I can't seem to find anything about this specific renal formula online, it might be exclusively available in Asia, I'm not too sure. It's called "SmartHeart Gold Feline Veterinary Diet Renal". Since CKD is a sensitive diagnosis for a cat, I want nothing but the best diet for my kitty within my means. If anyone has fed this to their cats, please let me know if you've faced any complications or if its a good idea to switch my cat to this food. Thankyou.

My cat recently got diagnosed with CKD IRIS Stage 2. I'm looking for a store that sells prescription renal diets. Ideally, I'm trying to get him into Royal Canin Renal Cat food (both dry and wet)

Any suggestions on which store sells these at a lower price or has a variety of options? Both online and physical stores would be appreciated.

Additionally, If you're a pet parent who has dealt with a CKD cat before, How much does it roughly cost per month on a good renal diet?
