My dog usually doesn’t like dry food by itself and usually have to mix it with wet food. Since being prescribed this kidney care dog food I was concerned she wouldn’t eat it. But she loves it!!! Never any left over in her bowl and I don’t need to mix with wet food which is great!! My only negative is that it doesn’t come in a bigger bag. For her weight she requires just over 3 cups per day and it doesn’t last long.

A good dry food for dogs who are starting to have problems with their kidneys. As with all specialised foods it's expensive, however, it's cheaper when purchased through Pet.co.nz

Our dog was put onto this food as she is at the beginning of renal failure. She didn't like the food unfortunately, and it gave her a sore tummy (we could hear the tummy rumbles across the room) We persevered for 2 months thinking it may have been the usual upsets when switching foods until she stopped eating completely. When she went in for blood tests at the vet her blood was fatty - we were advised to stop this food immediately. I'm not surprised it upset her tummy when I looked at the ingredients - lots of grains. I am sure it's great for dogs with kidney troubles that can digest it well, but it isn't for our girl.
No, I wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
