I have to say since having a cat diagnosed with Kidney Disease the company Weruva has to be my favorite discovery so far. They are a family run business but one the best things I like about Weruva is they foods use the same ingredients that actually go into products for people, such as boneless, skinless chicken breast and fish loins hand-flaked off the bone. With kidney disease popping up in our cats I immediately switch all our cats over to brands that used human grade meat in their products.
What is Phosphorus?
Phosphorus is a mineral found in many foods, often times in animal meat, especially found in animal bone. One important function phosphorus performs in your body is working with calcium to build strong, healthy bones. However, when you have kidney disease, it’s harder for your kidneys to remove extra phosphorus, causing a harmful buildup. This is why we seek out low phosphorus food for cats with kidney disease.
Why Serve Low Phosphorus Cat Food
If you randomly stumbled on this article and aren’t sure if low phosphorus cat food is for you then no worries. If you have no idea what phosphorus is, then I would say there is a fair chance that is not something you need to worry about with your cat.
Phosphorus concerns with cats often come about when they are older or considered a senior cat. This is because Kidney Disease is something so common with older cats. It has been shown that pet food with low phosphorus can be beneficial to cats with kidney disease.
I would only seek out low phosphorus food options for your cat if you have been directed to do so by your cat’s veterinarian.
Weruva Low Phosphorus Cat Food
This brand has so many different product lines we are breaking it up by type of food. So you will see all the headers are from their different lines they offer. If you don’t see a line listed from the brand that means we didn’t find a low phosphorus flavor in that food line.
If you are wondering where you can find Weruva food we shop for it at Amazon, Chewy and, Petco. We also have been able to find at a local speciality pet food store.

It's a great option, I need to add that into this list as well. I know a lot of people struggle to get their cat to actually eating including our gal she didn't love it.
