Please review this article on Chronic Kidney Disease

Here is a list of kidney prescription diet recommendations. I prefer canned food but dry is okay, for any of the below listed diets:

-Hill's k/d diet early support

- Purina NF early care

- Royal Canin Renal Support Early consult

We recommend trying the early support ones first, it may be more palatable than the regular kidney diets that are listed solely as k/d, NF, or Renal support.

There are multiple flavors and types, we may need to try different brands to see what your pet will eat for us.

If you wanted to try offering a sample of a kidney diet to your pet before purchasing a large quantity, you can always pick up a can of k/d here at the hospital. It's not "early support", so it may not be as palatable as the ones above, but it's worth trying anyways. Slowly transition between your pet's current diet to the kidney diet over 3-5 days in order to avoid causing any GI upset, like vomiting or diarrhea.

The easiest way to purchase one of these diets is online or picking up k/d (not early support) from the hospital. Otherwise you'll need a digital prescription for in-store pick up like at petco or petsmart if they keep them in stock.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
