Try to get 1 can from vet first
By Kate on Oct 8, 2020
Our Tabitha was put on this, she normally eats anything but she won't touch this. I wish there had been a way to get a sample can before I spent so much. Can't return cuz I opened the case and animal shelter won't take cuz its special. Kinda an expensive mistake. Going to have to try some other brand.

My pup loves this
By Bren on Oct 7, 2020
My pup is 14 years old and we just discovered she is having kidney issues she loves this food and it seems to be helping! Chewy got right on getting this food to us! I’ve never had a bad experience with Chewy!!

When all else fails, try this!
By Boosmom on Jul 15, 2020
Our little 14 year old Yorkie has had kidney disease for almost 2 years. We have tried all the recommended varieties of kidney food with varying levels of success. Even the ones he initially liked he would later refuse. We didn’t know ProPlan had kidney food until recently when we had an emergency while on vacation. Little Boo fell down stairs and broke his jaw in 2 places! Getting him to eat was going to be even more of a problem. This vet, who was excellent, recommended ProPlan. From the first smell, Boo was all-in. He has to be hand-fed because his jaw won’t close, but he will eat as much as we are willing to give him.

Homemade food has worked better

My Dog Is A Fan
By K8ie on Jun 28, 2020
My Pomeranian, Kia, has been on Purina NF kibble for five years. She’s done extremely well on it. But recently, when her bowl was put in front of her, she began giving us that ‘this again?’ look. We decided she needed some kind of gravy for her kibble. We purchased Purina’s NF canned food. The canned food mixed with a little little water and stirred in with the kibble has made a big difference to Kia’s mealtime enjoyment. No more disappointed looks from her....and her ‘brother’, who has no kidney issues, also wants some on his kibble, too. :)

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.

Purina delivers with this prescription renal diet
By frntsght on Jul 18, 2020
Switching from normal dog food ( higher protein) to renal diet is tough. NF dry saved the day and now NF can mixed with NF dry is preferred as my dog likes it.

Happy loves it!
By Babs on Jul 20, 2020
My dog, Happy, loves this food. I am so thankful he does. I was very worried about having to change his diet due to his changing medical conditions.

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?
