Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Formula Dry Dog Food

My girl has always been food driven, as opposed to toy driven. Morning and night feeding time was the highlight of her day. She would jump for joy like a puppy every single feeding time. And it never mattered what food we fed her. She was delighted to dive into the dish. Recently, however, she was diagnosed with kidney disease and I decided to purchase purina kidney prescription food. I purchased the large bag because of convenience. Who knew she would hate it? Yup. The dog who would jump for joy and dive into a bowl of anything I’d given her over the years. Immediately stopped being excited when I introduced this food. Now I have to coax her to eat. How sad . I tried adding water. I tried My girl has always been food driven, as opposed to toy driven. Morning and night feeding time was the highlight of her day.

corn. I am not a nutritionist. I am not a vet. However, corn is not a food I think of as good for , well, anyone. The nutrition levels as listed on this product do meet the requirements of a renal diet for a dog. I just, thats a lot of money for a diet which has the first ingredient is corn. My dog does eat it willingly.

I have always fed my dog Purina and have confidence in their food. However, my 14 year old shih tzu won't eat this at all. He is not a fussy eater so this surprised me. The kibbles ae large and very tough so I tried a small amunt of water with a dash of canned pumpkin for flavor a softness. Nothing worked.

My elderly dachshund was just diagnosed with stage 2-3 renal failure. I read that some renal diets taste lousy, and dogs won’t eat them. I’ve had good experiences with pro plan in the past. I’m glad I chose them again. Dog scarfs it down just like his old dog food. It won’t cure him, but a palatable diet which is good for him should help him live longer and more comfortably. It arrived quickly too. Thanks Chewy.

My 7 year old lab had his blood work done and there was some concern about a reading that could be related to his kidneys so the vet put him on this formula. He loves the food (well, all food for that matter) and no side effects at all. Waiting for the blood work to come back to see if this regime has helped his numbers.

I'm happy I stuck with the Purina Pro Plan line of foods. She was currently eating Purina Pro Plan products and she adjusted easily when I introduced this new product to her. The Pro Plan Veterinary Diet, Kidney Function dry food is working well so far.

It's sad because my dog likes this food but I have to soak it. As with age comes some teeth sensitivity and this kibble is so big I have to soak it. I am going to try a different food. I would stick with this one if it came in smaller kibble.

We recently found out that our dog appears to have trouble with kidney function. He wasn't eating his favorite food or any other food we tried. He developed an abscess, which sent us to the veterinarian. She treated that with antibiotics. His weight loss alarmed her so she did a complete blood test and found indications of poor kidney function. We ordered Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diet - Kidney Function. Chewy made it so easy. We just submitted our vet's name and they contacted her to verify the prescription. Rocky loves this food, gobbles it right up. He even gives me the stare-down at 4pm because he is so ready for supper. The vet suggested we test his kidney enzymes in a month to We recently found out that our dog appears to have trouble with kidney function.

My 14 lb Pom mix came down with kidney disease. For months he was lethargic and very slow moving. After getting him on antibiotics and changing his diet, he is a new dog. He runs and plays and nips my heels like he hasn't in years. He is 14 years old and I just thought it was an age problem but that is not true. He doesn't love this food but will eat it with broth and some wet food on top. My only problem is that the kibble is rather large for a small dog with not that many teeth. Soaking it first helps but smaller kibble would be better. Yet, very glad to have food that allows him to enjoy life.

My pup was diagnosed with kidney failure in September. 5 months later she is doing much better! She was not a fan of the wet NF, but she loves the dry NF (with some sardines mixed in:). Hoping for another good check up!
