Managing chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) can feel stressful and intimidating – especially because its signs aren’t obvious until they’re really advanced.

These 3 simple steps can guide you, as a clinic professional, in helping owners provide lifelong nutritional support for their cat’s kidney health:

Step 1: Regular screenings during annual check-ups are vital for detecting subclinical cases of CRI.

If your feline patients are over 7 years of age, regular screenings, during their annual check-ups, are key to detect subclinical cases of CRI.

Step 2: Early diagnosis helps classify CRI per the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) and initiate timely interventions.

Early diagnosis will allow to classify CRI according with the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS)1 and to start prompt renal supportive interventions.

Step 3: Support with specialised nutrition, as renal diets improve clinical outcomes and quality of life in cats.

Veterinary Diets specially formulated for renal conditions favour better clinical outcomes, improve quality of life, and can extend lifespan in cats, when compared to feeding maintenance diets2.
