Life expectancy has grown along with the growth of the domestic feline as a companion animal. It is also more common to see patients with age-related diseases. It is estimated that 3 out of 10 cats suffer from kidney disease, some begin with weight loss up to 3 years prior to clinical manifestation. This places nutrition, weight assessment, CC, etc. among the most important points to prevent this pathology. This work aims to evaluate the response to nutritional therapy in 10 felines with different degrees of chronic kidney disease.
