Why Hydration is Key for Senior Kidneys
Share
If there is one "Villain" that stalks almost every senior cat, it is kidney disease. Cats are desert animals by nature; they have a very low thirst drive because they evolved to get moisture from their prey.
In a modern home, feeding dry kibble to a senior cat is often a recipe for chronic dehydration, placing immense stress on their aging kidneys.
You might be wondering, "Wait, aren't your Wild Life cubes freeze-dried? Isn't that dry?"
Yes, but that is actually their superpower. Because our cubes have a moisture content of only 3.15%, they are like a flavor sponge.
Unlike a hard biscuit, our cubes are designed to be crumbled and rehydrated. You can crush a cube over their wet food or mix it with warm water to create a nutrient-dense broth.
This entices them to drink more fluid while delivering high-quality protein that supports muscle mass without overloading the kidneys with phosphorus-heavy fillers. It’s a way to hack their thirst drive and protect their most vulnerable organ.
