Intensive Protocol? An Intensely Simple Guide to Cat Kidney Care!

Figuring out what to give your cats can be a daunting task, especially if they’re already sick. What supplements should you be giving your cat? Can your cat take Dr. Toru Protocol supplements alongside the ones they're already taking? Are there any supplements you should avoid? This is especially important when dealing with feline kidney disease, given how susceptible cats are to the disease.

We at Greycoat Research understand your confusion. As such, with the upcoming launch of our Intensive Protocol supplements, we’ve drawn up a simple sample guide to help you visualize a balanced plan for treating your cat’s kidney disease.

Stage 1

At this stage, cats do not show any particular symptoms. However, it is still imperative that you begin taking steps to stall the progress of their kidney disease and prevent it from getting worse.

2 caps. (weight ≥ 4 kg)

Stage 2

This stage is where affected cats begin to lose their appetite and energy, and begin to sleep more often. However, with proper care, you can help your cats maintain their energy levels. A balanced diet, consistent eating habits, and periodic checkups are highly recommended.

Stage 3

At this stage, you’ll be forced to feed your cats less snacks and more supplements. Your cat may suffer from depression as a result of these changes. As such, it is imperative that you take care of both your and your cat’s mental health.
