My otherwise healthy 12.5 year old cat's recent blood work (checked at 6 months intervals) presents kidney values that my vet believes merits taking action now to slow ckd progression. SDMA currently stands at 10.7, Phosphorus is 4.4, BUN is high at 38.9, CRT is elevated but stable at 2.5 and there is no sign of anemia. Vet is recommending Nephrodyl supplement and a renal diet to reduce protein load. I am totally onboard with this and am curious if anyone has had success with the Weruva phos-focused diets as an alternative to the more traditional k/d foods like Hills and Royal Canin? He eats the Weruva food much better than Hills/RC, so avoiding weight/muscle loss is a major consideration at this point. Phos restriction is apparently better with Weruva than Hills/RC on dry matter basis. AAFCO minimums, however, seem to be met better with Hills/RC than Weruva, so there is that to factor in. In reviewing Tanya's site I understand there will be many trade-offs to consider going forward. For now, any experience others have had with Weruva as a renal diet alternative is appreciated.
