Will be doing a food trial (no insulin) to see how she does. She is back in the green.
I live in Canada so I am kinda restricted on what food brands are available. The Weruva Goody Stew Shoes (and Stew's Clues, but she doesn't like that one as much) has been fine so far. Weruva's B.F.F. Play Pate Chicken Checkmate is very similar except it is even lower carb. She liked that one too but it has been so had to source (the chicken shortage I think?). She isn't as excited about her food anymore, so if I need to switch flavours then I will have to sacrifice the low phosphorus levels...

Hi good luck with the Food Trial
I was looking at your signature and noticed Dixie has early stage 3 CKD and you ate feeding
Weruva Goody Stew Shoes (8.5%
Is that the only flavor she likes
Tyler's brother had kidney disease so I just thought you might like to see this, but I'm sure you know all this already
weruva foods
You want the metabolizable energy profile percentage of carbs to be less than 10%, and the phosphorus which Weruva lists in Minerals to be less than 250 mg per 100 cals. So you have to look at two different places in the Weruva charts.
https://weruva.com
For diabetic cats and cats that have elevated kidney values
You want to feed low phosphorous wet food
When you go to the weruva site and click on one of the pics of the food , click on Detailed Nutrition information that is under guaranteed analysis to the left
YOU WANT CARBS UNDER 10% AND PHOSPHORUS IDEALLY LOW 200's OR LESS
Go to this thread , there are a lot of weruva foods listed here in post #3 , post numbers are to the left

I think you look under the same two places like in the Weruva to get the carbs and phosphorus %
If Christy likes Pate here are the weruva pages
Take a look here https://weruva.com/nutrition-landing/pates-ni/
Try not to feed a lot of fish flavors , once a week is fine
By the way what a gorgeous kitty Dixie is
