How to Find a Recipe for Dog Food for Dogs With Kidney Failure

1). Ask your veterinarian for a referral to a veterinary nutritionist. Regard your veterinarian and any other health professionals as part of a team dedicated to keeping your dog healthy and happy. Most vets willingly refer clients to specialists.
2). Look for a holistic vet who has experience with kidney failure. Holistic vets treat the "whole dog" with complementary medicine and many will help you with a dog food recipe and supplements.
3). Contact a veterinary college (see the Resources section). Ask if they provide nutritional counseling over the phone---several do, sometimes for little or no charge.
4). Be prepared to administer intravenous fluids to your dog at home, no matter what sort of diet she is on. It's critically important that a dog in kidney failure get enough water to flush her kidneys. Ask your veterinarian for supplies and instructions on how to do this at home. It may sound intimidating, but it is really not that difficult.
5). Use the Internet wisely. There is a lot of information on dog feeding and recipes for dogs with kidney failure online, but what works for someone else's dog may not work for your dog. Use the Internet for research and information, but rely on professionals with hands-on experience for recipes and a supportive diet for your dog.
