My cat, who had chronic kidney disease, started eating more after switching to this food. The chicken flavor is appealing and the texture is good. I’ve noticed a slight improvement in energy levels over the past month.

The food is easy to serve and my cat seems to enjoy it. The controlled phosphorus level is a relief, and I’ve seen a reduction in the frequency of vomiting. Still, it’s more expensive than regular cat food.

After trying several kidney-specific diets, this one stands out for its taste and effectiveness. My cat drinks more water now and has fewer episodes of lethargy. The prebiotic blend seems to be working well.

It’s a step in the right direction, but the smell is a bit strong for my cat. The appetite stimulant helps, but I’m not sure if it’s enough for all cats with kidney issues. Would recommend with caution.
