It is safe unless Mel is allergic to it (quite rare). The efficacy of it is a source of discussion and honestly I have never seen great benefits from its administration. The food you are giving is perfect and is part of the treatment for chronic renal failure in cats. K/D prescription diet (Hill's) is a good quality food as well.
