Hello, everyone. This is Lexy checking in with another product review for you. If you're a long time reader of our blog, you know that one of our goals is to bring all of you information that can help your cats live a happy, healthy life. Telling you about products that are on the market is one of the ways we do this.
Today we're working with the folks at Scruffy Paws Nutrition to tell you about their Kidney-Vitalize Chews.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is more common in cats than most people think. The folks at International Cat Care state that "CKD can be seen in cats of any age but is most commonly seen in cats over 7 years old, and it becomes increasingly common with older age. It has been estimated that around 20-50% of cats over 15 years of age will have some degree of CKD present. CKD is seen about three times more frequently in cats than in dogs."
CKD is a progressive, incurable disease, which is why supporting your cat's kidney health is so important. That's where Scruffy Paws Kidney-Vitalize Chews come in.
Kidney-Vitalize Chews provide kidney support to cats of all ages with or without CKD. The active ingredients are perfect to help younger cats maintain kidney function to prevent the onset of CKD, and are also beneficial for older cats who are showing the signs of kidney function decline, to revitalize their organs.
Your cat should be given 1 chew per five pounds of body weight as follows:
- Up to 5 lb.: 1 chew/day
- 6 – 10 lb.: 2 chews/day
- 11 – 15 lb.: 3 chews/day
- 16 – 20 lb.: 4 chews/day
We don't get any supplement, but this one looks like a great product. Purrs
ReplyDeleteSomething that encourages kidney health and looks like enticing treats has to be good.
ReplyDeleteYummy and helpful for kidney health is really a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSweetie's BUN score was at the top edge of 'normal' earlier this year, and no doubt she has some sort of kidney issues. I'll check out the website, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than a medicine or supplement that tastes good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great product. XO
ReplyDeleteTasty AND good for kitty kidney levels? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something Boodie might benefit from. She's 19, and although she hasn't been tested lately, I'm sure her kidneys aren't what they used to be!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lola and Lexy. I'll go to their website and see if there are any studies.
ReplyDeleteThey look really epic, We'll have to check if they're available in the UK XOX

ReplyDeleteWe have some of these. Unfortunately, Harley (our CKD cat) didn't like them. But if they work for other cats, that is awesome! Great review!
