Your Guide to Renal Diets for Dogs With Kidney Disease
When Should I Feed My Dog a Renal Diet?
Your veterinarian will move your dog onto a renal diet as soon as theyve been diagnosed with CKD. But the diet they recommend will vary based on the stage of kidney deterioration, which progresses from
IRIS Stage 1 to 4.
What Types of Renal Diets Are There?
Once your dog reaches IRIS Stage 2 CKD, phosphorus restriction becomes necessary and so a diet like Royal Canin Renal Supportmay be suggested. As well as being low in protein and phosphorus, it has a high energy density to help maintain weight.
The build-up of waste products in a dogs bloodstream may begin to affect their appetite around stage 2 and many dogs will need extra encouragement to eat. Renal diets are designed to be extremely palatable for this reason, but some diets like Royal Canins go further by allowing you to mix aromas, shapes, sizes, and textures, as well as wet and dry options, to create a variety of enticing flavors.You can also encourage eating by gently warming wet food and adding warm water to dry diets. Because dogs with CKD have an increased risk of dehydration, always ensure they have access to lots of fresh water.If your dog has additional dietary requirements, due to food sensitivity or joint pain, there are different versions of renal dog food availablethat combine the various benefits into one carefully formulated diet.In the final stages of CKD, a veterinarian may use a liquid diet if specific types of feeding tubes are placed.Nutrition plays a major role in the management of CKD and can make a considerable impact on the quality of life of a dog. If you have questions about renal diets or CKD, speak to your veterinarian.
