Why are Kidneys So Important? Your dog’s kidneys perform a number of vital functions including elimination of waste products from the body and maintaining an optimal balance of minerals and hydration. A variety of conditions such as toxins or high blood pressure may damage the kidneys which progressively lose their ability to function properly, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Signs do not develop until your dog has lost about two thirds of its kidney function. Damaged kidneys lose their ability to remove waste products, which accumulate in the body. Your dog also loses the ability to concentrate urine and produces larger volumes of urine and drinks more to compensate. Signs of CKD include drinking and urinating more, loss of appetite, weight loss and lethargy. Diet is Important A kidney diet such as Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Canine NF Renal Function is very important in helping to control the condition, slow its progression and help your dog achieve an ideal quality of life. Reducing dietary phosphorus is key to slowing the progression of CKD. Optimising the level and type of protein also helps improve the quality of life of dogs with kidney disease - it minimises clinical signs, whilst still providing energy and helping maintain healthy muscles, organs and immune function. Canine NF Renal Function is highly palatable to ensure your dog will eat and enjoy it despite a reduced appetite. Dietary Phosphorus Restriction To help protect kidney function and slow progression of CKD. Restricted But High-Quality Protein To help reduce the build-up of toxins in the body and minimise loss of muscle. Omega-3 Fatty Acids To help reduce high blood pressure in the kidneys and help support the natural anti-inflammatory processes.

Review: Good eaten each time given - Dog food ok eats with relish Review: Fussy dog loves this. - My 13 year old mixed breed dog was diagnosed with kidney disease last year. My vet prescribed Royal Canin renal dog food and he hated it. I began making renal food, using recipes that I found on line, but after a few weeks he wasn't eating again. 3 months ago Max started with diarrhoea and became very ill and I thought I was going to lose him. My vet prescribed a prebiotic as well as antibiotics and I decided to look for another renal dog food and came across this one. He absolutely loves it. I am so pleased with how well Max now is. It's not cheap if you have a big dog like mine, but it has made such a difference to his quality of life and energy levels and hopefully will help him to enjoy life for a few more years to come. ## Features - Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce blood pressure in the kidneys and maximises the natural anti-inflammatory process. - Dietary phosphate restriction to support kidney function, helping to slow down progression of chronic kidney disease. - Restricted but high quality protein to help reduce the build-up of toxins in the body and therefore improve quality of life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015NXK9OU | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Age range (description) | Baby | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Wild-Caught | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | Low Phosphorus | | Benefits | Supports kidney function and maintains muscle mass in dogs with kidney disease. | | Best Sellers Rank | 104,978 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 2,087 in Dry Dog Food | | Brand | Pro Plan Veterinary Diets | | Brand Name | Pro Plan Veterinary Diets | | Breed Recommendation | Medium Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 172 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Medium | | Flavour | Fish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07613035181472 | | Item Form | Dry | | Item Weight | 4.79 kg | | Item form | Dry | | Manufacturer | Purina Pro Plan | | Manufacturer Part Number | 783109 | | Number of Items | 12 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Size Name | Pack of 12 | | Pet Type | Dog | | Recommended Uses For Product | Diet for dogs with kidney problems | | Special Features | Veterinary diet for dogs with kidney disease, low phosphorus, high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids | | Special Ingredients | Dry | | Special ingredients | Dry | | Specific Uses For Product | Kidney Care | | Specific uses for product | Kidney Care | | Target Species | Dog | | Unit Count | 4800.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Baby - **Brand:** Pro Plan Veterinary Diets - **Flavour:** Fish - **Item form:** Dry - **Specific uses for product:** Kidney Care ## Images ![PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Dog Food Renal Function 400g (12 Cases) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JWlfzYgBL.jpg) ![PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Dog Food Renal Function 400g (12 Cases) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9105xSNp4lL.jpg) ![PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Dog Food Renal Function 400g (12 Cases) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712jRAjZKAL.jpg) ![PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Dog Food Renal Function 400g (12 Cases) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81--TeXEfDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good eaten each time given *by D***N on 4 June 2026* Dog food ok eats with relish ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fussy dog loves this. *by L***Y on 29 January 2018* My 13 year old mixed breed dog was diagnosed with kidney disease last year.
