feeding a dog with canine kidney disease?
my baby basset, who is not quite 2 years old, was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. this was a severe shock to me since he is showing no signs of renal failure. the vet is recommending a low protein diet – hills vet formula to be exact, which i am not a fan of. just wondering if anyone out there has gone thru this with your furkid. i’m looking for alternatives to feed him, even if it’s something that i have to whip up myself. i’ve taken away his normal food and have been feeding canned, raw diet, yogurt and water mix to him twice a day. i’m open for any type of herbal remedies – since the dog food that i was feeding to both of my dogs was a holilistic blend. the hills diet that is recommended by the vet contains 6% protein – doesn’t seem like a lot of nutrition to me. does anyone know if lab results leaning towards kidney failure could be the sign of something else. i am seeking a second opinion just to be on the safe side but in the meantime i need to be able to feed my dog

A diet suitable for dogs with failing kidneys can be prepared at home by adding one-half cup of cooked ground chicken breast or two crushed large hard-boiled eggs (no shells) to four cups of mashed potatoes or four cups of boiled brown rice. 30ml (Two tablespoons) of Canola oil, one-quarter Centrum tablet, 100iu of vitamin E, and 500mg of absorbable Calcium from any human calcium supplement, which is free of phosphorus on the label. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol acetate is known to slow the aging process by scavenging free-radicals). The amount prepared should feed a 25 pound dog for a day or two, depending on its activity level and metabolic rate.
A second recipe, originally published by Hill’s Pet Foods, for renal failure in dogs consists of ¼ pound ground regular beef (not chuck or round), 1 large hard-boiled egg, two cups of cooked white rice, three slices of white bread, and a teaspoon full of calcium carbonate and also a multivitamin with vitamin E.
