In a Nutshell

  • Low phosphorus content is beneficial for cats with kidney issues
  • Texture and taste may be problematic for some cats
  • Mixing with other foods can improve acceptance

Quick Verdict

The Weruva Wx Phos Focused Tilapia & Tuna Formula is a hit for some older cats with kidney issues because of its low phosphorus, although cats with a penchant for chicken might need time to adjust and in our case rejected it altogether and opt to a prescription diet when starting struggling.
