Kidney & Urinary Health
-
Cats:
- Kidney disease is common in older cats, and special diets are required to support kidney function.
- Cats are prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) and crystals; a diet high in moisture and specific nutrients (e.g., low phosphorus) can help.
- Regular veterinary check-ups are necessary to monitor kidney health and prevent complications.
-
Dogs:
- Kidney disease in dogs requires dietary adjustments (low protein, low phosphorus) to help manage symptoms.
- Urinary health is a concern in dogs, with issues like UTIs, bladder stones, and incontinence being common.
