Product Information

It’s critical to know what to look out for when it comes to kidney disease as the acute form of the disease can be life-threatening. Even if your dog is “only” suffering from the chronic form, you’ll need veterinary guidance to ensure he stays as healthy and happy as possible. A huge variety of factors causes kidney disease. It occurs when at least one of the kidney’s functions is reduced and can be diagnosed at any point during the kidneys’ decline.

Formulated to support renal function in case of chronic kidney disease. Contains EPA and DHA, a complex of antioxidants and a low phosphorus level. However, while increased thirst and urination are the two most common symptoms of early kidney failure, they’re usually not noticed by other dog owners. Thus, the kidneys continue to decline. It is made with everything a dog with kidney disease needs, including low-protein and controlled phosphorus levels. This food is not explicitly designed for kidney disease. However, it is pretty low in protein and may be suitable for some dogs with kidney problems.However, your dog needs wet dog food in some cases, especially if they need to increase their moisture intake. Manufacturing Some Hormones —The kidneys produce hormones that encourage red-blood-cell production which helps carry oxygen throughout the body.

When it comes to dry vs. wet food, it really depends on the dog. Many dogs can continue to eat whatever they have been eating. Treating the Underlying Issue —Since kidney issues are often a result of another underlying problem, your veterinarian will work to root out any associated ailments that may be overwhelming your dog’s kidneys. For instance, some canine companions with kidney disease have diabetes. Furthermore, it may help the kidneys become more efficient at removing protein from the bloodstream, though more studies are necessary to confirm this theory.Avoid feeding your dog high-protein treats, like meat, jerky, rawhides, chews, pig ears, and cheese.
