Frequently asked questions
  • How do you treat kidney disease in cats?

    Nutrition is key in kidney disease management. Early modifications of the diet can have a very positive influence on the cat's kidney function.
    If necessary, the veterinarian may also prescribe a daily medical treatment to help the cat to eliminate any toxins that may be building up in the cat's blood.

    The main symptoms of kidney disease in cats are:
    • Decreased appetite, feeling nauseous

    • Drinks more
    These signs show that your cat might suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease. Don’t hesitate to consult your veterinarian if needed.
