Kidney Disease in Cats and Dogs

Kidney Disease in Cats and Dogs

Your pet could be suffering from kidney disease and you may not know it. Kidney disease affects both cats and dogs, mostly in their senior years. However, young pets may have congenital deformities that can affect their kidney health at an early age, too.

Kidney disease can be insidious and "suddenly" appear even though your pet may have seemed perfectly healthy the day before. On the other hand, the symptoms can be so subtle, such as not wanting to eat in the morning, that pet owners just attribute it to old age.
