Purina PRO PLAN are committed to producing the most innovative diets based on cutting edge proven science to support optimal health and wellbeing in dogs and cats.

The Purina PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets range are only available for pets with specific health conditions and should be used under Veterinary guidance.

The Purina PRO PLAN Veterinary Diet Canine NF Renal Function is a complete veterinary diet for dogs with chronic kidney disease.

PRO PLAN NF contains restricted amounts of phosphorus as this mineral can build up in kidney patients and has been shown to contribute to progression of the condition.

The food also contains limited amounts of high quality protein to help reduce the build-up of toxins, while helping to maintain muscle mass.

Omega-3 fatty acids also help maximise the natural anti-inflammatory processes and reduce blood pressure inside the kidney.

Please note that all indications for the Purina PRO PLAN Veterinary Diet are for the dietary support of dogs with the listed conditions and do not preclude appropriate medical management.

PRO PLAN NF is not suitable for dogs that require a high protein/phosphorus diet such as pregnant bitches or growing puppies and should be used under veterinary supervision.

What is the best food to feed a dog with kidney failure?

Ideally, Dr. Mahaney says, you would be feeding your dog "fresh, cooked, moisture-rich, lean protein sources, including chicken or turkey breast, or defatted beef."

What foods should dogs with kidney problems avoid?

High salt (sodium) diets may increase blood pressure and may worsen kidney damage, so diets designed for pets with kidney disease are low in sodium. You should also avoid feeding high salt treats such as cheese, bread, deli meat, and many commercial dog and cat treats.

What can I feed my dog to help his kidneys?

Feed organ meat as 10-25 percent of your dog's diet. It's especially important to feed your dog kidneys. The nutrients in kidneys can help support the kidney itself. If you can't get kidneys easily, feed glandular supplements that contain kidney and other organ meats.

Is brown rice or white rice better for dogs with kidney disease?

Avoid grapes + raisins which have been linked to kidney failure in some dogs. *Grains- If you do feed grains stick to those low in phosphorus. White rice is lower in phosphorus than brown rice and cream of wheat, cream of rice, malt-o-meal and tapioca are low phosphorus alternatives.
