The Best Christmas Gift for Pets with Kidney or Urinary Issues

This Christmas, the best gift you can give your dog or cat isn’t wrapped in shiny paper or tied with a bow. It’s something they won’t ask for, but desperately need: health, wellbeing, and quality time with you.  Veterinarians agree: pets that maintain their weight for longer can enjoy a significantly longer lifespan, potentially up to 2.7 times longer when combining a low-phosphorus diet with preventive care.

For pets with kidney or urinary problems, proper nutrition and care are the most precious gifts we can offer.  

Wet Food: Nutrition and Prevention

Veterinarians agree: diet plays a vital role in kidney and urinary tract health. Wet food contains 70–85% moisture, helping dilute urine, reduce crystals, and ease the kidneys’ workload.

Even adding a little unsalted chicken or beef broth, or fresh water to wet food, improves hydration and prevents urinary issues.

Dr Jean Dodds, veterinary specialist in internal medicine:
“Adequate hydration through diet is crucial to prevent recurrent urinary infections and kidney problems. Wet food provides a natural advantage in this respect.”

At Indarpet.co.uk/shop you can find a wide range of high-quality wet foods, from 100% vegan options for dogs, to pâtés, mousse, and top international brands—all suitable for pets with urinary or kidney issues.

Home Products for Comfort and Care

Nutrition is just one part. You can also improve their quality of life with thoughtful products:

• Waterproof blankets: perfect for senior pets or those with urinary incontinence.

• Smart water bowls: track daily water intake to ensure hydration.

• Urine blood detectors: monitor urinary health from home.

• Supplements: algae oil, Proflax and more, supporting kidney/bladder and overall health.

• Playtime and quality time: beyond physical care, giving them attention, gentle exercise, and bonding moments is invaluable.

Veterinarians confirm: proper nutrition, supplements, and supportive home care significantly improve the quality of life for pets with kidney issues.
