Bought to try for first time and my 18 yo cat with signs of CKD loves it so much! She ate an entire mussel (I broke into smaller pieces as a topper to her dry food) the 1st time I fed her. Then whenever I am topping up her dry food bowl at night for overnight feed, she will run excitedly to her food bowl expecting this treat to be given. I have to control the amount to feed her, half a mussel, 2 to 3 times a week.
Green lipped mussels are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA, and ETA), which have anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can lead to muscle breakdown, and omega-3s may help mitigate this.
