Purina NF Kidney Function Canine Dog Food Dry Formula - 25 lb. Bag

My friend has a dog that needed this and her dog really likes it

I tried every renal care dog food out there. I subscribed to a platform that outlines home-cooked meals, which I did every day faithfully. I bought supplements and vitamins. My 15 y/o Chihuaua turned her nose up to it all. But not Purina Pro Plan Renal Care. My cooking vs Pro Plan and Pro Plan wins. Thank you, Purina. What a relief to know I'm doing the right thing and my dog is happy!

Arrived on time and the dog food is very fresh. As dogfood goes, it smelled good and strong which is great because my dog ate it. Prescription Kidney diet, I highly recommend for your picky pooch who needs a low protein, low phosphorus dry dogfood.

I was devastated when my vet told me my 15 year old Pom- was in Kidney failure-There had been no symptoms- Just her regular yearly check up- And that I had to change her diet- I read the reviews on several recommended-products- Decided to try this - believing TessMarie having been on science diet since she was 8 weeks old- Would never eat it- so, -I bought a small bag---wrong- she loves it- I wet it really good,(water) soaking over night in fridge-she loves her three times a day meal-- she is getting better test results- I highly recommend- I am a senior dog owner- not paid or prized for my comments- I hope every dog suffering with or with out symptoms and told to get a NF diet will at very least try this--

I'm not sure if it's this product or just my dog but after 2 months from changing to NF, from Purina one- 13 years- my 13 year old Lab developed pancreatitis and eventually the condition killed him in just 2 weeks. About a month into feeding him the NF, i started to notice undigested kibbles when he went to the bathroom. So again, i'm not sure if it was the food or just my dog's age and his body rejecting the change in food formula. If i could go back and change something, i would have never switched food, but the vet said that my dog's kidneys were at a level two and by changing his diet, you could possibly slow the progression of the disease down. in retrospect, wrong advice imo given my dog's age and the fact that he was used to Purina one for 13 years. The change in food formula could have triggered the pancreatitis. and yes, i slowly transitioned from his food to the NF.

This food caused digestive problems for my dog the first time she ate it. She liked the flavor but within a few hours she was having problems. I soaked a handful of this food in water and several hours later, it still hadn't broke down. I'm under the impression that dog food for kidney disease should break down quickly in the dog's digestive system. I do not reccomend this product, wasted my money and bad for my dog.

My dog had high kidney values so I put him on this dog food and a couple other things I got from Amazon to help lower his kidney values and after a couple months it worked his kidney values were back to normal but he's not real crazy about this dog food but the vet recommended he stays on it. The last bag I got the kibbles look different. They look bigger than usual He doesn't like it at all now I'm not sure what's going on but I'm probably not going to give him anymore of it I just wasted $40 cuz you can't return it. Now I need to try to figure out what kibbles to give him now that's healthy and that he's going to enjoy eating it.

The vet put our dog on Science Diet NF and my dog wouldn't eat it. A friend suggested this instead and my dog started eating again.
