Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this kidney support formula for clean, real ingredients like deboned chicken and absence of corn, wheat, and soy. Many report significant health improvements in dogs with renal disease, including normalized kidney values, reduced vomiting, and increased energy. Most dogs eagerly consume the food, even picky eaters and seniors previously refusing other diets. Some note the kibble is too large for older dogs with dental issues, requiring soaking or grinding. A few report their dogs refused it or experienced digestive upset, and some mention the price is steep. Overall, reviewers strongly recommend it for kidney health benefits despite minor drawbacks.

Good kidney support diet with controlled nutrients. My dog eats it well and seems healthy and more comfortable. My dog accepted it easily and I feel confident it supports his kidney health

Good ingredients but kibbles are too big and hard

BirdiePie

I'm rating this food as excellent for the quality ingredients and for not using corn or wheat like every other kidney diet I found. HOWEVER... The kibble size is way too large and they're way too hard to chew which requires a good soaking in warm water. I have a senior Lab with good teeth, but she has difficulty eating this food if it isn't softened.

Just transitioning dog from regular food to kidney care. Can't say this product is not good because she won't eat the previous kidney care dry food either. Took 2 months to finish an 8 lb. bag. I will say she eats this on her own at times, without coaxing. Hope she gets used to it and eats it freely. Had been feeding her Blue since she was 1 yr.old. Hope to see Blue kidney wet dog food and Blue kidney care treats.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My pup would not eat this. Kimble was pretty big and considering kidney challenge dogs are older and may also have issues with teeth, should make kibble easier to chew???

I first got this product when Tiggy, my then-12-year-old Pom, was recovering from renal failure and starting to eat on her own again. I chose it over competing brands based on the ingredients & the fact that other picky pups seemed to like it. Chicken as a primary ingredient was a big plus! Tiggy took to it right away and eats it more enthusiastically than her previous kibble. While the main goal was stabilizing her kidney values, we've also seen improvements in her overall health--especially digestion!--since starting this product. Now, at 14, she's still thriving & scarfing down her bowl!
