Thread: CRF / CKD - ideas for brands of wet food

Hi all,

My beloved cat Poppy is in latter stage 3/stage 4 of chronic renal failure, and I want to ensure that her last days are as comfortable as I can make them with some good food.

My wife has poured hours into research and it seems that wet food and low protein has the most confidence, but I went into Pets at Home earlier and was bewildered by the lack of choice available. I ended up buying some tuna "applaws" pouch and a can of the same. I put it down and much to my delight it got wolfed down by Poppy!

Although looking at the Applaws website they state that it has got a high protein content but insist that it's "good" protein. Does anyone have any scientific knowledge of this, I can't work out if it's just marketing speak or whether I can continue with this stuff, as half of the battle with Poppy is getting her to eat something at all.

If anyone has any other tips for other brands of food suitable for CRF kittys I'd be very much obliged to hear them

love from poppy and ruby
