Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal Support A is a highly palatable dry dog food specially formulated to care for the kidney health of adult dogs under veterinary supervision. “A” stands for Aromatic, and this formula can help stimulate your dog’s appetite. The rectangular-shaped dry kibble can be mixed with other Royal Canin Renal Support formulas, which have a variety of palatable aromas and textures to help find the right combination to get your dog eating again. This energy-dense diet provides nutritional support in smaller portions, since dogs with kidney challenges have decreased appetites. Plus, it contains a precise antioxidant complex, fatty acids from fish oil, low phosphorus, and targeted protein levels to help support kidney function.
Key Benefits- A veterinary-exclusive dry dog food for adult dogs to support kidney health.
- A = Aromatic to help stimulate appetite in dogs and encourage eating with rectangular-shaped kibble.
- Helps compensate for decreased appetite with a highly palatable energy-dense formula to reduce meal volume.
- Helps promote kidney function with a precise antioxidant complex, fatty acids from fish oil, low phosphorus, and targeted protein levels.
- Works in conjunction with a variety of appetite-stimulating Royal Canin Renal Support Wet and Dry Dog Food varieties.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Helped our dogs kidneys!
By lauragrayson on Oct 16, 2021
Our 3 year old German Shepherd mix had very abnormal blood work 8 months ago. Her sdma was 60. We repeated the test a month later and it came back to 14.1, her BUN was 33 and CREA was 1.6. The vet recommended this food and after being on this for two months her BUN is now 9 and CREA is 1.3. The vet thinks this renal support diet is the reason she has normal kidney levels again.

By Cora on Aug 16, 2021
My 13 year old dog originally like this for about a year then I had to mix with Royal Canin canned food. Now she won’t eat any of it. I have to combine with Blue Natural just to get her to finish the Royal Canin food. For the price I paid, I need her to finish. I guess I’ll have to see if her vet will give a script for Blue kidney.

Renal Failure
By Fiegie on Jul 3, 2021
Fiegie did well for a month after being diagnosed with renal failure. He seemed to enjoy this food, but shortly after the next bag arrived he stopped eating and drinking. With his advanced age of almost 14, blind and deaf , it was time to say goodbye. Chewy was extremely kind to refund the cost of the food and I was able to donate the food to our vet , who then gave it to other patients. So sad loosing my beloved Fiegie. The next day a beautiful floral arrangement came from thoughtful Jakira at Chewy.com. You put a smile on my face in remembrance of my loyal friend and all the years of purchasing from Chewy. Thank you for your kindness and sympathy at such a sad time.

Good choice
By WoofRescue on Aug 23, 2021
My little dog with kidney disease prefers canned at this stage, but sometimes she wants dry and this is a good choice. She quit liking the 'S' formula so we bought this instead.

Depends how picky or sick your dog is.
By Vvvv on May 23, 2021 top1000Contributor
I bought this for my elderly, 13+-year-old Pomeranian who is in stage 4 kidney failure. Because of her disease, she often suffers from nausea and inappetence. Our vet would like her to be on a renal support diet rather than eating regular food to try to ease the burden on her kidneys and improve her quality of life while she is in hospice care at home. Unfortunately, she won't eat this food at all. She sniffed it once and turned her head away. My male dog, who is a bit younger and does not have the same health problems that she does, was very interested in the food and wanted to eat it, so this food may be good for a dog who is suffering from an earlier stage of renal disease so is less nauseated I bought this for my elderly, 13+-year-old Pomeranian who is in stage 4 kidney failure.

Chewy customer service was very kind and refunded me for the purchase of the food, requesting only that I donate it to a shelter or to a veterinary office. I plan to donate it to our vet at our next visit; hopefully another patient will be able to sample it so the owner can find out if this is a food their dog likes. … more
