Phosphorus is an essential mineral that supports healthy bones, teeth, and energy metabolism in cats. But for cats with certain health conditions, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD), too much phosphorus can do more harm than good. That’s why some cat foods are specially designed to have lower phosphorus levels. When a cat’s kidneys aren’t working as well as they should, they have a harder time filtering out excess phosphorus from the bloodstream. Over time, this buildup can lead to even more kidney damage and make your cat feel unwell. Feeding a diet that’s lower in phosphorus helps ease the workload on the kidneys and supports better overall health for cats with CKD or those at risk. This diet is designed to purposefully be lower than the AAFCO minimum phosphorus requirement for adult cats. This adjustment is made to meet the needs of cats who may benefit from a reduced phosphorus intake. While the phosphorus level is below AAFCO’s minimum requirement, all other essential nutrients, like protein, vitamins, and minerals, fully meet or exceed AAFCO requirements for adult maintenance. This ensures your cat still gets complete and balanced nutrition.
