Protecting your time with your cat — you can start today.
Daily care that protects the time you share with your cat — small changes today, more time together tomorrow.
More than one in three cats may face a kidney health issue in their lifetime.
The kidneys filter waste from the blood and help balance the body's water levels. Their function can gradually decline, and that change affects the whole body.
Once the kidneys are damaged, current medicine cannot reverse it. That's why paying attention before visible changes appear is how you protect the time you share with your cat.

If you notice these changes, please check with your vet.
Changes related to kidney health are often subtle at first. If any of the following appear together or keep recurring, please talk with your vet about the right tests.
- Drinks more water than usual
- Urinates more often
- Eats less
- Has lost weight
- Seems low on energy
- Has recurring vomiting
These changes can appear with a range of conditions, including those related to kidney health. An accurate assessment calls for your vet's evaluation and interpretation of the tests.
Stage 1 · START OF CARE
Healthy on the outside — kidney care starts now.
Keeping steady care from the early stage is how everyday life stays healthy for longer.
At this stage, guardians often consider a kidney-focused probiotic supporting the Gut–Kidney Axis alongside a core option rooted in AIM research.

Probiotics is recommended before the morning meal; Dr. Toru is recommended 30 minutes after a meal. See each product page for full feeding guidance.
STAGE 2 · ADDING SUPPLEMENTS
Renal food is the start — round it out with nutrition care.
At this stage, many guardians are already feeding renal food at their vet's recommendation. For the nutritional gaps food alone can't fill, supplements come in. Guardians often consider options that support kidney cell health and the Gut–Kidney Axis.

Probiotics is recommended before the morning meal; Dr. Toru and Intensive are recommended 30 minutes after a meal. For cats over 3 kg, split Dr. Toru and Intensive between morning and evening.
STAGE 3+ · ACTIVE CARE
When appetite and weight decline, active care matters.
At this stage, appetite decline, lower energy, and weight shifts can appear together. Keeping steady intake and weight becomes the center of daily care. Your vet can help you review renal diet, supplements, and fluid care together.

If tension or stress becomes noticeable, Calm can be considered before bedtime.
Please discuss test results and overall condition changes with your veterinarian.
Special situations
When kidney care meets other situations.
When inflammation is sensitive or when ingredient selection calls for extra care, the direction of daily kidney care can shift. Here are the combinations guardians often consider for these situations.
Inflammation-sensitive
For cats sensitive to inflammation, immune balance matters.
When the mouth, pancreas, or joints are sensitive to inflammation or immune activity, the direction of daily kidney care can shift too. For these cases, guardians often consider a combination that supports both immune balance and kidney health together.

When inflammation is more noticeable, we recommend keeping Dr. Toru to 1 capsule per day regardless of body weight.
DELICATE CHANGES
When cellular changes are underway, thoughtful care is called for.
Some ingredients used in kidney nutrition care call for closer attention during cellular changes. Glutathione, glutamic acid, and arginine, for example, are under ongoing discussion in contexts involving cellular changes such as cancer. This situation calls for a careful, separate approach using only thoughtfully selected ingredients. Steady comfort becomes the center of daily care.
