Hi there! Great question, and it’s wonderful that you’re paying close attention to your pet’s dietary needs. Both "Royal Canin Renal" and "Royal Canin Renal Select" are formulated to support kidney health in pets, particularly those suffering from chronic kidney disease. However, the main difference lies in the formulation and palatability.
The standard "Royal Canin Renal" diet is crafted with specific nutrients to help manage kidney workload and maintain overall health. On the other hand, "Royal Canin Renal Select" not only has the benefits of the renal formula but also includes a special texture and flavor to entice pets who are picky eaters, which can be common when they’re not feeling their best.
At home, you can encourage your pet's kidney health by ensuring they have fresh water available at all times, which helps to keep them hydrated and their kidneys functioning properly.
Watch out for signs like decreased appetite, vomiting, increased thirst, or weight loss, as these can indicate a more serious progressing kidney issue. If you notice these, or if you have any concerns about which diet to choose, don't hesitate to reach out.
Feel free to book a video consult with one of us here at Dial A Vet. We’re more than happy to help support you in keeping your furry friend as healthy and happy as possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
