My picky cat has kidney disease. Are Fancy Feast or Blue Buffalo okay?

Question

my 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with early stages of kidney disease. i had her eating the dry food from Hills K/D and she was ok with that. Then i moved her to the wet food because she stopped eating the dry. now she’ll eat the wet food for a day or so and then refuses. the only food she never misses a meal is fancy feast pate and blue buffalo healthy gourmet pate. i know commercial food isn’t great, but are either of these foods near the percentile a kidney cat needs?

Unfortunately no, neither of those diets are ideal for kidney patients which benefit from lower protein diets. Royal Canin makes a whole line of renal diets for cats that come in a variety of textures, flavors that are usually more appealing to finicky cats than the Hills k/d. If BB won’t even eat the Royal Canin renal canned cat foods, however, eating something is definitely better than not eating, especially as cats can develop a serious condition called hepatic lipidosis from not eating for even two days. Inquire with your vet about approving the Royal Canin renal diets which you can find on chewy.com if your vet doesn’t carry it. Good luck!
