Our dog was diagnosed with kidney disease a couple months ago. He already didn't want to eat and the prescription diet food didn't help. He didn't like any of it, but once he tasted this homemade food, he started eating again! He's back to his old happy self again! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! You've brought the puppy back out of him!
I’m so happy for you and for your baby! I know how we worry so much when they don’t want to eat. We constantly look to make sure there are no signs of distress from their kidneys. 🙏🏼
So glad 2 hear 💚💋🐾
@@sclark22223 I've heard from a lot of people that dogs are allergic to chicken breast I did a test on Morgan come to find out she was allergic to that's just my experience than opinion
DITTO!!!!
The homemade raw dog food the rest of my dogs eat that dont have KD, shows the phosporous content of the chicken, turkey and duck recipes and they have almost double that of the beef and lamb recipes.
I made this recipe for the first time 10 days ago. My dog with renal failure refused to eat the prescription diet and has been a very particular eater for some time. She loves this recipe! She has eaten it twice a day for 10 days in a row and I cannot remember the last time she has done that. She is energetic and now runs into the kitchen when she hears me pick up her bowl. She also has stopped getting up multiple times throughout the night to go out. We are getting a blood test in coming weeks . I expect it to be very good based upon her improvement thus far. I cannot thank you enough!!!!
So glad to hear she's doing so well! Bless her heart!
@@Topdogtips101 update on my dog. The last time she was tested in December, she had been on this homemade food recipe only 10 days and her BUN and creatinine were pretty bad. It is now three months later and she had another test today, 3.7.2023. I am so pleased to say she has NOT lost any weight in three months (she was steadily losing prior to December). Both her BUN and creatinine values have fallen (instead of increasing). Her vet said "continue doing what you are doing - she is holding her own". This food has made all the difference. and she still loves it! I will never be able to thank you enough.
Any one tell me ingredients

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. My 13 y/o old was diagnosed with kidney disease about 8 months ago. We have been through a lot of different kidney diet foods between the Vet's office and PetSmart, but after a few weeks our dog would stop being interested. I had to sit on the floor with him and try to hand feed him just so he would eat a few bites. About 2 weeks ago he stopped eating all together. Today for the first time I made this recipe and HE ATE EVERY SINGLE BIT OF FOOD IN HIS BOWL. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!!
I am LITERALLY going thru this now - I am handing feeding my small yorkie who was just prescribed Royal Canin Renal canned food - he liked it at first but now is being picky - and its only been two weeks. I am going to try this
P H i have the same problem with my Yorkie. Tried this today, he ate most of it just left some bits out. I think he doesn’t like the rice. I will let u know next week how he’s doings. Hows urs?
how are your dogs doing? just found this recipe and also having to sit on the floor trying to get my bichon to eat at least a little? any update with your yorkies?
P H My 10 yo Yorkie is responding the same to Royal Canon food.. I’ve been hand feeding him, putting food on fancy plates, buying food that he shouldn’t be eating, mixing in carrots,beans, sweet potato,cauliflower. In addition I give him subcutaneous fluids every other day. Going to attempt this recipe. I hope to find a solution to extend the quality and time of his life. How did your Yorkie respond?
@@monicarea9987 The recipe he loved. The problem is he almost died. Within about a week his response was to stop eating the cooked food which then resulted in loss of weight and vomiting. I rushed him to the vet and he advised that his BUN and creatinine numbers were above the charts. And that giving them food high in protein was not recommended for dog with chronic kidney disease. He Ended up in the hospital for about two days he’s back on sub Q fluids and eating his Royal Canon food with no issues LOL. However I have found something that is working and his numbers are improving quicker than with RC and Fluids alone....look up epakitin on amazon by vetoquinol. It is a phosphate binder powder that I add to his food it apparently taste good to him tomorrow he goes in for another check up hopefully his numbers will have decreased again will let you know.
This is what I feed my dog. Her crea is now back to normal. She's healthy now. I cant thank you enough.
How much was your dog's creatinine level? @Pauline Jamora
@@sanjanamallikarjun9461 Hi! It went 2.9 and now it's back to normal which is 1.1 ❤️
Hi Pauline! What supplements your did your dog take? My two dogs have high crea I hope you can help me
@@PaulineJamora hi what medication were they on?
@@PaulineJamora my doctor can't figure out what to do since she put him on sucralfate and metaclopromide for his hi cre levels
Valentine was diagnosed with kidney disease on Mon 10/10/2022, she hasn't eaten since Sun but my vet isn't overly concerned about that because she's a German shepherd. She'll eat treats but no actual food. She's been raw fed for 8 years and I'm praying for a miracle. She's 13 and besides this, she's bright and as healthy as a dog her age and breed can be. I will give this recipe a go. Thank you so much for making this xxx
Can I use white rice instead? I read from Nutritional Information on Selected Foods that white rice has lower phosphorus than brown rice.
This helped to get sdma score from 15 to 6 on my dog. I gave one cup prescription diet along with this. Also stopped giving any flea tablets
Great recipe and thanks for the tip , just a side note that it is VERY important to add a phosphate binder into the mix,. a good one is dried crushed egg shells which also gives them calcium. They also need a heap of omega 3 and a good probiotic.
I’m just curious, shouldn’t phosphate be avoided? I really am asking, I am just confused. Thank you so much!
Emmi B She said a phosphate binder, not phosphate. Yes, Phosphate should be avoided. The binder removes them. I get mine from the vet.
If you follow this recipe, how many egg shells do you recommend to add?
1/2 teaspoon of ground egg shell per pound of meat.Im not sure what the ratio would be with egg whites..probably same=1/2 teaspoon so this recipe would call for1+1/2 teaspoon of ground eggshell
Thank you so much for this recipe
I am making this now for my 11 year old lucky boy he was diagnosed with heart failure april 1st 2020 and 3 days later he was diagnosed with renal failure he stayed at the vet for 1 week getting flushed they send me home with Kidney Care wet food but he does not like it I went back to the vet and he advised me to cook chicken with steamed rice and vegetables he liked it for but last night he wasnt having it after all the great comments I saw I thought to give it a try I will let you know how it goes🧡
He loves it🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm sending you a virtual hug I am literally in tears right now 😭😭😭😭
Thank you sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!🧡🧡🧡🧡
I adopted my dog about 8 years ago when he was 10... he always had a sensitive stomach and we struggled with finding a food that wouldn't make him violently ill. We'd find a brand, stick with it for a year or two and then started having issues (diarrhea and vomitting). When he turned 16, nothing seemed to work. The only thing he could keep down was a homemade recipe I found. About 6 months ago, my vet said his kidney levels were elevated and suggested switching to a homemade diet specific for kidney disease, which lead me to this recipe. It was closest to what I had been feeding him already so it was an easy transition. I just had his levels re-checked.... they are NORMAL. "My vet laughed and said whatever you are feeding him is working, keep it up. I'd be happy to see these lab results for a 10 year old dog, let alone an 18 year old." This recipe, along with a very low dose of Enalapril, were the only changes that were made.
What is the recipe please?
Pls share the recipe my 14yr old Pomeranian baby has been diagnosed with kidney issue
I've read that sweet potatoes contain a lot of phosphorus, but if they are sliced and boiled for a long time it removes most of the phosphorus. Obviously do not use the water they were boiled in.
This recipe is pretty close to what i make for my dog. December 7th 2018 my 10 year old bull terrier was diagnosed with extreme kidney failure. The vets only recommendation was euthanasia. I started researching canine renal failure because i wasn't ready to give up on her. For two weeks i took Millie in for IV fluids to help push out the toxins and i started making her food from scratch. I took her back to the vet January 25th 2019 and her numbers are cut in half! The vet was amazed at how good She looks! Don't give up if your pup is diagnosed with kidney disease, it doesn't have to be a death sentence.
Hi! We have a bull terrier (4years) and showing signs of renal failure. Taking her to the vet in 2 days, but til then..can you let me know what diet you put her on? Thank you!
@@JeannaGShim i would say to get her off the kibble right away. It can be a little time consuming to hand make dog food, so you can get cans of prepared dog food from your vet specifically for kidneys until you have time to prepare her food. The recipe in the video is very good and would start there. I also give my dog filtered water, tap water has too many pollutants.
Thank you!:)
Kat Pea can I ask what you make for your dog, mine has just been diagnosed with stage 5 failure and given 3 months. I’m frantically looking what’s best for her. I’m in the uk so can’t really get pumpkins this time of year.
@@Ittybittytwinky i apologize for the late response. A friend of mine who has never fed her dogs commercial dog food recommended to feed your dog like you feed your family. Meaning: give her/him something different each time you make food, just remember to keep it 50-50; half protein and half veg and fruit. Two ingredients i always use are celery and parsely, those are very good at cleansing the blood and since the kidneys are currently sluggish that will help. I live 40 minutes away from where Libbys pumpkins are grown and always have canned pumpkin available (that's the only canned vegetable i use, everything else is fresh). Good luck to you and your pooch!
This recipe lowered my dogs high kidney levels in 1 month. She was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, excessive calcium. She had 10x higher levels than normal. She had a surgery on her thyroid and had a remove a mass. All this had affected her kidney and vet recommended low protein diet. Her blood levels for kidney were 2.9 and had a high bun level. After 1 month her bun level went to normal and kidney level to 1.9. Still high but great improvement. She also has lots spunk, not peeing in the house and energy. Thank you some much for sharing this recipe it has been a blessing.
Parsley is generally safe for your dog in small amounts. However, large amounts of parsley can cause stomach discomfort and diarrhea. It may also act as a diuretic which could lead to dehydration. Excessive amounts of parsley given daily can be toxic to the dog's liver.Feb 13, 2016
I am not doubting your research, but I will say I've fed my dog this food for 6 months and he had both elevated kidney and liver functions. His kidney levels are now normal and his liver functions decreased significantly as well and are hovering at just slightly elevated, where as before they were high. Works for my dog!
@@michaelhaug7067, how is your dog now? Any weight gained? Still using this recipe? I was, just yesterday, told that my dog has kidney failure and I am searching for recipes. Thanks.
Sally Pyle ` how is your baby doing?
@@Kricket2020 , we had to put him down on 8/11. Broke our hearts. He was in stage 4 kidney failure. He did love the homemade food, but just, as for the previous 20 or so days, couldn't digest and it came up.
Sally Pyle ~ here is you message, I couldn’t find it before. I’m so sorry for your boy. We lost our boy this summer too. Still mourning. 💔
One important factor that I didn’t hear was always used filtered or distilled water with dogs that suffer from KD
My greyhound (now almost 13yrs old) has been on this with a mix of kibble for 2 1/2years and he is doing so so so much better. He was so sick but is now so good. I also give him a supplement that I crush up from a mix of calcium, Vit B, vit C and a bit of sodium bicarbonate. The calcium binds to phosphorus and helps flush the kidneys. I also give him Pet Wellbeing Kidney Support drops with each meal. I’ve been doing all of it plus the coenzyme 10 for the entire time and he’s doing so great I don’t dare change anything. Thank you.
Oh and now I cook all the components using my instant pot, throw it all in a large stock pot and use a stick blender to purée it all. makes it much simpler
do you mind telling me what the blood results were when you put your dog in this diet. we are struggling to get out dog to eat the kidney prescription diets and also afraid to put her back on real food. did your dogs kidney parameters go down after eating this diet? thanks for any advice 🙏
@@RosieRosebud Yes the blood test did improve but really the major improvement was how he felt. It was 2018 when he got sick, he didn't want to eat, had no energy, his stomach was making really strange noises, etc. We did start out with the vet food (I think it was Royal Canine Kidney support) dry and wet combined. And I think I bought at least a few bags and cans of that plus the calcium supplement they advised "Aventi Kidney Complete". But then after reading and finding this food I realized that protein isn't the enemy for dogs with kidney disease, phosphorus is. In fact because our dog is a senior and a greyhound he really needs the protein (well all dogs do) to maintain muscle mass and a healthy weight. The vet food was mostly corn which doesn't have phosphorus but also doesn't have much of anything useful to maintain a healthy body weight.
I don't think his kidney numbers would be all that valuable to you as he is a greyhound and they have different blood chemistry especially kidney (normal greyhound kidney levels are much higher than other dogs, so his are crazy high). We didn't even retest his blood until just a few months ago, he is feeling and doing great.
You might want to start on the vet food (we did) but longterm I would move away from it so your dog doesn't loose too much muscle mass. Good luck! Give him lots of fresh water too. If he really has no appetite at all I think there are some pills the vet might have to encourage the appetite as a last resort. Or try doctoring the vet food with wet food overtop or add some of this food overtop.
Thank you for this recipe ❤I’m going to make it tomorrow for my 15 years old boy with high BUN result! He’s going to love it ! And my younger healthy dog will want to eat it , too 😊
After at least 21 days of turning his nose up at, or barfing up, every food I tried, , I made this and he lunged for it. He LOVES it. Then, when I took him out into the yard, instead of profound lethargy, he displayed normal behaviors. 4 big comfortable poops, walking with purpose, sniffing around, lunging and barking after a rabbit, lifting his leg to pee. We are, as suggested by another commenter, for 2 weeks, trying every-other-day subcutaneous fluids, going for his 2nd treatment today. After the first, his ears perked up noticeably. Praying that The LORD will restore what the canker worm has eaten. Please pray for our Schnauzer, Sarge!
Oh wow we also have a 27lb schnauzer Winston rescued over 10 years ago from an organization, recently diagnosed with kidney disease after he'd had a number of seizures on and off over several months time! He turned 13 in June . Our vet did iv fluids attempting to flush his kidneys over a 3 day period, only home nights during that period. His numbers got bad again and now we're doing infusions at home, back on Monday to recheck his numbers, will then know for sure if his kidneys are failing. Prayers for both our babies God Bless!
@@777Hannah1 How is he doing now?
@@sirgib9 yeah, I wish they would respond to your question. 🥺
done
@@sirgib9 so sorry. The very next day as we were putting him in the car for his next treatment he barfed everything up. Even after I told him how well Sarge responded to the food, the vet and my husband convinced me it was time to let him go. So heartbreaking.
My 3 lb yorkie is in the ICU today with kidney infection and possible kidney disease.. i will start cooking for her and try this meal..after talking with Vet later today
thank you so much…
Any vet that tells you feed low protein, isn't helping your canine friend..... Studies from decades ago, proved this was wrong. Drs pushed steroids on my friend. Out of ignorance I listened & gave them to her. Within days, her behavior became bizzare. She didn't get excited for a drive, or let's go, or let's take a walk..day ten, she would lay down, & sit up, & lay down & sit up, this went on for 15 minutes until I picked her up, & that night I decided that was it. Within the next wk I weaned her off, & picked up vitamin k, our concern was internal bleeding.. The k, & turmeric put her blood tests back to normal. Now, 10 years later at 15 her kidneys are a problem. The vets pushing they're kibble & they're canned crap. I use the vets for blood tests only. Lifetime Prednisone was they're solution 10 years ago, had I done that, Cushing's disease would have killed her long ago. Remember, vets make $ off of Sick animals not healthy ones. I'm grateful for one vet, that leveled with me, about vets in general.....His warning, they learn, what drug companies teach. As far as nutrition, 90% of vets, will push you towards, whatever they're selling. A good vet will steer you right, but they are hard to find. Most want you to believe, the same sOluTionS they were taught. You can walk into most any vets office, a sniffle, an itch, etc etc it's bizarre how often they're solution is Prednisone. Btw if your dogs on pred & won't walk, it's possible it's vision is blurry, it swells the eyes....It's bad news.......
I read that sweet potatoes contain high levels of both potassium and phosphorus and should be avoided for renal patients. Do you have different data?
Thank you so much for this recipe. My 4 year old labradoodle was just diagnosed with level 2 kidney disease. Going to do this recipe for him. Thanks again!
Iv'e read that both sweet potatoes and pumpkin are very high in phosphorus which is very bad for ckd. I thought this diet sounded great and healthy until i looked it up. I am skeptical now... I also notice many people are saying in the comments here that parsley is also bad for dogs with kidney issues. Can you explain? What is your reasoning for using those ingredients?
Thank you so much for this recipe. My dogs love it!
But I think I did it wrong with the proportion. My dog had undergone surgery due to his kidney stones last June 1st. He was recovering well. As per his vet’s advised.. we stick to his renal diet ( royal canine urinary s/o) and daily subcutaneous fluids. After two weeks, his creatinine level went down to 2.12 from 2.60 before his surgery. I’ve been feeding him the same food since last July 13 when I started to notice some episodes of vomiting, he threw up some undigested food. I found this video and tried this one for him. He gained weight and he really loved this until the second week of August, when his stool turned watery.. with the presence of pumpkin on it. We went to the vet yesterday and his creatinine is now 2.57. And he lost weight again and seems in pain. If you aren’t sure about the right proportioning, better to not try this. Or You might feed your furbabies once in awhile but not for daily meals. You can also ask to your vet first before giving this to your little precious. ❤️
Question:
Wouldn't it be better to leave the ground beef raw? I read that cooked meats have more phosphorous which is bad for dogs with kidney failure. Also, does it matter what lean meat/fat ratio is used?
I have the SAME questions! And getting a definite answer is proving difficult. Did you ever figure this out?
Cooked meat has less phosphate than raw
Can't always get fresh green beans (or other veg) where I am. I can my own with nothing in the jars but veg and water. I also can my own pumpkin and such. I've even started canning my own dog food so if I have to go anywhere & bring my dogs with me, I have my own food for them. Easier than hauling frozen stuff especially on long trips. Also limited freezer space so canning it works.
Found your recipe a while back. Awesome!
I just found out today that my Mione has kidney failure. I'm definitely going to try this. She is a fussy eater and I hope she likes it. Going to try another one on your channel as well. Maybe she'll like one or both would be great. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
My dog is a very picky eater too, please let me know if your dog likes it. Im nervous to make it and have my dog stare at me like i have 10 heads lol.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to as soon as I get all the stuff. My vet told me to give her bottled water or distilled water would be better.
Thank you so much for this Samantha! I'd like to try it but need to know how much to feed a 5 year old 65 lb. dog. I usually feed her 2 cups of Kirkland dry dog food rather than the 3.5 cups they recommend and she is in excellent physical condition.
My research as well as this person shares that you do 2-3% of your dogs weight. So, 1.3 - 1.95 lbs depending on activity level and age.
When I did some home cooking for my renal dog the vet said yes but there is not everything he needs in. Are u sure there is no deficiency in it ? It looks so great ❤ thank you
A lot of the research I’ve seen says you should use white rice instead because of brown rice high phosphorus content, anyone know for sure ?
Avoid brown rice and oatmeal. Pearled barley and white rice are better options as the whole grains have more phosphorus.
My dog didnt eat 3 weeks by self and i try today make this recepte and he EAT. Hope this recepte will be good for my dog.
Very simple & straightforward! This video is 6 years old. - do you still support the recipe as is for kidney support!
Thank you that was really easy. My 16 yr old ShizTzu was diagnosed with stage 2 Kidney disease and his Vet sold me KD Prescription Diet for Kidney Care and heart blood pressure pills to be taken 1x a night for 2 weeks and then 2x a day for the remaining 2 wks. I will try your diet as well since I bout him a limited supply of the food.
Yvonne Anderson... my 12 year old rescue (Shih Tzu) was diagnosed 5 years ago with beginning stage of kidney disease. My vet put him on KD by Science Diet. He had labs last week and his kidney function is still in the normal range. The KD brought his levels down and has kept them stable all these years!! Put your furbaby on it. They have some yummy chicken and beef stew now, which my guy loves. They also have a lamb flavor and chicken flavor that are in the loaf style. My other two Shih Tzu's are always trying to eat his food too, so it must be tasty. They all love the dry as well. My guy is 16# and I leave his dry out all the time and he eats whenever he wants....he eats 1/2 of a can per day. Warm up any leftovers a few seconds before serving so it's not cold. Feed your pup a homemade one occasionally, for a treat. Just my recommendation from someone who has been where you are. Best wishes!
Neha Vats.... prescription KD has kept my senior rescue stable for 5 years. His kidney function is within normal limits as of last week. Not only that, all of his other labs were in normal limits.
I use KD prescription FOOD along with cooked foods like pumpkin, egg whites, green beans, etc...
Do you happen to have a cookbook for dogs with kidney disease? I only found 2 recipes on your channel.
Would it be ok to switch the lean ground beef for lean turkey or even bonless skinless chicken breast meat or does the protien source have to be beef? And is it ok to add a small container of plain fat free yogurt to help add moisture and maybe some probiotics to the food? I really want to try this for our old girl. The canned food is just WAY to much for us to afford on top of all of the other medications and fluids we are paying for.
Thank you for doing this, it really helps, great to see how you care, thanks so much
Thank you for this recipe, can I use chicken and fish instead of beef?
From my understanding, chicken has higher levels of phosphorus. I also want to know if I can use baked salmon fillet as well, I hope someone can give us an answer.
This is nearly the same recipe I concocted for my wee 7lb shihtzu. When my work schedule shifted, I put her on Rx low fat diet due to pancreatitis. Now, she has kidney disease and is in hospital fighting for her life. I wish I'd kept up with the homemade foods all along. :(
She is 13 years old.
Our poodle Lucy is 13 years old and has been diagnosed with kidney disease. We have been feeding her your food exclusively for about nine weeks. Her appetite was immediately restored and she has been eating one cup three times daily. She loves it, and her bladder control is much better than before we started your diet, but she is more aggressively than before looking for dog biscuit treats, indicating to us that she is hungry. She appears to have enough energy given her age, but we are concerned about her weight.
At her highest weight, which was several years ago, she was about 55 pounds. She has been steadily losing weight and is now only 48 pounds and is looking pretty gaunt. We have been using lean hamburger rather than very lean for about three weeks, but she is not showing any tendency to gain weight. The vet has approved your diet but is recommending the addition of Hill's Kidney Care k/d, which is pretty expensive. The recommendation is for approximately 10 ounces per day, but so far (only a short time) we have not noticed any weight gain.
I know that low protein is a key aspect of food for dogs suffering from kidney failure. Do you have any recommendations as to how to increase the caloric content of your formula that does not increase the protein content?
We would like to thank you for your video and your obvious care for everyone's canine companions. You have been very helpful in restoring Lucy's joie de vivre and overall health.
How big of a portion do you give to your dog? My dog weighs 50 pound.
When you go to your vets, you need to play poor, otherwise, they run useless tests to make money out of you. my dog 17 yr old biscon has frequent urination due to kidney insufficiency. The vet wants us to do urine, blood, x ray tests REPEATEDLY. then the vet wants us to do ultrasound because all the previous tests result are NEGATIVE. I am a foreign trained MD (of course I won't let her know that) so i asked her questions: "What if ultrasound comes back negative, what you do?" she said: "we probably treat him as renal insufficiency." I said why don't you treat him as renal insufficiency now? she said: without tests, we can't just give meds without evidence. i thought angrily: back in the days there is no ultrasound, you don't treat dog? so we just "play" poor, beg and beg, 3 times, then the vet RX ACE inhibitor which is treating renal insufficiency. but now after research, i think diet is very important. so i hold off those meds, and i will try diet. Vets will help you by giving advise (after you beg of course) when they saw you absolutely have no money. i understand they need to make money to run their business. too sad. pet insurance is insanely expensive. so people have no medical knowledge is very difficult to deal with it. This video is helping people to help their dogs. thank you kind hearted people.
Thank you for telling me about your story. My 1 year-old GSD has had frequent urination for a month. She has had 3 kind of antibiotics, now she is taking doxycycline for Lime disease. The blood tests shows high level on the kidney test. So, the vet thinks that she has Lime or Kidney issues.. Next week, she will have ultrasound..
Akiko high level of what on the kidney test?
@@xdrive300011 Hi BUN level was 60. She had fluids under her skin twice so far, she seems better after I changed her diet to raw meat plus cooked veggies, rice, egg shell power, boiled egg whites etc... The key is low phosphorus and low potassium but high calcium for her. my dog vomited after eating this formula of this video. So I won't feed her any canned food, neither cooked beef. I ground a whole chicken at home to adjust the fat content for her diet. A month before her BUN level got worse, her BUN was little above the average, but the vet said that she is fine. So you need to keep an eye on your dog. Hope your dog is okay.
@that's right I hope you find the right diet for your furry friend. :)
Akiko antibiotic causes kidney disease
I've seen that the brand Just Food For Dogs have similar recipe for kidney disease, but they add other nutrients not in this recipe. My vet had recommended the Hill's diet, but I've read that fresh food would be more beneficial. I would like to add fresh to my dog's diet without breaking the bank, if I can do some of the cooking.
I don't like how the Just Food for Dogs has spinach. I don't think that's best from what I hear.
My guy (14 y/o Standard Schnauzer Stage 2, adopted him a year ago) wouldn't touch the JFFD Kidney formula. It has lamb; I've never had a dog that liked lamb. He can also have the Hepatic formula because he has Cushing's too (white fish based) he loved until I subscribed to it and got a large order. Same with every brand and type of renal food. He's back on Nom Nom chicken and turkey recipes because he'll at least eat it. I might try this recipe but I don't know how much to feed him. (I don't even cook for myself, lol)
Rice swells up when you cook it....do you mean weigh out two cups of rice and cook it or add two cups off cooked rice? Hope that makes sense and thank you!🧡🙌
I think il substitute parsley with broccoli coz in the country where i lived in, parsley isnt that common. What we have are cilantros which is different.
Wow my little Kobi loves it.😊
Unsure how much to feed ? He’s a Maltese shitzu with Cushings Syndrome and renal failure... usually has a really poor appetite but loves this recipe! Thankyou ❤️
THANK YOU !!! My vet said "" Urinary S O "" first 4 ingredients Brewers rice , CORN , Brown rice , and powdered cellulose ??? People please understand that as a fourth ingredient Horrific !!! powdered cellulose is sawdust that is powdered ...yes Wood .!!! he also said that it was the only way to prevent the bladder stones from recurring . I need a new Vet. I think i will start with a good kidney health diet .
I would just like to clarify regarding what you said about “sawdust”. In a butcher shop or even just the meat section of a supermarket, “sawdust” is not wood. It is the finely ground meat stuck in the blades and platform of their meat cutting machines. When they cut hard solid frozen meat on the machines, it leaves a lot of frozen meat dust behind. Hence they call it “sawdust”. At the end of the day when they clean up their equipment, they accumulate this “sawdust” because it is still meat.
@@marielysannramos-monforte4657 Celulose is the fourth ingredient in the special dog food
my vet told me to try .I was told and read somewhere that cellulose was Sawdust,
'"ground up WOOD"". but it also comes from plant matter just a filler that no fur baby needs, I may be wrong but I did not say anything about a butcher shop or a meat section . I would rather they have good old butcher scraps than chicken beaks and absolutely NO corn.
@@Tangleddogs Pls allow me to explain in a different way. There are 2 kinds of sawdust. First is "ground wood". This cannot be even used as filler because dogs can't digest wood or any wood byproducts.
Second kind is "ground meat" (whatever meat was cut in the machine i.e. pork, chicken, beef, etc.) that was stuck in the blades of meat cutting machines from butcher shops, or meat section of supermarket. It is an expression by butchers, they also call it "sawdust". This second kind is the kind of sawdust commonly added in commercial dogfood. Because we humans don't buy this anymore, but it is still meat cleaned off from the blades so this is the kind of sawdust added in commercial dogfood (not the ground wood kind).
Right before the supermarket closes, you can go to the meat section and watch them clean the cutting machines. They will be scraping off a lot of meat from the blades. You can ask them what it's called, they will tell you they call it "sawdust". You can even ask what they do with it afterwards.
@@marielysannramos-monforte4657 Thank you I stand corrected .
Can I just hard boil a dozen to 14 eggs and then cut them in half and remove the yolks? Then smush up the cooked whites? Then I could run the shells through my food processor to pulverize them and add to the mix, too. ... and give the yolks to a friend, I'm a vegetarian... just sayin.
The shells put too much calcium
Are you using white rice or brown rice. The actual recipe says brown. It looks like you are using white. Just want to make sure so I make it correct. Thank you so much.
my vet said that my dog has high levels in his kidneys. My husband and I watched your video and we were very excited to try this recipe with the beef. My dog is 25lbs. How much would you recommend giving to him? We give him chicken, broccoli and carrots and coconut yogurt soho unsweetened. Do you have any thoughts about The Honest Kitchen Grain free Beef recipe? Let me know if you have any other recipes for kidney issues
Hi there, I'd really appreciate some advice. Would this recipe be ok for a dog with chronic pancreatitis?
I use chicken ,turkey ,eggs with shells and quinoa . Is it high in protein for my pitbull?
And salmon too
Thank you- this makes me hopeful. May I ask what the serving size should be for a 40lb dog? Thanks again
My cocker spaniel was recently getting fussy with food and drinking more, I got some bloodwork done and he has kidney disease, his kidneys were scanned and looked ok but as a complication he had a splenic tumour which had to be removed. Whilst waiting surgery he was started on Benazapet and recommended a renal diet or senior dog diet. He won't eat either. I tried doing home cooked, he won't eat it, he has had his spleen out and is recovering well, just prior to surgery his bloods had reduced a bit. I still am having issues with food. He loves taking his meds in cooked sausage, he loves his dental chew, but any other food he picks at and then leaves the bulk of it. I ordered a raw food diet from Hug which can also be cooked and have tried it both ways with him. The first night he ate it, the next meal and every time since he won't. Regarding your recipe, it was difficult because you didn't show what it looked like but if it's mushy he won't touch it. He cannot have rice, soybean or corn as allergic. I am at my wits end!! Suggestions please my youtube friends?
i need to try this! my dog is suffering from stage 3 kidney failure, i'll let you know if this recipe works...
Did it?
She passed away...
L
recipe starts at 3:12
thankyou
Thank you. She talk to much
Thank you
All my vet recommended was royal canin, science diet and Purina which I won't feed my girl.
On what scale will does that pureed that you made in the blender help with digestion ?
Where can I find a hard copy of the recipe to print out?
Link is in the description.
How do u cook the egg whites? My poor baby has this condition. Thanks for the recipe and your response..
This is what I feed my dog!!!! Her crea is now back fo normal. It went from 2.9 and now its normal which is 1.1 ❤️ The vet actually recommended me to feed my dog royal canin renal but its too expensive since 1 can of canned royal canin is good for 2-3 days only. So i searched up on yt and found this!!!! it saved my dog too!!! she's healthy now ! she's no longer a picky eater :)) she loves this recipe so much :) THANK U SO MUCH I CANT THANK U ENOUGH ♥️🥺
How is your dog? Is she still eating the recipe?
My dog was just diagnosed with kidney disease. Her crea is 2.3 and BUN is 81.
@@ma.kathrinacyrarelleno906 hey! She's so healthy now and yes I still feed her this recipe but I put boiled chicken and chicken liver sometimes. 😄 Her crea is back to normal and is doing ok!!!!
Great video. What could I substitute for the egg whites as I can't be near eggs due to severe allergy?
I'm just taking them out all together because the dog is allergic to eggs
Hi, you didn’t mention how much to feed per pound weight of dog. Please revisit.
Can i substitute pure pumpkin with butternut squash?
I don't know how to cook but willing to do this for my 2 year old bernese mountain dog. How long do you cook it for on the stove? Do you have a breakdown of the exact instructions?
Thank you so much !!!!my dog has kidney failure and have high creatinine but I searched about remedies . And thanks GOD !!! HE BRING ME HERE MY DOG NOW HAS A NORMAL CREATININE THANK YOU SO MUCH MORE POWER!!!
wow, what was the creatinine level of your dog? and how long it took to bring it down to normal ?
How much should be fed per serving for an 18 pound dog? She eats a cup of kibble a day and 1/2 cup of this seems a little light. She isn’t overweight and is in stage one kidney failure. Thanks!
This is super helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this recipe. My 12 year old dog has just been diagnosed with stage1/2 renal disease. I see you have given the serving size by weight of dog, is serving that to be fed 3 times a day or is that serving to be spread across 3 times a day? Thanks
Thanks so much for sharing this
Are carrots ok to sub for sweet potato. My dog is throwing up sweet potato. Has for years. Kidney failure is from massive infection from trauma. Lost use of hind legs and for awhile body functions. Doing so much better now. I know she needs more than chicken, pumpkin and rice. Will try this except for pumpkin. Have fresh parsley.and green beans from garden
My dog have a kidney disease and is in prednisone. I sure will try this. I don't like feeding her any canned food
Thank YOU! I am writing out this - to pass along to a friend on Facebook - her dog is having renal kidney failure! I hope that this helps!

How much do you feed the dog per day?
Can you suggest a good supplement or topper that gives them the vitamins and other nutrients the need that is not included in this diet?
My vet said to use food as vitamins not supplements because they aren’t too hard on the kidneys
I add Ruff Greens to my fur babies food. Check it out on the internet. My dogs have done amazingly well on this supplement.
My dogs wintceat pumpkin. Ive tried a few times. Will yams or sweet potato work?
could I halve this recipe to see if Riley will eat it. I hate to make such a large batch just in case
Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you so much! How much rice do you give ?

egg whites have protein in ?
Can you please let me know the amount to feed an 85 lb dog
PLEASE AND HOW MANY TIMES A DAY
The recommended serving size for this recipe is about 1/2 cup for every 20-25 pounds of body weight.
we have a tiny maltese. do we do half of this recipe? thank you!
Same here my 16 year old Maltese is 7 pounds and extremely picky with food. Have you tried this recipe? I wonder if mine will be interested.
Freeze it
Any chicken, turkey, duck, rabbit recipes for kidney disease? Or is the same quantity with any meat including chicken necks and organs?
What is the kcal per serving size for this recipe? The web page doesn't state, and my dog has a specific kcal to maintain vs general serving/lb. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this
Is this diet ok for a dog with kidney disease who also has bladder stones?
Thank you for the recipe. Can sweet potato be used instead of pumpkin?
Yes, or squash. I change up the vegetables each timei cook for my pup so that she receives a well rounded diet. My 10yr old bull terrier was in complete renal failure December 4, 2018 and in 7 weeks her numbers were cut in half! I can't wait to see what her numbers are the next time i take her in! Her homeade food has also cleared up some allergies she had been plagued with.
@@katpea3641 you said in another reply that you took your dog in for IVs for 2 weeks. Was that daily? What was in the IVs? Hoping my vet will work with me on this.
@@sallypyle8792 i took her in twice a week for two weeks for IV fluids. As far as i know it was just typical IV fluids good luck to you and your pooch! Your vet can also teach you how to do subcutaneous fluids that you can administer at home to keep the vet bills down.
@@katpea3641 thanks so much! Is your dog still doing well on this diet?
@@sallypyle8792 she is doing great! She will be 11 years old August 17. A bull terrier life span is about 11 years, so I'm grateful for every day that i have with her! I'm not sure if i had mentioned that her kidney failure came from a bladder infection that was not purposely treated, she had taken 2 rounds of antibiotic that were not effective for the strain of bacteria that she had. Her kidney numbers reduced by half and have stayed there but the vet said she has adapted well to her current kidney function.
I’ve just cooked double portion but I’m not sure how much should I feed my 83 pounds Weimaraner. Any idea?
Can you recommend a recipe for my English bulldog who has HUU, and is recommended a low purine diet?
Can I do sweet potato instead of pumpkin?
I am my way to buy all the engridients.
Our vet gives only 1 month to leave to our dog.
Thanks a lot
What happened? I hope it worked.
What kind of rice, organic white brown??
