  • Question
    Do you mix the calcium and fish oil in each serving or is it mixed into the entire recipe?
    Community Answer
    You will need 1,000 each of the calcium and fish oil for the whole recipe, not each individual serving.
  • Question
    Is this a diet approved by vets?
    Community Answer
    As a vet, I can tell you that I do not approve of this diet. It is not complete and there are some nutrients that are too high and some that are too low. A good kidney diet for dogs does not only consist of low protein but, for example, low phosphate. I suggest you contact a vet near to you who will be happy to provide you with more information!
  • Question
    Can brown rice be used instead of white?
    Community Answer
    Yes. there is more nutrition in brown rice, though the extra fiber it contains may cause digestive problems initially.
  • Question
    Can I use chicken instead of ground pork or ground beef?
    Community Answer
    Chicken is an excellent substitute, and it's cheaper. Just keep it bone-free.
  • Question
    Can I substitute ground turkey for the pork or beef?
    Community Answer
    You can, but pork and beef are high in protein, defeating the purpose of the diet.
  • Question
    Can this recipe be frozen?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it can. And I would definitely suggest freezing it if you're feeding it to your dog occasionally instead of every day, as it will last longer and you won't have to keep making more.
  • Question
    Is the food mixture supposed to be cooked or fed raw to the pet?

    You should try cooking it so your dog doesn't get sick from raw ingredients.
