Is Basic Kidney Care Enough for Your 7+ Cat?

Beyond Basic Care: Why Age 7 Changes Everything

You’ve always been proactive about your cat’s health, especially when it comes to their kidneys.
If you’re caring for a cat over 7, have you noticed they’ve been sleeping a little longer lately?
You might think, "They're just getting older," but often, that shift in energy is a signal that their body's internal demands are changing.

If your cat is over 7, it’s time to upgrade their health care.
You’ve been doing everything right—perhaps even following the Greycoat Dr. Toru protocol.


However, as cats enter their senior years, small changes  in energy, appetite, and vitality become more common.

Intensive Protocol was designed to fill these specific gaps.
It isn't a replacement for your current routine; it’s the "extra layer" of nutritional protection your senior cat deserves, focusing on cellular metabolism and antioxidant support when they need it most.

Why Kidney-Care Needs Shift After Age 7

By age 7, a cat’s biological "maintenance mode" requires more specialized support.
At this stage, cellular energy demands rise, and oxidative stress becomes harder for the body to manage on its own. 

While standard kidney-care focuses on foundational support, senior cats often require a more targeted approach to maintain their daily comfort and stability.

Intensive Protocol is especially helpful when:

  • You notice slight fluctuations in their daily appetite or energy levels.
  • A vitality boost for senior cats already on kidney care.
  • You want to provide comprehensive antioxidant support alongside AIM-based nutrition.

One Capsule, 23 Ingredients: Balanced Support for Longevity

Intensive Protocol features a sophisticated blend of 23 ingredients tailored for the metabolic needs of aging cats. 

The 3 Core Pillars of Intensive:

  • Resveratrol: Supports AMPK-related cellular energy balance to help maintain vitality.
  • Quercetin: A powerful flavonoid that helps maintain antioxidant and immune stability.
  • Vitamin B Complex: Essential for supporting cellular energy and metabolic harmony.

The Perfect Duo: Basic vs. Enhanced Routine

Think of Dr. Toru as your foundation and Intensive Protocol as your specialized reinforcement.

Feeding Made Simple

We know that "medicating" a cat can be stressful. We’ve designed this protocol to be as stress-free as possible.

  • Dosage: Just 1 capsule daily, preferably after a meal.
  • Pro-Tip: Feeding the capsule whole using a pill gun or coating it in a favorite lickable treat.
    (Because of the concentrated nature of the 23 ingredients, some cats may find the taste strong.)
