About Royal Canin Kidney Health for Dogs

Concerned about Your Dog’s Kidney Health?

The healthy functioning of your dog’s kidneys is essential to them living a healthy life. Their kidneys serve as a filtering system that helps remove toxins and waste from blood. You should always work with your veterinarian to monitor your dog’s kidney health.

Support Your Dog’s Quality of Life Through Kidney Health Challenges

Feed a Specific Renal Diet

Your veterinarian can recommend the right diet to support your dog’s kidney function.

Encourage Drinking Water

Make sure that your dog always has fresh and clean water available. Offering them moist food can also support hydration.

Stimulate Your Dog’s Appetite

Offer your dog a nutritional option with different taste, smell, and texture to help ensure food intake, especially for pets with a poor appetite.

How Nutrition Can Help

Your veterinarian may recommend a formula that includes:

EPA + DHA

Featuring EPA + DHA long-chain omega-3 fatty acids to help support renal function.

Antioxidant Complex

Enriched with a blend of antioxidants to promote tissue and cellular health.

Kidney Support

Formulated with low phosphorus and high-quality restricted protein to support renal function, helping to improve quality of life.

Adapted Energy

Adapted energy content to reduce meal volume and help compensate for a decreased appetite.

Add Variety and Remember to Set Autoship

Offering a range of aromas, taste and textures can help ensure palatability and adequate food intake. Also, remember to set Autoship to make sure that your dog always has their veterinarian’s recommended nutrition.

Mollie likes this renal diet better than Hill Science which totally disagreed with her taste-wise and upset her stools. Better with this RC renal diet but she is still reluctant to eat it even with spending a week+ transitioning. Mixing with fresh for our almost 16 years old pup.

Amount for the price

So far, my dog loves this food. She transitioned to it with minimal protest, and has now been eating it exclusively for about a week. I'm hopeful she will continue

So far, my dog loves this food. She transitioned to it with minimal protest, and has now been eating it exclusively for about a week. I'm hopeful she will continue to like it. She loved the Royal Canin low fat gastrointestinal food, but unfortunately we had to switch when it was discovered that kidney disease was beginning. At 15.5 years, I hope this food will help and give her more quality time with us. Fast delivery by Chewy, had a small hiccup with the script, but got that addressed with help from pharmacy and regular customer service folks who worked to get the order approved and on its way so I had enough time & product to transition her without having to buy more of something I would barely use. 110% satisfied. This is one of the reasons why I use Chewy.

My dog begs for it at dinner

My dog is 16 years old and has had diagnosed heart murmur now developed heart failure so he’s on a lot of meds. 3 weeks ago the vet told us his kidney numbers didn’t

My dog is 16 years old and has had diagnosed heart murmur now developed heart failure so he’s on a lot of meds. 3 weeks ago the vet told us his kidney numbers didn’t look good and prescribed this food. Since starting it, he loves the food, has gotten so much more energy, instead of sleeping all day. It’s expensive, but it has made a big difference in his quality of life and is very heart warming to know that it is helping him. We will know for sure in a few weeks after another blood test after being on the food for about a month

Refund

They refunded us the amount for their dog food because our dog passed away. That was really nice.
