I, too, am looking for a homemade replacement for Radcat for my kitty with CKD.
Has anyone heard of/tried Balance IT, specifically the K formula that's supposed to be lower in phosphorus? Balance IT is the homemade cat food supplement that my vet is familiar with, and I'm wondering how it compares to EZ complete, and I'm considering it just based on the fact that EZ complete is designed for healthy cats, and my CKD cat is not healthy. I'm wondering if it's all that different, and if not, would one be better? It seems that Balance IT still requires supplementation with omega fatty acids at least, but EZ complete does not, and EZ complete looks less expensive.
Balance IT might be a good option for cats with protein allergies too, because it uses plant-derived supplements instead of animal ones. Not an issue for us, but maybe something other people might need.
I think you do need veterinary approval to buy the Balance IT though. Their website has a nice option for creating a custom recipe for you.
