Hi,
I am new here. I have had one cat who succumbed to kidney disease at age 8 and now my 12 year old kitty was just diagnosed with renal failure. It really is heartbreaking and makes me wonder what I could have done to prevent this. The conclusion I have made is it's the food I feed them (Science Diet Dry).
I now have one healthy 5 year old kitty. I'm asking what is the best possible food to feed him combination of wet and dry that I can feed him to hopefully prevent him from getting this horrible disease. Yes, I am aware that wet food is healthier for cats, however, we do travel quite a bit and sometimes can't have someone to check on the cats every day so they must be able to eat some dry food. Also, my current kitty is very large and is overweight. I would like to put him on a diet. Thanks for any help!
