excellent food
By Vinny on Jun 10, 2020
Our 15 yr old rat terrier had to go on kidney function food. This food was recommended. I thought he would turn it down, his old food would sit there for awhile— we were surprised because he loves it! Now His food is gone in a few minutes.... great choice!

Dog likes it
By Cnweaver on May 17, 2020
My Sheltie is 14 years old and we discovered she has some early kidney disease. Our vet recommended a few kidney dog foods, this being one. My dog likes the food. We soften her food by adding alittle bit of water to it. It has kind of a greasy texture to it but I assume that's just the special formula. Also it's made her poop a bit softer.

The price is right so I am giving it a try
By Toomanypets on May 6, 2020
I have a 13 year old dog who has been a very fussy eater her whole life so I can't be totally reliable source for information. This kibble is light and puffy and reminds me of cereal. I mix it with wet food bc the kidney wet diet is sooo expensive. This was a way to help me to reduce costs. She wasn't and still isn't crazy about it but she is picking at it and I am giving it more time.

He loves it.
By Duke on Apr 23, 2020
My senior dog is the pickiest eater you could come by. I started him on this food with a mixture of the NF canned food of course and he absolutely loves it. Duke is happier he has more energy and is actually eating without me having to sit beside him and encourage him. The canned food helps to make the food more appealing if you are having trouble with your dog liking it I would recommend mixing it.

First time order for this product.
By BDAS on Apr 1, 2020
My issue is with Chewy, not the product, I have not had enough time to determine if it is helping him or not. My 14 yr old Corgi was recently prescribed this food for kidney issues. But my vet had concerns whether he would eat it or not, so I just ordered a 6 lb bag. I ordered the product on 3/18, thinking since this was a prescription Chewy would expedite the processing. I called Chewy and after waiting on hold for over 30 minutes, they told me everything was backed up. I did not receive this until 3/27. On 3/29, I went to order another bag, but the website says all sizes (6, 18 & 34 lb bags) cost the same, $98.99. Tried calling, but after 20 minutes, hung up and just ordered a 34 lb My issue is with Chewy, not the product, I have not had enough time to determine if it is helping him or not.

He loves it!
By Margosmission on Mar 20, 2020
I had heard from friends to not be surprised if my dog didn’t like the food since kidney diets may not be as palatable as regular diets. He was previously on Pro Plan Salmon Sensitive Skin and Stomach and has no issue transitioning to this food. What a relief! Day two of feeding this, and he was actually growling and barking at the container, begging for more. After dealing with the heartache of having a young dog diagnosed with renal failure, this was a comfort knowing he liked his food so much.

Good price

So far this food seems to be what the Dr. ordered...I'm praying it will help extend my chihuahuas life since she has only 25% kidney function

Renal Dog Food
By karen on Mar 17, 2020
Now, that my xolo has developed some renal insufficiency, I'm attempting to find a diet that she will eat. After 3 different brands, my dog will eat the Purina Pro Plan NF Kidney Function Formula Dry Dog Food. She doesn't love it like the original dog food she always ate, but she does eat it. This was definitely trial and error.

My dog won't eat it
