what is the sodium and phosphorus #?
Answer by • Aug 31, 2022
This variety contains approximately 0.2% Sodium and 0.25% Phosphorus content on a dry matter basis.
I will add a disclaimer that I put shredded chicken on top of my dog's food to entice her to eat, but will clean her plate, which is the goal. However, I'm not a fan of the consistency of this food. Once it has been refrigerated, it's very dense and not so much a "pate," and difficult to measure out and mash up for my dog.

what I expected
My dog likes this because it looks like regular dog food. It must taste good because he eats it fine. What a difference it has made in his health and well-being!

Awful Food
This "wet" food is awful. Cannot stir it. It's a hard paste and even harder when you have to refrigerate some not used. Our dog will not eat it. Tried adding water, putting in microwave to soften, etc...

My dog will not eat it
I know this is good for my baby who has kidney issues, but it does not help if she will not go near it. She has lost too much weight, so to get her to eat, I have had to resort to her favorite food.

Good taste
My dog had been in kidney failure for many months, and then having trouble eating. This chicken wet dog food was a way to get Bella eating again. I mixed the chicken (solid) along with the stew variety.

Good Product but dented
Delivery was on time and this product is prescribed for my dog and he seems happy to eat it. I bought a case and about 5-6 cans were dented enough so it was difficult to open even with a manual can-opener.

On and off
Sometimes my dog wolfs this down but other times she will not touch it! I have to switch it up but when she likes it, it seems to keep her levels stable. Be wary of the fat content though if your buddy has pancreatitis.

K/d wet food
I know this is what my little dog needed but she hated it. It was so hard to get her to eat it. It would be wonderful if the company could make it more appealing to the dogs.
