There are two main categories of kidney failure in dogs: acute and chronic. Signs of acute renal failure usually manifest over a week or month’s time, while chronic renal failure is present for a longer period. Several factors may be involved that could increase your dog’s risk of developing kidney disease:
•Age
The chance of developing kidney disease greatly increases as dogs get older (over 10-15 years of age).
•Nutrition
Some dog foods high in phosphorus, sodium, and protein can accelerate the progression of CKD.
•Genetics
Some breeds are more likely to develop certain kidney conditions.
•Illness
Other illnesses and health issues can contribute to the worsening of CKD in dogs.

Learn how proper nutrition can help with managing kidney disease in dogs. Read about causes, warning signs & symptoms, and foods that may cause renal failure in dogs.

Don't forget, it's still Happy Cat Month!
Indoor cats depend on their environment for mental and physical stimulation. Make their space engaging with these tips:

Provide vertical areas. Cats love climbing and observing from above. Add cat trees, shelves, or wall-mounted perches so your cat can explore safely at different heights.

Offer interactive toys. Puzzle toys, feather wands, and laser pointers keep cats active and mentally sharp. Rotate toys regularly to keep playtime exciting.

Create a window view. Position a cat bed or perch near a window where your cat can watch birds, squirrels, and outdoor activity. Adding a bird feeder outside the window adds even more entertainment.
