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.

Aside from those 2 other lists I linked to (CatInfo.org's food chart and Tanya's FelineCRF.org food lists), I was able to find phosphorous content on the following brand's websites:

WeruvaNutritional Information - Weruva | Because We Luvya
Soulistic PatesNUTRITIONAL INFO PÂTÉ — Soulistic Pet
Soulistic Most and TenderNUTRITIONAL INFO MOIST AND TENDER — Soulistic Pet

If anyone knows of others brands listing phosphorous content on their website, or low phosphorous food to add, I can edit these two posts to add/update them.

.. .. except Royal Canin .. .. grrr, and weruva was frankly bizarre regarding not telling me the iodine content whereas everybody else I asked was very forthright.

Thank you!! sidneykitty sidneykitty , very much for this, I see a couple on your list I wasn't aware of that I'm going to contact re; iodine, and I might have a couple for you to add re; phos, bless your heart ❤!

Ah yes, thank you! Good point to make. I really wish every company just made the info easily accessible on their websites, though, and I appreciate those that do so. I think it would save a lot of staff and customers time and energy.

Furballsmom Furballsmom - thanks! I'll add those in the next couple of days. I'm not sure I can edit the top post anymore, so I'll likely add them in a new post. :)

Babypaws Babypaws - thank you. :redheartpump:

Updated today:
I couldn't find phosphorous % on dry matter basis for Forza10 but I assume(?) the Renal Support diet is suitable.

Less than 0.9% phosphorous on a dry matter basis is what my vet recommended. Please note a couple of these foods are slightly above that percentage but I kept them on the list regardless so people can make choices!

Thanks for the additional suggestions! I wish they'd just print this info on the darn cans and save us all the trouble.

I wish they would offer sample variety packs of these so we don’t have to buy a whole case to try it out!
Absolutely agreed! Sometimes the locally owned pet shop near me will offer free samples which is nice.

I just saw Weruva has a new line of low phosphorous food called Wx. The phosphorous content is super low. So low that it cannot claim to be ‘complete and balanced’ and they say that the vets should be consulted if it’s suitable for using it as the cat’s primary food. I think the phosphorous content is almost as low as the kidney rx food. Something to consider and talk to the vet about if your cat is diagnosed with CKD.

I thought I would mention the Lotus Turkey pate. The website has it with phosphorus of 1.02 DMB. It also is one of the only pates they have without fish. The rabbit pate also has no fish and has phosphorus of 0.96, but it gave my cat diarrhea (maybe too much salmon oil, as it is higher on the list?), but every cat is different on ingredient tolerances. I am not too keen on peas being high on the list in the Lotus pate, which is why I am ordering Dr. Elsey's - I'm hoping to alternate or mix things up. Oh, the Lotus Just Juicy Turkey has phosphorus of .88 and the Just Juicy Chicken has phosphorus of .98 according to the site. I am considering pulling out the emersion blender with the Just Juicy Chicken to see if she would eat it again because her brothers eat it, and she licks their bowls clean.. She is scheduled for surgery for tooth resorption, which explains why she refused the shredded Just Juicy - poor thing.

The vet did the blood work and cleared her for surgery but said one of her kidney values was slightly elevated. Out of desperation to get her to eat, she has been eating Ziwi Peak (that I have been putting through a sieve to make smooth for her), and I am wondering if the higher phosphorus (even the lowest flavors are 1.34 DMB) and all the organ meat day after day, plus battling constipation with that food - had to add plenty of water- could have caused kidney stress. She is eating the Lotus Turkey pate (I add water and use a spoon to mash it smooth) for now at least.

Everyone here is so great to share. The list above is great! I'll keep it on hand!

Hi, I'm late to this thread but want to sincerely thank you for posting this information---it's helpful to see other options in addition to Tanya's CKD guide. It's timely because currently I'm trying to find new kidney-friendly food for my cat, as the prescription brands upset his stomach a lot.

So sorry your kitty has passed, we do everything to try to give them the best life. With all the research you did, it's obvious how much you cared for her 💗
