Yes, but it’s complicated.
While you can give a cat with CKD snacks, you should still try to minimize the amount of snacks you give them.
To put it bluntly, the ideal approach is to not give your cat any snacks at all if you have concerns about their renal health. Most cat snacks are high in protein, phosphorus, and sodium content, and all of them can be taxing on your cat’s kidneys if they already have CKD.
However, caring for a cat with CKD is a long-term process, and mental care can be just as important as physical care. Thus, giving your cat 1 or 2 pieces of a small snack can keep them happy and prevent them from getting stressed, which may do a lot for their health in the long run.
