A gradual transition to a new diet may be especially helpful in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cats with CKD that remain inappetent or anorexic cats should be assessed for nausea. Warming the product to room temperature can enhance palatability for cats with a fussy appetite.
Where adequate fluid intake is a concern, the PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS NF St/Ox Renal Function™ wet formula is strongly recommended.
Cats with chronic kidney disease should be fed Feline NF St/Ox Renal Function for life.

Chronic kidney disease is one of the most common and important diseases in older cats. Although CKD is irreversible, appropriate intervention may help to:
• Limit additional damage to the kidneys (e.g.
where an underlying cause can be treated).
• Slow the progression of disease and significantly
enhance survival.
• Address complications that arise from the
CKD (e.g. hypertension).
• Improve the quality of life for the patient.'
This is a veterinary diet for cats diagnosed with kidney disease – and should always be fed under vet supervision. It is not suitable for cats that require a high protein or phosphorus intake, such as pregnant queens and growing kittens.
