answer by HeatherAug 04, 2025
I'm pretty sure it's for after a diagnosis because you have to have a prescription or vet approval to purchase.

What is the as fed percentage of phosphorus, ash & calcium?


Is this item coming back into stock??


Are there other flavors of this k/d early support for cats or is this the only one? Specifically, are there any pate versions (without chunks)? Thanks!

Answer by ChewyOct 26, 2018
This food is only available in chunks at this time.

Changing my cat to a prescription diet has not been easy. She has been fine with dry food, but moist food is trial and error, and with the price of kidney support diets, it's a big financial gamble with each case. She eats most of this food, but spits out what looks like carrots. It would be nice if they made variety packs so we could find something she loves instead of tolerates.

My old gal, Gracie, has early stage Kidney Disease. I bought this with another brand of similar prescription food, to see which she would like. Unfortunately, she didn’t like either! Oh how I wish these prescription foods came in smaller sizes to try out before committing to 24 cans! Why can’t that be a thing ?? Gracie also has Hypothyroidism and she is on a transdermal med. I tried the food for a month or so and she just wasn’t eating it. She usually eats with gusto. Don’t call her late for dinner sort of cat. With this brand and another, she was barely eating. A vet appointment revealed she had lost a half pound since our last visit which was approximately a month prior. They said just keep her on her usual food as it’s better that she is eating and not losing weight. I took the remaining cans of both brands back to my vet. I figured if someone needs some sample cans of early kidney disease food, they can try these rather than commit to an expensive prescription food try-out. She is back to her regular food and has gained that weight back.

Cat won't eat it

I feel bad leaving only 4 stars cuz it's probably a fine food but cat eventually lost interest and stopped eating it.

My cat Josie with early (moderate) kidney disease ate it at first. Then she would just lick it a couple times. After a couple weeks she wouldn’t go near it. Since

Changed the Formular

Something is different. It's not a wet stew anymore. It's more like a somewhat moist pate. My cat won't eat it anymore.
