Our MAC's renal diet with low protein and phosphorus for cats with renal insufficiency.
It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use or extending the feeding period.
Recommended feeding duration: initially up to 6 months, and in cases of acute renal failure, initially 2-4 weeks.
Not suitable for: pregnant and lactating cats and kittens. All information is for guidance only. Drinking is important. Please provide fresh water.
Genetic predisposition: Some cats have a hereditary susceptibility to kidney disease. Certain breeds, such as Persians or Abyssinians, are more commonly affected and may show signs of renal insufficiency even at a young age.
Improper nutrition: An unbalanced or consistently inappropriate diet — for example, low-quality food that contains too much phosphorus or protein — can put long-term strain on the kidneys and increase the risk of insufficiency.
Diseases: Various underlying conditions, such as high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, infections (e.g., feline leukemia virus or FIP), and other organ diseases, can impair kidney function and lead to acute or chronic renal insufficiency.
Medications: Certain medications - particularly painkillers, specific antibiotics, or antiparasitic drugs — can put a strain on the kidneys or even cause damage if used long-term. This risk is especially high in cats with already compromised kidney function.
Possible symptoms
Vomiting
Loss of appetite or complete refusal to eat
Little or no urine output
Dehydration (e.g., dry mucous membranes, skin tenting)
Lethargy, weakness, or withdrawal
Foul-smelling breath (often with an ammonia-like odor)
Signs of abdominal pain (e.g., hunched posture, defensive behavior when touched)

Our MAC 's Cat Vetcare Urinary is a urinary stone diet designed to help dissolve struvite stones. While the reduced mineral content lowers the mineral concentration in the urine, the addition of methionine further lowers the urine's pH level.
It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use or extending the feeding period.
Recommended feeding duration: initially up to 6 months.
Recommended for: cats with urinary hyposaturation or metabolic disorders related to struvite and/or urinary acidification.
Not suitable for: pregnant or lactating cats and kittens. All information is for guidance only. Drinking is important. Please provide fresh water.
Genetic predisposition: Some cats have a hereditary tendency to develop urinary stones, particularly struvite stones. Certain breeds, such as British Shorthairs or Siamese cats, are more commonly affected.
Improper nutrition: An unbalanced diet, particularly one high in magnesium, phosphorus, or protein, can alter the urinary environment and promote the formation of struvite stones. A high urine pH caused by an inappropriate diet also plays a key role.
Diseases: Urinary tract infections, chronic cystitis, or metabolic disorders can significantly increase the risk of struvite stone formation, as they disrupt the balance of urinary components.
Medications: Certain medications can affect urine pH or compromise bladder health - both of which can promote the formation of struvite stones, especially in susceptible animals.
Possible symptoms
Frequent urination in small amounts
Straining to urinate (often painful)
Urinating outside the litter box
Blood in urine
Loud meowing or restlessness during urination
Excessive licking of the genital area
Turbid or strongly smelling urine
In severe cases: complete urinary retention (emergency!)

Promotes digestion and regulates bowel movements with fresh carrots, psyllium husks, and sea salt.
Food intolerances or allergies: If a dog consumes something that triggers intolerances or allergies, gastrointestinal upset or diarrhea may occur.
Diet Changes: Sudden changes in food can irritate a dog’s digestive system, leading to diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues. Gradual transitions between foods are therefore important.
Bacterial or viral infections: Infections such as parvovirus, canine coronavirus, or salmonella can also cause diarrhea in dogs.
Parasitic infestations: Worms such as roundworms, hookworms, or Giardia can be responsible for diarrhea.
Stress: Stress or anxiety can affect the digestive system and lead to diarrhea. This may be triggered by changes in the environment, separation anxiety, or other stress factors.
Medications: Some medications can cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea as side effects.
Toxic substances: Ingesting toxic substances like chocolate, certain plants, or cleaning products can result in diarrhea.
MAC MAC 's carrot soup is considered one of the most effective and oldest home remedies for diarrhea. It consists solely of carrots, water, and salt and is cooked for a very long time. It has no side effects and usually works quickly.

• Enhanced anti-diarrheal effect
Dietary food with low protein and phosphorus for dogs with acute renal failure.
Acute kidney failure in dogs occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood and regulate the body's fluid balance. This can have various causes :
Toxic substances: Some toxic substances such as antifreeze, pesticides or certain medications can affect kidney function.
Infections: Infections of the kidneys or urinary tract can lead to acute kidney insufficiency.
Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake can reduce blood flow to the kidneys and impair their function.
Obstruction: Blockages in the urinary tract caused by stones, tumors, or other obstacles can hinder normal urine flow and cause kidney damage.
Possible symptoms
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Reduced or no urination
• Dehydration
• Lethargy or weakness
• Bad breath odor
• Signs of abdominal pain
MAC 's Vetcare Renal Diet is a special diet that is low in protein and phosphorus. Excess protein puts additional strain on the kidneys. MAC phosphorus levels are important because diseased kidneys lose their ability to excrete phosphate .
Furthermore, Omega-3 fatty acids, derived from salmon oil and microalgae, help reduce inflammation. A lower sodium content prevents fluid retention. Antioxidants can help combat free radicals and protect cells.
• Special kidney diet with low protein and phosphorus
• Omega 3 to reduce inflammation
• Less sodium to reduce fluid retention
Complete dietetic feed with a lower purine content for dogs
with high purine levels or diseases such as leishmaniasis.
Purines are components of proteins that are broken down into uric acid during metabolism. If a dog's body is unable to properly process or eliminate excess purines, high purine levels can develop in the blood. This can lead to various health problems, including the formation of urinary stones, the development of gout, rheumatism, and heart or metabolic issues. Some possible causes of elevated purine levels in dogs include:
Genetic predisposition: Some dogs may be genetically prone to accumulating higher purine levels.
Malnutrition: Diets high in purine-rich foods, such as organ meats, certain types of meat, and legumes, can lead to elevated purine levels.
Diseases: Certain conditions, such as kidney insufficiency, liver disease, or diabetes, can affect purine metabolism and result in increased purine levels.
Medications: Some medications can affect purine metabolism and lead to an increase in purine levels.
Possible symptoms
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Reduced or no urination
• Dehydration
• Lethargy or weakness
• Bad breath odor
• Signs of abdominal pain
Leishmaniasis is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, which are transmitted through the bite of infected sandflies. These parasites attack the cells of the immune system and can lead to serious health problems. A diet low in purines , as Leishmania parasites feed on purines.
Symptoms:
The symptoms of leishmaniasis in dogs can vary depending on various factors such as the dog's immune status and the severity of the infection.
The most common symptoms include:
• Skin problems such as hair loss, wounds, dandruff, and crusting
• Weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Lameness due to joint inflammation
• Nosebleeds or other bleeding disorders
• Kidney problems that may lead to increased thirst and urination

Low-calorie complete food with cellulose to support digestive regulation.
Obesity in dogs can arise for various reasons , similar to humans. Here are some causes:
Excess food intake: When a dog consumes more calories than it burns, it can lead to overweight. Overfeeding, treats, table scraps, or feeding foods that are too calorie-dense can all be contributing factors.
Lack of physical activity: Insufficient exercise can result in a dog burning fewer calories than it consumes.
Genetic predisposition: Some dog breeds are more prone to gaining weight than others, such as Labrador Retrievers or Beagles.
Hormonal issues: Conditions like hypothyroidism cause hormonal imbalances and can also contribute to weight gain.
The effects of obesity on a dog can have consequences and significantly impair its quality of life. These include:
• Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
• Joint problems and arthritis
• Diabetes mellitus
• Breathing problems
• Lower life expectancy
