  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition in elderly cats. Its management requires notably the use of a therapeutic diet and phosphate binders. As CKD is frequently associated with poor appetite, it may impair the intake of complementary feeds in sick cats versus healthy cats. Objectives: This study evaluated the rate of consumption of 2 new complementary feeds in cats with CKD. Methods: 41 owners of cats with CKD were randomly assigned to Group 1 (G1 = Renal+MP Early, MP Labo, France, n=21) or Group 2 (G2 = Renal+MP Advanced, MP Labo, France, n=20). Products were masked. Cats received 1 measuring spoon of powder for 5 kg twice a day for 5 days with a meal. On D1 and D5, owners rated the meal consumption: 100%, 90 to 100%, 50 to 90%, 5 to 50%, less than 5%, or nothing. Total and partial consumption were respectively define.. Read More»
