I wish he liked this!
By Lu526 on May 10, 2020
First I tried Hill's k/d but after a day or two when my dog wouldn't eat it (and he has a voracious appetite!), I switched to this. The first day he gobbled it up and I was so relieved. Then he wouldn't touch it. It really must taste awful for these poor dogs. I'm amazed that people are writing how much their dogs love this! It is very, very dry and unappetizing looking. At least Hill's was like a stew. I think I'm going to have to start making homemade foods because the only choice left is Royal Canin and I'm not spending $75.99 a case just to find out he's snubbing his nose to that, too. Sigh. Back to the drawing board.

My dog won't eat it
By gixher on May 5, 2020
My 14 1/2 yr old male yorkie was recently diagnosed with stage 1 kidney failure, the vet recommend this food to help yet he hardly eats it. I have mixed it with his old food to, added warm water, heated it up and even hand fed him but he just licks it and turns away. I am frustrated and not sure if i should try another brand or not?

My baby is finally eating better!
By cockapoos on Apr 30, 2020
I have tried Hill's and Royal Canin veterinary diets for kidney disease and my 12 year old cockapoo hated both of those other brands. Purina is like night and day. She has a better appetite for this food and seems to actually enjoy it.

Kidney Disease
By Joey on Mar 22, 2020
I have a 14 year old Shih-Tzu. Very healthy but has an elevated BUN and the Vet wanted him to go on Kidney Disease food. All I heard from people was the dogs hate it and wont eat it. I put off giving him that food for a year because I didn't want to upset my pal. When I gave him a bowl of Pro Plan NF, Gizmo devoured it. He loves it. I wish I did this a year ago. Gizmo has been on Pro Plan Kibble most of his life. Always healthy.

Dog says no
By Kimmie on Feb 12, 2020
Unfortunately my dog did not enjoy this food. My one disclaimer is that my dog has no teeth, so she struggled a lot with the paté form of food, even mixed with water or broken bits of dry food. However, even when she did get some, she did not like it and stopped eating completely. She was losing too much weight, so I gave her other dog food, which she enjoyed mightily. But if I mixed the NF in with the other, she turned her nose up at it and walked away. So for us, this one is a no-go.

NF Kidney Canned Dog Food
By HeartOfFire on Mar 3, 2020
My pup has been on this food for years and is doing very well. We feed him both the wet and dry NF Kidney Function Formula from Purina. His Kidney Disease is under control and he is doing very well on this diet. We constantly get complements on his coat and he loves this wet food so much. We also use this wet food to sneak him his pills he needs for the kidney disease.

Good report so far
By Ashley on Jan 22, 2020
My Chinese Crested has been notoriously picky his entire life. So, when he got sick with CKD, it was a huge struggle to get him to eat ANYTHING. He flat out refused to eat anything, to the point that he was kept alive with subcutaneous fluids at home. I work in vet med and my hospital recommends Hill's KD, so I started with that. He absolutely would not touch it. My regular vet said that Purina NF is often more palatable so I decided to try it. Im happy to report that hes eating it without a problem! He eats it better than he did all of the expensive non-prescription foods that I had bought for him pre-CKD.

Great choice
By Dieselsmom on Feb 19, 2020
My little dog Diesel enjoyed this food immediately. He has, however, not shown as much interest since day four. I don’t think it’s the food, just that he is having a few health challenges right now. I would definitely recommend this brand.

Always great!
By Kerry on Mar 19, 2020
My Yorkie, Saki has a liver diease and is a picky eater but he jumps up and down when it's feeding time! He absolutely loves this food!

Buy Small First
By Steve on Dec 6, 2019
My girl is a 12 year old diabetic who has been on RC Glycobalance- which took AGES to get her to eat. Of course after buying the lastest of the large bag and several cases of wet, the vet changes to this food. I buy another $200 of food and she completely REFUSES TO EAT wet or dry. Suggestion: Buy the smallest quantity possible. These special diet foods are not conducive to the damaged tastebuds of our babies.
