Step 1: Restore your cat or dog’s appetite
Many people think that cats and dogs are different from humans, but in fact, furry friends care more about aroma and taste than you think!
Dogs almost always use their sense of smell to decide whether to eat a certain food. Based on their natural habits, the aroma of protein and fat is a major source of attraction for them. Experimental tests have shown that if you want to restore their appetite, super fresh food is the first choice.
If dogs can choose: Super fresh food > Freeze-dried > Heavy processed dog food
Dogs who have never eaten natural fresh food will prefer heavy-flavored dog food to other foods. Since dog food contains high levels of "cadaverine", dogs will choose dog food over healthy freeze-dried food when they cannot make their own choices. But when dogs have enjoyed the natural nutritious food they are supposed to eat, they will prefer natural water-containing food (this explains why dogs will always watch when your food smells good). The warmth and aroma of fresh food cooked by noble pets are the golden magic weapon to restore their appetite. There is really nothing better than gentle and natural food to restore pets' interest in "food".
Freeze-dried food box It is more suitable as a side dish or snack to increase the calories or protein content of the staple food for healthy medium and large cats and dogs. Moreover, after the calcium-phosphorus ratio is adjusted, it is safer to eat than ordinary single freeze-dried food. In addition, interesting tests show that cats are more enthusiastic about freeze-dried food than dogs, such as five-flavor hand-shredded chicken . For cats with kidney disease who have lost interest in food, there is no food that can better induce them to eat.
Q: Can cats and dogs with kidney disease stages 1 to 4 eat fresh food to restore their appetite?
Of course you can! The "Kidney-Activating and Nourishing Drink" series of menus are fresh food meals specially formulated for pets with kidney failure.
Many people think that ketogenic diets are high in protein and increase the burden on the kidneys, but in fact, with scientific formulation, a ketogenic diet can certainly be low in protein!
The design allows your pet to eat animal protein, diverse vegetables, and super foods that can be easily metabolized by the kidneys.
It is the best choice to gradually let your pet enter the ketogenic state with a low protein content of 6-8%, solving the fatal problem that cats and dogs are unwilling to eat kidney formula and gradually become thin and lose their appetite. The only disadvantage is that it needs to be used as the staple food for 10 consecutive days (carbohydrates cannot be fed during the process) to allow your pet to recover to use fat and protein as an energy source.
For cats and dogs with renal failure, dietary management is undoubtedly one of the most critical aspects of treatment.
Many people worry whether they can continue to feed fresh food as their disease progresses, or whether they will have to switch to relying on industrial formula feeds.
In fact, even in the late stages of kidney failure, fresh food is still the most suitable choice.
Compared to highly processed dog food, fresh food is not only more nutritious, but also can meet the special needs of pets with impaired kidney function.
Highly processed dog food usually contains a lot of preservatives, artificial flavors and other chemical ingredients. High carbohydrates and high plant protein are an extra burden for pets with impaired kidney function. Fresh food can be carefully formulated with nutrients according to specific circumstances to avoid excessive pressure on the kidneys. In addition, fresh food tastes more delicious and can better stimulate the appetite of pets, allowing them to absorb enough nutrients and alleviate the various complications caused by kidney failure. This is crucial to improving their quality of life. We must understand that there is no better diet choice for pets with kidney failure than fresh food. We believe that as long as we continue to feed our pets high-quality fresh food and follow the professional guidance of doctors, we can accompany our pets through their final journey even in the terminal stage. We will create a healthier and more comfortable living environment for cats and dogs with renal failure!
Step 2: Anti-inflammation in the body
When returning to the ketogenic state, cats and dogs will restore their cell self-repair and anti-inflammatory abilities!
The 6-8% protein content of "Kidney Activating and Nourishing Drink" allows cats and dogs to gradually recover to use fat and protein as energy sources. During this period, it is not suitable to feed carbohydrates on their own, because carbohydrates and starch will cause the increase of insulin and glucose in the body, hindering and causing further inflammation of the body. On the contrary, 10 consecutive days of "Kidney Activating and Nourishing Drink" can allow pets to gradually enter a natural low-protein ketosis state, in which cats and dogs will be able to mobilize the ability of their own repair system. Under the ketogenic diet, many inflammations will gradually improve, including pancreatitis caused by kidney problems, thyroid inflammation, neuroinflammation, and epilepsy caused by nerves. This is why nutrition magazines and top universities are calling for cats and dogs to return to the diet of their cat and dog ancestors.
Uses protein and fat as energy.
Step 3: Gain weight after restoring kidney function
Dogs with renal failure can use the low-protein ketogenic "Kidney-Activating and Nourishing Drink" to enter ketosis. If it is the early stage of kidney disease (one or two), you can eat "Noble Furry Baby Light Cooking Meal" in advance. If it is the late stage of kidney disease, you need to be more cautious about low-protein diet. First, enter the ketosis state through "Kidney-Activating and Nourishing Drink", and continue to eat for half a month (during this period, no additional carbohydrates can be fed). After the cats and dogs recover their appetite and kidney function improves, gradually add "Noble Furry Baby Light Cooking Meal".
The protein content of "Noble Furry Kids Light Meal" is about 11-16%, which meets the US NRC nutrition standards and is very suitable for long-term consumption by healthy cats and dogs. It is also very suitable for cats and dogs with kidney problems who need to increase fat and weight and improve immunity. It contains a variety of vegetables and fruits, super foods, and evenly supplies everything from minerals to trace elements. It is the most natural way to restore a healthy diet for your furry pet.
Step 4: Cultivate intestinal probiotics to restore immunity
The source of intestinal probiotics is related to the diversity of food (multiple meats, red meat, white meat, multiple vegetables, fish, etc.)
A variety of superfoods will affect the richness of intestinal probiotic flora, and intestinal probiotic flora are interconnected with immunity, brain, and mood. For cats and dogs with kidney failure, immunity is crucial to restore.
To rebuild the intestinal microbial community, you can choose to add 10% core longevity food companions (CLTs) to your pet's staple food, or choose the intestinal microbial nutrients launched by fuzzywuzzycare to quickly and gradually repair intestinal health and long-term immunity. Of course, nutrients are not a panacea for fighting long-term bad eating habits. From a practical point of view, we recommend that you first correct the diet structure of cats and dogs, and then consider adding nutrients. It's just that sometimes, in order for cats and dogs to ingest enough active substances and change their own health conditions, supplementing nutrients or food powder is the only way.
Step 5: Food supplements to activate self-healing ability
Each furry friend is unique, and each needs to strengthen and consolidate different parts of the body. With a daily high-quality diet of Noble Super Fresh, I believe that various diseases are getting farther and farther away from your furry friend. As for the chronic diseases caused by the previous unbalanced diet, you can rely on targeted 5% food supplements to gradually optimize and improve your health and physical fitness.
If you eat snacks, choose those that can help your pet maintain a golden body.

Step 6: Exercise more and rest more to detoxify
Plant polyphenols: a natural treasure for boosting immunity
Plant polyphenols are a class of compounds widely found in vegetables, fruits, grains and other plants, and have strong antioxidant capacity. A large number of studies have shown that plant polyphenols can not only help the human body remove free radicals and reduce cell damage, but also regulate the immune system and improve the body's resistance. For dogs, it is equally important to consume an appropriate amount of plant polyphenols. You can choose plant-based ingredients rich in polyphenols, such as blueberries, grapes, green tea, etc., and add an appropriate amount to your dog's daily diet to help enhance their immune function and prevent various diseases.
Outdoor exercise: detoxification and health
Dogs are naturally active animals and need a lot of outdoor activities to maintain physical and mental health. Moderate exercise can not only strengthen the body, but also help dogs metabolize toxins, excrete accumulated waste in the body, and improve the functions of organs such as the skin. It is recommended that owners take their dogs for 30-60 minutes of outdoor activities every day, such as walking, running, swimming, etc., which can not only meet the dog's activity needs, but also promote the normal operation of various indicators of its body.
Rest at regular times: Keep your dog healthier
In addition to sufficient exercise, dogs also need to maintain a reasonable routine. Studies have found that regular rest is very important for the physical and mental development of dogs. Proper sleep time can help dogs restore their energy, regulate endocrine, and enhance resistance. Owners can adjust their work and rest time according to the age and size of their dogs to ensure that they have enough rest time every day. At the same time, proper sunlight exposure can also help dogs maintain a good physiological rhythm and enhance immune function.
Conclusion: Proper diet, moderate exercise, and adequate rest - build a healthy cycle for cats and dogs
In the end, there is no complicated secret to keeping cats and dogs healthy. A proper amount of natural, minimally processed food, a variety of vegetables, seasonal ingredients, moderate exercise and adequate rest are enough to establish a good physiological cycle for them.
We only need to provide cats and dogs with the most basic life needs - a balanced diet, appropriate amount of activity, and sufficient sleep. As long as we do this, we can ensure their physical and mental health. There is no need to be too complicated. Often returning to the simplest lifestyle, we can give cats and dogs the best care.
