Veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of dogs with specific clinical conditions and are recommended to be used under veterinary advice.Royal Canin Renal is formulated for the nutritional management of chronic renal failure (CRF), recurrence of urolithiasis requiring urine alkalinisation: urate and cystine uroliths, and formation of oxalate stones in dogs with impaired renal function. In CRF, the kidneys are no longer able to properly eliminate phosphorous which contributes to progression of the disease. Limiting the dietary phosphorous intake is an essential part of nutritional support. Flavanols (a particular type of green tea polyphenol) have two major actions: they neutralise free radicals and help maintain renal perfusion. A higher intake of long chain Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) helps to maintain to glomerular filtration rate. Uraemia may induce the development of gastric and intestinal mucosal ulcers. Zeolite forms a film that protects the digestive mucosa and helps neutralise toxic substances; Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides stimulate the growth of a beneficial digestive flora helping to support mucosal health.
