For dogs with kidney problems, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Canine Formula offers balanced nutrition to help support the kidneys. NF is formulated with low sodium, phosphorus and protein to help reduce the workload on the kidneys and help dogs with kidney problems feel better. It offers dietary benefits that provide optimal nutrition while meeting your adult dog's special needs.
Key Benefits- Kidney disease can occur in dogs of all ages, but it normally appears in that of older pets. It can't be cured, but with proper treatment and dietary management you can help make your pup much more comfortable.
- Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF has been specifically formulated to minimize the sign of kidney failure and help slow the progression of the disease.
- Restricted amounts of high-quality protein, low phosphorus levels, and a reduction in sodium all help reduce the workload on the kidneys. Added B-complex vitamins help to protect the body and break down nutrients.
- Designed for dogs with chronic renal failure, hepatic disease associated with encephalopathy, or any condition that benefits from restricted sodium levels.
- Made in the USA!
Use only as directed by your veterinarian. Product not intended for ruminants or livestock.

I can't recommend this product at this time. I'm still in the process of getting my dog to eat it. I feed Purina exclusively and I am a member of the pro club, but it is such a change from a high protein diet to a very low protein diet, that it doesn't seem to appeal to my dog. I'm know more in a month or so when I have the switch finished and the next urinalysis is complete. Hoping for a good report.

I got this food to entice my dog in stage three kidney failure, who does not like Science Diet k/d kibble. This kibble is bigger, and sort of reminds me of puffed corn (personally), which actually my dog enjoyed more. He's not a huge kibble fan, but he likes this hard or with broth, and it was enough to get him to eat a bit. It's also a bit cheaper.

My extremely picky eater has just recently been diagnosed with kidney disease and must be on a low protein diet. Typically this would be a food that he would never eat (would not touch Science Diet KD) but he gobbles this right up. I know there are many prescription foods for kidney disease - so glad I tried this first. Thank you Chewy!

My 13 year old Cairn has kidney issues. She was sleeping a lot with not much energy and drinking alot. Since starting her on the canned along with the dry there is a noticeable difference in her daily life.

I ordered from Chewy because of their fast, reliable service. However, this bag contained very crumbly, broken food pieces as compared to other bags I have had. My dog first refused to eat it until I was forced to strain the “crumbs” out of the food. Tedious process, but since it is a prescription food, I had to make it work.

This is the ONLY kidney function food that my dog will eat. I cook a low protein diet for her and fill in with this dry food. I found it after spending a fortune at the vet trying to find one that she would eat. This is It.

Our vet recommended Kidney Function food for my 11 year old dog. There were several brands that I could get. I choose Purina since she liked other kinds of Purina food. She likes it and is eating it heartily. Hopefully it extents her life. Shipping was fast and I was happy that Chewy contacted the vet for the order.

My 13 year old dachshunds love the Purina Plan NF dog food. The first shipment arrived today and my pups devoured the kibbles! I am so happy with their reaction and I pray that their lab tests will show improvement in their kidney function.

My small dog has a difficult time eating this dry food. The chunks are large and very hard and hard for her eat. She also does not like it very much, they are very very dry.

Willow, my 13-year-old cocker spaniel, has kidney disease and the vet recommended this food. She is very picky about all of her food, but she loves this formula! Here’s hoping her kidney numbers improve as well
