Kidney disorders are a relatively common problem in cats, particularly for ageing cats. Diet plays an important role in helping to support kidney function, so it’s vital to choose a diet for your cat that is specially formulated to support their condition.
ROYAL CANIN® Renal is a dry kibble diet tailored to help support adult cats with Chronic Renal Insufficiency. When your cat’s kidneys are not working efficiently, it often means that phosphorus cannot effectively be filtered from the blood stream.
ROYAL CANIN® Renal is specially formulated with a low phosphorus content and provides a moderate amount of high-quality proteins to help support kidney function. ROYAL CANIN® Renal contains an adapted energy content to reduce meal volume, which helps to support your cat’s reduced appetite. To further support food aversion and/or a reduced appetite, ROYAL CANIN® Renal is formulated with a specific aromatic profile that helps to stimulate your cat’s appetite. The shape, size, and texture of the kibble is also specifically tailored to appeal to cats.
Attracting your cat to their food bowl can be difficult in cases of food aversion. To cater to each cat’s individual preferences, ROYAL CANIN® Renal is also available as wet food with three different formulations: fish, beef and chicken. The variety of formulations and aroma profiles help to stimulate and support your cats varying appetite. If your cat enjoys a mixed diet of wet and Dry food, be sure to reference the on-pack feeding guides to ensure a healthy daily food intake for your cat.

Having been advised to put my 5 yr old cat on a Renal diet because he is in the early stages of CKD I thought as he is such a ‘ foodie’ it would be easy. NOT SO! Tried all renal foods and Royal Canin is the only one he will eat. He absolutely wolf’s this down! Shame it is sooooo expensive!

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding ROYAL CANIN® Renal Adult Dry Cat Food, including answers from our team.
Marcus
What flavour is this / what meat? And why isn't it displayed?
ROYAL CANIN® Renal Adult Dry Cat Food is not marketed by a single "meat flavor" (like chicken or beef) because it relies on a highly specialized nutrient and aroma profile designed specifically for cats with kidney issues.
What is the meat in it?
The protein sources are a blend of highly digestible, functional ingredients, primarily consisting of pork, poultry, and fish oil.
The protein base: The meat components are primarily derived from dehydrated pork protein and hydrolyzed poultry proteins.
Quality & By-products: The meat and animal by-products used are strictly from animals passed fit for human consumption. They include highly nutritious organ meats (like hearts and livers) which are processed and dehydrated.
Vegetable proteins: It also includes vegetable protein sources, like maize and wheat gluten, to supply necessary amino acids while keeping phosphorus levels strictly restricted.
Why isn't a specific flavor displayed?
Royal Canin's veterinary range avoids explicit flavor marketing to focus entirely on functional nutrition.
Focus on aroma and texture: Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) often suffer from reduced appetites and food aversions. Rather than standard flavors, Royal Canin uses a specific, savory aromatic profile and dedicated kibble shape specifically designed to stimulate your cat's sense of smell and taste.
Nutrient consistency: By keeping the formula as a broad "meat profile," formulators have the flexibility to adjust the specific meat ingredients if certain raw materials become unavailable, while ensuring the exact nutritional profile (e.g., low phosphorus, high-quality proteins) remains constant.

What is the difference between the 2 Renal Dry foods from Royal Canin (RF23 and RSF 26)? The RSF 26 says it is more palatable so is it just for fussier cats, or is it slightly better quality? Or are they for different types of kidney disease? Would there be a medical reason as to why you should feed one and not the other in particular circumstances?
Thanks for your help.
The RF 23 is more severely restricted in phosphorus and protein and is more useful for more advanced cases of chronic renal insufficiency. As such it is also less palatable, so the RF 26 is more likely to be accepted by the average cat. They are both used for the same types of problem. If reduced renal function has clearly been demonstrated on blood and urine tests, then the best diet is probably the RF 23. However a lot of these cats are not keen to eat anyway, so giving them a diet which is not particularly palatable is counter productive. It is more important that they eat enough of something rather than not enough of a slightly better food. Having some of both to hand might be best, but aiming to use the RF 23 for preference.
