Can the kidneys be called a weak point in cats and dogs?
Insufficient fluid intake and receiving food in the form of dry chips provokes kidney problems in animals.
Self-selected food for cats or dogs from unverified manufacturers does not immediately make itself felt. Only after a certain period of time do the owners notice that the pet is behaving more than strangely. Dry food is quite a convenient thing, especially when you don’t have enough time to prepare natural food. But you should always monitor the dose consumed by the animal, and also always give as much water as possible. The bowl with it should be nearby and not empty, which at least somehow compensates for the absorption of liquid by the food.
But it is not only the lack of sufficient drinking regime that is responsible for kidney problems in an animal. There is also an anatomical basis here. The structure of the body and urinary ducts have bottlenecks. Therefore, patency decreases, and blockage of the ducts becomes a frequent companion for the pet.
