Is prescription kidney diet food safe for my healthy 6 & 8 year old cats?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My father's ailing cat recently passed away. She was on a name brand Kidney Care prescription diet. After she passed he gave me the last sealed bag he had. Would it be safe to feed my two healthy cats, ages 6 & 8?

Yes, it’s fine. The kidney care diet is appropriate for all cats, it just helps protect the kidneys and not make them work harder than necessary. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
