Does feeding an all dry food diet predispose cats to kidney disease as they age?

There is no clinical evidence that dry cat food predisposes cats to kidney disease as they age. Kidney disease is a common disease in our older cats and can happen for many reasons. I believe we see more of it because our cats are living longer lives than ever before due to better care. Cats with kidney disease are often recommended a veterinary diet designed for kidney disease. These diets are to help control the symptoms of kidney disease and their use is not meant to implicate that a previous diet played a role in causing the disease.
