25 Lowest Phosphorus Wet Foods (US Edition)

25 Lowest Phosphorus Wet Foods (US)

When managing Feline Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), phosphorus control is one of the most critical steps in slowing disease progression. Here is a curated list of 25 of the lowest phosphorus wet foods currently available in the US, formatted for easy reading on your phone.

Remember, while phosphorus is key, sodium content and the Calcium to Phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio also matter heavily for blood pressure, bone health, and overall kidney protection. Always work closely with your veterinarian when transitioning your cat to a new food.

The Clinical Targets

Based on established veterinary guidelines, here is what to look for on a Dry Matter Basis (DMB) and per 100 kilocalories:

• Sodium (Na): Less than 0.4% DMB (ideally less than 100 mg per 100 kcal)

• Ca:P Ratio: Approximately 1.1 to 1.5
