Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 13 years and 6 months old | 9 lbs
My male cat is almost 14. I know he is starting kidney problems due to the extra water he drinks at this point. and a bit thinner. lots of energy still. I read they need at least 50% protein, I give him wet and dry which i know is not good, but lots of wet and freeze dried chicken too, vit with dig enzymes. Can you suggest the best Wet high protein food and anything else from Petco?

The only way to determine whether your cat has kidney disease is to have blood work done. Excessive drinking, weight loss, can also be signs of diabetes and hyperthyroidism. Please take Gino to a vet for some blood tests and then discuss the proper treatment and diet with your vet.
