What non-prescription food/treats do you give your cat with kidney issues?

Our 20-year-old has CKD and we feed him a prescription food in the morning (Royal Canin Renal Support D) and a non-prescription food in the evening (Forza10 Renal Support paté).

Treats are limited to catnip, cat grass, and the very rare small piece of plain chicken.

What do you feed yours?

I mean, a 20 year-old cat with kidney failure should be allowed to eat whatever the hell they want, whenever they want. Give them all the love and care you can…

That’s why he gets the occasional chicken, and doesn’t get scolded when he gets into my husband’s unattended cereal bowl. But we’re not going to actively contribute to the decline of his health. :/

Yes! The line between adore and hinder is hard to balance.

Agreed! Hope that didn’t come across badly. I miss my cat and hope you are enjoying your time with yours…

He is so food motivated that his treats are just more of his usual prescription food, but stored in a different container than his regular food is given from.

Ours is 19, has gone blind and deaf (at least mostly, we think she still sees bright light and deep dark shadow contrast) but, she still has one hell of a sniffer on her.

We get some feline lysine in a tube to add a little to our girls food in the evening. Our vet said the lysine and taurine are good for her, may want to verify for your situation. We keep some Temptations Purrree tubes around for an in-between meal hearty snack.Then we found a Bonkers hard treat with taurine too.

And of course catnip, cat grass, and little bits of un-seasoned protein treats when we are cooking (bit of chicken, tiny piece of steak). We’ll actually cut a lil pice off and set it aside before we season, then give it to her cooled as we go to eat. High protein is no longer good for her, but she gets so happy for her little nibbles we can’t help it, and it isn’t very often.

I’ll need to check out the Forza, maybe replace some of her temptation snacking with a little of that. She doesn’t eat a whole lot at once, and due to a dog and greedy little brothers, can’t really have food left to reach easy thus the regular snacking.

Royal Canin has some treats too. Our guy is diabetic and does the ultimino food and ultimino treats, I think there are renal support versions as well.
