First, it’s really important to make sure your cat with CKD keeps eating. A lot of cats with kidney disease have trouble with their appetite and end up losing weight, so it’s important to keep them eating. The next most important thing is to ensure that the kitty is eating as little phosphorus as possible.
The recipe makes about 1 KG of balanced raw for cats with CKD, and can be scaled up for freezing or down. It replaces bone/bone meal powder with ground eggshell powder, which is very low in phosphorus.
