Protein is a very important part of everybody’s diet, including dogs. Protein strengthens muscles and makes the body healthier. Dogs especially need protein but some are unable to digest protein due to kidney disease and kidneys are the organs that filter out the body’s waste. If this organ does not work right the dog will become sick.

What foods should you feed a dog with kidney disease. A dog’s kidney may be affected from toxic foods, certain medications that don’t agree with him or from eating expired foods as well as because not enough oxygen flow to his kidneys.

Some of the signs of kidney disease in a dog could be mouth ulcers, vomiting, loss of appetite, blood in the urine, depression, weight loss and stumbling.

If any of these symptoms appear, you should take him to the veterinarian to prevent further damage. The doctor will prescribe medications and low protein food but when it comes to different brands you should be very careful which to choose.
