Nutrients vs Ingredients
Where Other Diets Fall Short
Other industry diets meet the nutrient profiles needed to address a disease state but do so using poor-quality ingredients like meat meals, corn, and a lengthy list of synthetic nutrients.
We know that when an animal is sick, nutrition matters most, and that you can provide a therapeutic kidney diet with whole foods.

Ingredients
Chicken, Rice, Egg, Chicken Liver, Flaxseed, Chicken Gizzards, Ground Krill, Cranberries, Blueberries, Potassium Salt, Sea Salt, Ground Egg Shell, Chitosan, Mixed Tocopherols, Zinc Proteinate, B Vitamins (Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid)Chicken
A clean, highly digestible source of protein, also rich in iron, B vitamins, selenium, magnesium, and zinc.
Rice
Cats with kidney disease cannot properly process phosphorus. Adding just enough rice dampens the high phosphorus content of the high-quality meats, which is crucial for lessening the kidney’s workload and protecting kidney function.
Egg
The egg itself is a complete protein, meaning it has all 9 amino acids the body needs from food and is low in phosphorus.
Chicken Liver
Contains a concentrated amount of vitamin A and protein, along with iron, B vitamins, CoQ10, and fatty acids.
Flaxseed
Full of polyphenols, an antioxidant that defends against oxidative stress to decrease inflammation.
Chicken Gizzards
Rich in cartilage and glucosamine, plus a great source of protein, zinc, Vitamin B12, and iron.
Ground Krill
Brimming with nutrients including marine proteins, essential fatty acids, and a powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin, the combination is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Cranberries
Cranberry acidifies urine to create an unfavorable environment for bacteria growth like E.coli, the most common culprits of UTIs. It also handcuffs itself to the bacteria preventing it from attaching to the bladder wall.
Blueberries
One of the most popular superfoods known for their antioxidant properties and ability to limit oxidative stress, which fights inflammation.
Potassium Salt
Used as an electrolyte replenisher to ensure adequate potassium levels.
Sea Salt
Salt helps cells move nutrients and waste where it needs to go.
Ground Egg Shell
The shell is rich in calcium carbonate, which binds phosphorus in the gut so it can be eliminated.
Chitosan
Comes from the outer skeleton of shellfish like lobster, crab, and shrimp. It binds to phosphorus, which gets eliminated. It’s a natural way to manage phosphorus levels.
Mixed Tocopherols
Part of the vitamin E family (akin to vegetable oil) & often used as a natural preservative to maintain freshness.
Zinc Proteinate
A chelated mineral bound to an amino acid that protects against oxidative stress.
B Vitamins
Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid are incredibly fragile B vitamins. They help a variety of enzymes do their jobs, so food more easily turns into energy in the body.
Kelp
Naturally high in antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s a natural form of iodine.
