So my cat was diagnosed with CKD last summer and I embarked on a journey of searching for lower phosphorous canned/wet foods for her to eat. (We were aiming for phosphorous content below 0.9% on a dry matter basis.) She had a suspected fish allergy/intolerance, so we also had to be careful about that.
I found a few resources online to help, including CatInfo.org's food chart and Tanya's FelineCRF.org food lists. However, while very useful and wonderful, I found these lists were not exactly up to date, and some of the foods cited as low phosphorous on those lists were not below 0.9% dry matter according to the company's website or when I reached out to them directly to ask (as of 2021/2022).
I also obtained lists from my vet and a locally-owned store. I combined some of the info and made the following list I thought I'd share here. I only included dry matter basis because that's what I used to decide. This is only up to date as of January 2022 as my cat passed away in February 2022 and I no longer had to keep it up so some of this may have changed in that time. That said, I hope some of you may find it helpful.
