...your cat and dog food and change your source of phosphorus to something safer and perhaps more natural. It is not just how much phosphorus is in a can of cat food but also how much will end up taken up into the blood affecting the kidneys and contributing to kidney failure. Research...

My CKD cat is losing too much weight. Since phosphates are just one factor of kidney diseas, what I really want to know is if how much worse non-RX food with binder vs RX (food for a couple of meals a day). Senior formula cat foods have a little less Carnitine, Omega 3. A little more sodium...

As @Jabzilla said the spreadsheet will show you how much phosphorus you have in your recipe (in mg) and it’ll show you the total weight of the recipe and the dry matter weight so you can calculate the % of phosphorus based on those numbers.

Thanks for your response. I know phosphorus control is important, but her anemia is FAR more important at this stage, and a much more pressing issue. Anemia can kill a cat. We started Varenzin for the anemia, and Naraquin was recommended as something that helps the Varenzin work. I was...

Hello, if you don’t mind me asking, may I have the recipe for your broth? I have a 16 year old and I just found out she has chronic CKD. This is all new to me so I don’t know much yet, but I’m trying to do everything I can to help her.

...get her to gain back the lost weight But our Vet told us to let her eat any and every thing she wanted, so we did, no matter how much phosphorus was in the food. If the phosphorus gets too high when they test their blood, you can put phos. binders in their food to help with that, although...

Thank you for sharing the sheet. I am following the recipes mentioned in the book and trying hard not to modify anything since they seem to have a balance diet. They also publish the analysis of each recipe at the end of the book and it seems like the ratio are correct after taking into...

Heat destroys the enzyme responsible for cyanide production. Most cat foods are cooked at high temperatures. The issue would be flax in the low temperature cooked foods. :) How Much Ground Flaxseed Can Animals Safely Eat | Nutraceutical Alliance

Hello - Would like some input from the CRF group. Took my Jengo in for blood-work on April 12th... only 8 weeks from previous blood-work because he was getting weaker. Unfortunately 3 test results were high: Bun = 70.8 Creatinine = 3.7 and Phosphorus = 8.1 putting him in Stage 3 now...

I am sorry about your husband. I am not a vet and don’t know your css as t. Just my opinion. I would feed him canned food, but not the prescription diet. As long as you can keep up with routine blood work. If his phosphorus becomes elevated, I would add a phosphate binder to the diet like...

Hm, I just checked the nutritional values on 3 different types of freeze-dried food (chicken, turkey and wagyu beef hearts). All foods are 98% meat and 2% carrots. So no bones, just meat. And they still have phosphorus levels of 0.81%, 0.79% and 0.63%, respectively. The lowest I found was freeze...

I spoke to my veterinarian nutritionist Dr. Lisa Weeth DVM DACVN of Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital, Los Angeles, California. I will try to relay her advice. She initially advised me to stay away from cat foods that have Dicalcium or Tricalcium phosphates in them. I did some research...

I have a more recent post on all this that clarify it so I’ll post it again ina couple reply’s here: Why phosphates can be bad for cats: I spoke to my veterinarian nutritionist Dr. Lisa Weeth DVM DACVN of Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital, Los Angeles, California. She initially advised...

I have a very simple bone substitute and it works well for CKD cats as well since its low in phos. That substitute is eggshell powder. I add 2-5g of it to my cats food each week, depending on how much calcium they are getting from the food alone (they sometimes get things like ground rabbit...

A lot of cats with kidney disease require an appetite stimulant and anti-nausea meds to enable them to eat better. I give these to my cat (Mirataz and Ondansetron). Aside from that, many cats do not eat the renal foods well, and it is better to let them eat what they like than to not eat enough...

Hey there, The RFN sheet shows you exactly how much of every vitamin, mineral, protein, fatty acid, etc is in both the recipe and each individual ingredient. It shows the amount of phosphorus in mg and provides a calcium to phos ratio. Both of those, and all of the other nutrient values change...

I don't really even know what to say - as Tanya's web site states, you don't treat the numbers, you treat the cat. While the numbers may help clue you in on some actions you can take, how your cat is behaving offers just as much of a clue. Feeby's late January blood work shows her BUN at 63...

Thanks for the further information! Will keep that in mind. For now until there are changes on the AAFCO side of things then I'll have to remain on the cautious side of things. Personally will be trying to find foods where the phosphates are, at least, not in the top 5-10 ingredients (depending...

The other forms of phosphates might not be a problem. The L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate I think that it is vitamin C and my nutrition vet said not to worry about the vitamin one. I feed my cat Pure Cravings (Safe Catch) salmon and tuna and it has ferric phosphate in it but my nutrition vet was...

His phosphorus level is high enough to suggest toxin bulld up. The kidney numbers (above included), and urinalysis to some degree, usually provide indicators regarding toxins in the body. Outward signs can be lethargy and inappetence for the most part. As per Tanya's web site (and IRIS), Stage...
