Reduced phosphorus content. The low phosphorus content of the diet helps to slow the development of kidney disease and minimises the risk of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Restricted protein level. The restricted level and high quality of protein helps to reduce impaired renal function and maintain body condition.
Phosphorus chelator. The addition of chitosan and calcium carbonate helps to reduce the availability of phosphorus (clinically proven by Virbac).
High energy concentration and excellent palatability. High energy concentration to provide small daily rations, and high palatability helps to maintain sufficient feed intake for proper nutrition of the patient.
