PURINA PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets NF ST/OX Renal Function Chicken 85g

PURINA PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets NF ST/OX Renal Function Chicken 85g is a complete and palatable dietetic food with chicken, in fresh pouches, for cats suffering from chronic kidney disease. As the kidneys become damaged, they lose their ability to excrete certain toxins produced by the body, and the accumulation of these can lead to various disorders including loss of appetite.

Your cat also loses the ability to concentrate its urine; it eliminates increasingly large volumes of urine, while drinking more to compensate. Weight loss is also common. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the more effective the treatment will be. Diet is at least as important as medication in controlling the disease, slowing its progression, and helping to improve your cat's quality of life.

Reducing dietary phosphorus intake is essential to slow the progression of Chronic Renal Failure (CRF). Optimizing the level and type of protein can also help improve the quality of life for cats suffering from kidney disease; these precautions help minimize clinical signs while providing energy and helping to maintain muscle health, organ health, and immune function.

However, a food designed for cats with kidney disease will be of no use if your cat refuses to eat it. The formula is very palatable to satisfy cats with decreased appetite. Contains limited amounts of phosphorus, as studies have shown that this mineral contributes to the progression of the disease.

Formulated with limited amounts of high-quality protein, to help reduce the formation of uremic toxins, whose beneficial effects on kidney failure patients have been demonstrated, while minimizing muscle mass loss. Contains Omega 3 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation and improve renal hemodynamics.
