Ours isn’t classified yet as kidney disease but kidney levels are off. She suggested chicken and rice as we were feeding lamb and rice and was too fatty. We bought a less expensive brand Pro Plan Chicken Rice and giving him HEPATO SUPPORT vitamin for kidney support. Or the other brand was Denamarin both recommended by vet and recheck in 2 months

We use Purina NF. You can also try Dr. Harvey’s canine health. You can order a sample size to try. My guy loved this as well. It’s a dry food base and you add choice of fresh protein and oil.
