Question
QUESTION: I am trying to find a suitable diet for my seniour lhasa that has kidney problems.  I've always fed dry but have recenlty learned that dry food is not a good food for her anymore and in some cases can aid in her problems developing.  I would prefer a can food or even a home made diet as opposed to dry.  I saw somewhwere you had some recipes for this type of diet.

ANSWER: Sure Angie - With kidney disease or chronic UTIs, I refer to the following foods:

I would love for you and Angie to try SoJO foods/
*** It is like hamburger helper for dogs and cats.
YOU will need the "grain free" sojo.... YOU can add red meat 2 x per week and other meats.... This is so good for dogs with kidney disease.  ( Cook up your meat - don't feed raw)

SoJO will do free shipping to the USA and they give a money back refund....So, give it a try:
