Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal Support E Canned Cat Food, 5.8-oz, case of 24

I currently have three elderly cats with kidney failure. I have been using KD with mixed results, and the vet suggested I try this, but only one of the three will eat it. It won't go to waste, but I really wish some of this specialty food was more appealing to cats. It's often so hard to get them to eat anyway, and I have yet to find a prescription food that anyone has ever been crazy about, and I am a very long time cat owner.

Our cat has kidney issues and this is the best type of food for her. Our vet was out so we ordered from Chewy and got the delivery the next day! As a bonus - the cans were all in good condition (sometimes other company's products arrive dented to the point that we do not use them because they seem compromised). The food is a bit more expensive from Chewy than it is at our local vet but we will definitely order from Chewy again.

My two senior, stage-4 renal failure, felines love this food. So nice to see them asking to be fed and then eagerly consuming this food. The loaf texture, which I mush into their dishes, seems to be key for them. I'm very grateful to have discovered a food they enjoy that supports their kidney function; this should help them gain some much-needed body mass. Also, the larger can size is nice since I am feeding two cats; they quickly finish a can in two or three feedings, so it does not dry out or spoil in the refrigerator.

My cats like this one much better then the Hills brand. They are very finicky. I had tried this one before but didn't slowly introduce to them. I do leave it out one day after opening before refrigerating, I think the cold hurts their teeth. I recommend!

Ordering from chewy was easy and the order came very quickly. It would be nice if you sold individual cans or even 1/2 cases. Having to buy a whole case and then the cat not eating it stinks. I had gotten a couple individual cans of this from PetSmart and the food seemed a bit different. Both were Royal Canin E but there are big fat globs in the cans from the case and the texture and smell seem different. It’s really nasty stuff, a thick, fat glob filled, stinky mess. Kind of smells like burnt caramel. My cat won’t even touch the stuff. For a renal food it could certainly use more juice, gravy, sauce, whatever you want to call it. The can claims it’s in gel, but there’s none in there. Icky

O’Malley had to be put on a Renal diet but he’s doing well (thanks to his vet, Royal Canine, and CHEWY). He can’t get enough of this food and took to it immediately! I’ve got another cat “Shamus” he’s a young adult and he tries to eat the Royal Canine food ; it’s a battle but I’ve come up with ways to separate both of my boys.

I am shocked. MissKitty loves it. She cleans her dish everytime. I am so surprised and glad I changed to this brand. She is 21 this year. She was diagnoised with kidney disease 2 years ago and I am grateful for the food that has kept her going strong. So happy.

I bought (and ending up gave away) multiple flavors and brands of kidney diet cat food. I found that this was the ONE food that my cat would eat. She is blind so she finds food by smell and this has enough smell she will find it and enough flavor for her to eat and enjoy it. I also found that putting the can lid back on the food, pressing it down to fully cover the food, helped it maintain its smell and flavor. Then I put an air-tight plastic lid on the can. So small amounts at a time and well covered food helped as well.

My older furry friend loves this food. It has also helped stabilize her kidney disease and she is doing really well. Chewy delivery is lightning-fast and reliable, customer service is excellent.

I poured tuna juice on it, mixed it with Fancy Feast - he's not having it. George won't touch anything that has RC Renal mixed in it. The foster kittens, however, don't care what they eat and will gobble down what he leaves. Seems a waste to give renal formula food to kittens.
