When is dog food for dogs with kidney disease natural, balanced and of high quality?
Low-protein dog food – but what does it say about the quality and quantity of protein?
How should you proceed?
- The highest quality proteins are sour milk products – quark, cottage cheese, yogurt. Just like whole eggs, they contain all the amino acids that are vital for metabolic processes. This increases the biological value. This means that the utilization of the feed – i.e. the conversion into body substance – is improved. They also contain no uric acid. This reduces toxic metabolic products from the outset. And it is actually also the reason for reducing protein.
- 2. Check the dog food for additives. Synthetic additives are allergy triggers. This must be avoided.
- 3. Simply increasing the proportion of vegetables is not the solution either. This supports the formation of urinary stones.
- Feeding offal is taboo due to the high phosphate content.
How should dog food for dogs with kidney disease be composed?
- 1/3 high quality protein – min. 2/3 sour milk products + whole egg + 1/3 meat + fish
- 2/3 healthy carbohydrates – potatoes, buckwheat (not cereals), rice, pasta
- Fiber – carrots, zucchini, fennel
Potatoes are a very good carbohydrate. Superfood buckwheat (not a grain) surpasses this once again with its content of all natural vitamins, minerals and trace elements. You should always add this as a combination partner. The high magnesium content reduces the formation of urinary stones. Divide the daily ration into 3 portions. Make the food palatable with warmed meat broth. It is important that your dog eats something. Mix and match individually. As a dog food for dogs with kidney disease, barfing with its many possible variations is very easy to do with little effort.
