What's a cheaper kidney diet for my senior cat with high BP?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

My cat has been on Hills KD for over a year now because of her failing kidneys which is under control now. She also has high BP and is on daily medicine. She is 14. I am a pensioner and the hills is so expensive for me. Is there a cheaper way of feeding without compromising her health. Thank you

Unfortunately all prescription diets for kidney failure in cats are more or less priced the same, removing her from a prescription diet can potentially accelerate the disease. the alternative is home made recipes such as these ones: https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/pet-advice/2-homemade-recipes-for-cats-suffering-from-kidney-disorders.html
