My senior cats have early kidney problems. What food should they eat?

Question

Our two cats have had tests that show their kidney function is starting to require support. I think level 14 whereas max should be 12. They are sisters and are 7.5 yrs old and otherwise healthy, Can you recommend what we should feed to help. At present they eat Whiskers wet food. Thank you. John.

John, I'm sorry to hear of the mild kidney problem with Dusty and Stitch. There are several excellent prescription cat foods that are for kidney support. I would start with the brand your veterinarian recommends. If they don't like it try another until you find what they like. Your veterinarian will recommend periodic blood tests to monitor their kidney function and will add medication or fluids if that becomes necessary. Many cats live long active lives even with some kidney issues so with good care they should be fine for several years or more.
