shih tzu kidney diet canine ; Low Potassium Foods- sojo grain free mix:

Question
I have an 8 year old shih tzu that has kidney stones.  She is on medication through our vet and on a strict diet.  We have been feeding her boiled chicken and rice or pasta for months now.  A couple of months ago I added some baby food for flavor and something different.  Again I'm having trouble getting her to eat.  What can I give her that is low in potassium and sodium?

Answer
shih tzu with kidney disease;  low potassium diet  low phos; recipes and SoJo dog foods:

Hi Martha,  Have you tried the SoJo Grain free home cooking yet???
This is a mix that you add your boiled chicken, or ground lamb- white meats for your gal.
Talk to you vet about the SoJo option in feeding
SoJo GREEN bag is wonderful for kidney patients.

Hi - To help prevent kidney stones - a low grain or grain free diet is a plus along with a good Natural supplement.
