För hög proteininnehåll i fodret kan ge framförallt kastrerade hankatter stora bekymmer med njuren.
FEL,FEL FEL!!!
From the Veterinary Services Department of
Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.
• “High protein pet foods are NOT harmful to a
normal animal's kidneys.
As an animal's body digests and
metabolizes protein, nitrogen is released
as a by-product.
The excess nitrogen is excreted by the
kidneys. A high protein diet produces more
nitrogen by-products and the kidneys simply
excrete the nitrogen in the urine.
While you may think this would 'overwork'
the kidneys and lead to possible kidney
damage, this is not true.
The kidney's filtering capabilities are so
great that even one kidney is sufficient to
sustain a normal life. There are many pets -
and humans - living perfectly healthy lives
with just one kidney”.
Unless your veterinarian has told you your
pet has a kidney problem and it is severe
enough to adjust the protein intake, you can
feed your pet a high protein diet without
worrying about 'damaging' or 'stressing' your
pet's kidneys.
Also, you are not 'saving' your pet's kidneys
by feeding a low protein diet.
