If the kidneys are diseased, e.g. renal insufficiency, the part of the dog’s kidneys that is still healthy must be relieved. This is why kidney food for dogs contains high-quality protein, a balanced calcium-phosphorus ratio and a reduced phosphorus content. This ensures that the dog’s kidneys have to deal with fewer harmful metabolic products.

Chronic kidney disease is a relatively common problem in older dogs. Unfortunately, this disease cannot be cured, but the progression of the disease can be significantly slowed with suitable feeding and treatment. Renal diets are particularly palatable, as many dogs with kidney disease suffer from loss of appetite. In addition, the special feed has a high energy content. This way, the entire daily needs of your four-legged friend can be covered with a relatively small amount of food, which is particularly useful in dogs with reduced appetite.
