Description

A delicate loaf in sauce for cats with chronic kidney disease. The loaf texture is often more palatable than chunks for cats with a reduced appetite, and the formula provides low phosphorus and sodium in a highly appealing format.

Why your cat will benefit

  • Low phosphorus — excess phosphorus accelerates kidney decline, so reducing dietary intake is one of the most impactful dietary changes in kidney disease.
  • Reduced sodium to ease both kidney and cardiovascular strain.
  • High-quality restricted protein, so the kidneys have less nitrogenous waste to filter.
  • Loaf texture with a strong aroma, which often wins over cats with illness-related appetite suppression better than chunky formats do.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.

Features & specification

Important — please read before ordering

  • Consult your vet before feeding a veterinary diet.
  • Check-ups at least every 6 months while feeding it.
  • If your pet's health worsens, seek veterinary advice immediately.

Delivered across the UK — free delivery on orders over £59.99.

Care

General Care & Storage
To get the most out of your Petszo delivery, please keep the following in mind:

  • Edibles: Keep food and treats tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry environment.
  • Fabrics & Beds: Gently wipe clean or wash at 30ºC (always check the individual label first). Do not bleach.
  • Safety First: Regularly check toys and accessories for damage and remove them if broken.
  • Note: Always refer to the specific packaging for exact instructions.

Getting the most out of your Petszo order comes down to storing things properly and checking them regularly. Here's what matters.

Food and treats

Keep dry food tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Resealing the bag or transferring it to an airtight container helps stop the fats going stale, which is the usual reason a dog or cat suddenly goes off a food they previously liked.

Opened wet food should be covered and refrigerated, and used within about 24 hours. Serve it at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge — cold food is noticeably less appealing to most pets and can be harder on sensitive stomachs.

Many treat pouches contain a small oxygen absorber sachet to keep the contents fresh. This isn't edible — remove and discard it before giving your pet the treat.

Beds, blankets and fabric items

Most fabric items can be gently wiped clean or machine washed at 30°C, but always check the individual care label first — padding and covers vary between products. Don't use bleach, as residue can irritate skin and paws.

Removable covers are worth washing more often than you'd think, particularly for pets with skin sensitivities.

Toys and chews

Check toys and accessories regularly for damage, and remove anything that's cracked, split or losing pieces. Small fragments are a genuine choking and blockage risk.

Always supervise your pet with chews and rawhide products, and take away any piece small enough to be swallowed whole. Match the chew size to your pet — a chew intended for a small dog won't last long with a large one, and creates more risk.

Harnesses, collars and leads

Check the fit periodically, especially on growing puppies and kittens. As a rule you should be able to slide two fingers comfortably under any strap — tighter risks rubbing, looser risks your pet backing out of it.

Inspect stitching, buckles and clips for wear, and replace anything showing damage before it fails on a walk.

Litter trays and small pet enclosures

Scoop clumping litter daily and top up as needed; a full change every 1–2 weeks is typical, more often with several cats sharing a tray. Clean the tray itself with hot water and mild detergent rather than strong disinfectants, some of which are toxic to cats.

For small pet enclosures, spot-clean soiled bedding daily and do a full change weekly.

Switching foods

Introduce any new food gradually over roughly 7–10 days, mixing increasing amounts into the current food. Sudden changes are one of the most common causes of digestive upset, and it's easily avoided.

Always check the product packaging. The guidance here is general — individual products carry their own storage, washing and feeding instructions, and those take precedence. If you're unsure about something, or your pet has a specific health condition, speak to your vet.

Delivery

How long will my order take to arrive?

We aim to dispatch orders within 1–7 business days of you placing them. Delivery time after dispatch depends on the shipping method chosen at checkout. You'll receive tracking details by email once your order is on its way, so you can follow its progress with the carrier.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes — delivery is free on all UK orders over £59.99. Orders below that threshold are charged at the rate shown at checkout before you pay.

Where do you deliver?

We currently deliver within the United Kingdom only. We don't ship internationally at present. Please note that a small number of items are shipped from outside the UK and may take a little longer to arrive — this is noted on the individual product page where it applies.

What if my order is late?

Carrier delays occasionally happen, particularly around public holidays or in bad weather. If your order hasn't arrived within the expected timeframe, get in touch with your order number and we'll chase it. If a package is confirmed lost or significantly delayed by the courier, we'll send a replacement or issue a refund.

How do I track my order?

Once your order ships, we email you tracking details. Use these to check live delivery status directly with the carrier.

Returns & refunds

Can I return something if I change my mind?

Yes. Under UK consumer law you have 14 days from receiving your order to tell us you'd like to cancel, and a further 14 days to send the items back. Items need to be unused, in their original packaging and in the condition you received them. Return postage for change-of-mind returns is at your cost. Full details are in our Refund & Return Policy.

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

We'll put it right. Under UK law you have up to 30 days to reject a faulty item for a full refund. For transit damage, contact us ideally within 48 hours of delivery with photos of both the item and the packaging. We cover return postage on faulty or incorrect items and will offer a full refund or a replacement.

Are there items I can't return?

For hygiene and safety reasons, opened or unsealed pet food and treats, used grooming products, personalised items and gift cards can't be returned unless they're faulty.

How long do refunds take?

Once we've received and inspected your return, we'll let you know whether it's approved. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days of us receiving the goods, back to your original payment method.

Can I cancel an order before it ships?

Yes — email support@petszo.co.uk with your order number any time before dispatch. If it's already gone out, you can return it under the 14-day change-of-mind period once it arrives.

Products

Do I need a prescription for veterinary diets?

No prescription is legally required in the UK to buy veterinary diet foods. However, these products are formulated for diagnosed conditions, so we strongly recommend speaking to your vet before starting one — and having your pet checked at least every six months while feeding it. If your pet's health worsens, seek veterinary advice straight away.

How should I switch my pet to a new food?

Gradually, over roughly 7–10 days. Mix a small amount of the new food into the current one and increase the proportion each day. Switching abruptly is a common cause of digestive upset.

How do I store pet food once it's open?

Keep dry food in a cool, dry place, ideally resealed or in an airtight container to stop the fats going stale. Opened wet food should go in the fridge and be used within about 24 hours. Always check the individual packaging, as some products have specific requirements.

5. Tracking your order

Once your order ships, we'll email you tracking information where available. You can use this to check the live delivery status directly with the carrier.

Nope!

Don’t want to give a very low rating because I’m sure eg food is premiums. But my sphynx cat ate the first serving. Was probably curious. But that’s it — no more.

My cat is sceptical

We had some mixed results with this product. I've been searching for renal food for my cat for a while. She tried some of this and was initially interested. But I think she doesn't like the loaf texture and eventually she stopped eating this food. We switched to Royal Canin Renal with Chicken and she seems to like that food more.

Finally a wet food my cat will eat!

My cat is 13yo and she has PKD. Very fussy with wet food. Won't eat anything I put infront of her. She hates gravy, kinda likes jelly but leaves the meat, won't eat soups or pate. I saw something on Youtube and gave it a go. Put the 'loaf' in a bowl, mushed it with a fork and added a little hot water from the kettle. My cat is now eating 1/2 packet of loaf every day! I think she likes not having to chew and just licking. Plus she's getting extra water which is great. Give it a go!!

Expensive

Two of my cats like this, but one doesn't. I buy it for them as they like it, but I wish they would put the price down a bit and give you a bit more of the food. They must be millionaires

Cat never gets bored of this one

My 20 1/2 year old cat was diagnosed with end stage renal disease a year ago and went straight onto RC food when he came out of hospital. He got his appetite back and i tried all the different renal foods but his firm favourite is the renal loaf and there is always a clean plate, in his own time.

Our old cat has got his mojo back

Our old cat (18 years) was diagnosed with kidney disease 6 months ago and was very poorly. Since then, we have given him nothing but Royal Canin Renal Loaf and Renal dry food and he is now alert, enjoying life and thriving. He has one pouch at night as a treat and it has all gone by morning. Compared to our previous cats with kidney problems, this is the first time we have ever managed to get a cat to eat renal food. Well done Royal Canin!

My cats fav flavour

My cat loves this as it’s a mixed meat flavour. Norm size pouch too.

My cat loves this

My cat gets fed up of chicken & salmon urinary food but he loves this one so I’ve mixed the pouches to give more variety

Favorite for my cat

Tried 3 renal foods but this was my cats favourite

One she can't get enough of!

Our senior cat was diagnosed with acute renal failure after being very ill last year and almost lost her, the vets obviously advised she needs to be on a renal diet from now on.\n Trying to find something she'll eat more than a bite of has been tough as she's always been a picky eater.\nThese fab pouches are a godsend for us, she actually runs up and meows for these pouches! it's quite amazing after being at deaths door a cpl times now she's rallied back and I am so happy she has food she clearly enjoys

Finally a food my cat will eat!

As seems to be the case with Renal cat food in sauce my cat just licks the sauce and leave the chunks (even if they are 'small') so she is not getting any real nourishment to build her up. Having tried most of the well known Renal brands I thought I would try this loaf. Neither of my cats have been fond of the 'pate' style of food preferring the real fish type. Quite surprised to see my Amber actually eating this loaf. It does need to be cut into smallish chunks but seems to be a success.

Smooth pate, no lumps

Of the Royal Canin renal wet foods this one is my old boy's favourite because it is a smooth pate. He doesn't have all his teeth and there's no chasing lumps around the dish, no hard lumps of fat. If I think my cat's not drinking enough, water can be easily mixed in to this food to make it softer. I wish the other RC flavours would come in a smooth loaf too.

Need more!

This is the only food my cat will eat, he will not eat the sliced version. However they currently only sell one box at a time! There used to be an option for 4 boxes so I’d only need to order once in a while but now I’m ordering constantly. But of a havoc when I don’t realise how low I am on the previous box!

So happy

My 15 year old cat, as so many others started to have kidney problems. I had to change his food, trying different brands because he wouldn't eat it. It was a struggle.\nThen I discovered this one and I'm so happy, he cleaned up the bowl, and I hope it will remain like that.\nI don't hesitate to recommend this loaf.

Thank you fellow reviewer

My cat, in common with so many other elderly kidney challenged cats, is inclined to lick the gravy off renal diet food. A review praised this renal loaf and boy was she (he) right. Wonderful to see cat hoovering his food again. Eating no longer a chore for him. Quick note to Royal Canin: please package your food in tins, which can be recycled. It's a disgrace that these sachets have to be sent to landfill :(

G
George
Not loaf

Not what I would understand as loaf. I was expecting it to be similar to the pate styles that other brands do but maybe a little firmer, but this is like dryish mush. Cat tried it but wouldn’t eat any more. Very disappointing, I had been so hopeful when I saw RC had a new renal food.

Adie Drury
A food my fussy old Madam will eat

I'm so glad there is an alternative to all the chunks in gravy as all my cat will do is lick the gravy off and leave the lumps behind! Not with this food, this food she loves and actually eats the lot.

Least favourite

Of all the Royal Canin Veterinary Cat renal range, the Loaf is my cat's least favourite. She loves the gravy of the other flavours, but the loaf doesn't come with any sauce.

C
Christina
The only one!

This is the only wet food my elderly cat with renal disease will eat. Actually looks forward to it! Every other wet food I tried (including the other Royal Canin products) is just pushed around the plate...I just hope she won't tire of it

Great new addition!

My 19yo cat has been on a renal diet for three years now and through changing tastes and progression of his CKD his appetite for renal foods (hills and royal canin) waxes and wanes. This new addition to the Royal Canin repertoire has him following me around the house when he sees it in my hand and we wolfs it down spectacularly. As an elderly cat with missing teeth this also seems easier for him to manage than chunks in gravy.\nAll in all, a great food, I hope it comes in saver packs soon!
