Wildcat VetLine Renal Chicken
Wildcat VetLine Renal Chicken with 55% chicken. Grain-free wet diet food to support kidney function and reduce the formation of oxalate and urate stones. In 85 g and 200 g.
Wildcat VetLine Adult Renal Chicken is a specially formulated complete dietetic food for adult cats with chronic renal insufficiency. The adapted formula supports kidney function and may also help to reduce the formation of calcium oxalate and urate stones.
The kidneys perform vital functions in a cat’s body. They filter metabolic waste products from the blood, regulate fluid balance and help maintain mineral balance. In chronic renal insufficiency, this function gradually declines. A specially formulated diet can help to relieve the strain on the kidneys and support the wellbeing of affected cats.
The Wildcat VetLine Renal Chicken formula is characterised by a limited protein content and a reduced phosphorus content. With 8.2% crude protein and just 0.15% phosphorus, this wet food is tailored to the specific nutritional needs of cats with kidney disease.
With 55% chicken as the main ingredient, this food provides selected animal proteins. The tasty recipe can be particularly beneficial for cats that have a reduced appetite due to their condition.
The formula is supplemented with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, Jerusalem artichokes and alfalfa. The prebiotic fibres it contains, mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), can support a balanced gut flora and normal digestion.
A key feature is the addition of 0.35% potassium citrate, which has a urine-alkalising effect. This means the food can help to influence the conditions under which calcium oxalate stones form. A suitably adapted diet may also be beneficial in cases of certain disorders of uric acid metabolism.
The linseed oil contained in the food provides valuable fatty acids. With a fat content of 8.5% and an energy content of 117 kcal per 100 g, the food offers good energy density, which can be particularly helpful for cats with a reduced appetite.
The moisture content of 77% contributes further to daily fluid intake. Adequate hydration is particularly important for cats with kidney disease.
Wildcat VetLine Renal was developed in collaboration with vets and nutritionists. The grain-free formula contains no added maize, soya or flavour enhancers.
The diet wet food is available in the practical 85 g and 200 g sizes. This allows the daily food portion to be tailored to individual needs.

Zoo Roco Tip
Cats with chronic kidney disease often have a reduced appetite and require special attention when it comes to feeding. It is important not only to ensure the right nutritional composition, but also that your cat eats enough and drinks sufficient fluids.
Wildcat VetLine Renal Chicken contains a reduced phosphorus content and a limited proportion of selected animal proteins. This enables the food to provide nutritional support for the veterinary treatment of chronic kidney disease.
Serve wet food at room temperature or slightly warmed. This allows the natural flavours of the food to develop better and can improve acceptance, particularly in cats with a reduced appetite.
Provide your cat with several places to drink. Many cats prefer fresh water in quiet spots. A cat fountain can also help to encourage fluid intake.
Weigh your cat regularly and keep an eye out for changes in appetite, drinking habits and activity levels.
Do not mix a kidney diet with ordinary cat food or unsuitable treats without consulting your vet. Doing so may alter the carefully balanced phosphorus content and protein intake.
Regular veterinary check-ups help to tailor the diet to the individual course of the disease.
