Hi,
I have a 12 year old Wiemeraner who has just recently been diagnosed with kidney failure.. he has done very well to get to this age with nothing so far! so I am looking for the best natural dry food to give him other than the prescription diets the vets say you should use. I struggle to keep weight on him and especially with winter coming do not want to restrict his protein down to the low amount the vet diets do - I have also been told by some good friends who are vets that it is a miff about the lowering the protein and all the tests were done on Rats...!
Has anyone used a good diet that is not high in protein, is low in phosphorus and not acidified? I want to stay as natural as possible - most of the store diets upset his tum!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
Many thanks
