But I do want to mention that many dogs with kidney problems really can NOT have meat...It's not a myth. Dog with ammonium urate stones cannot have anything that's high in purines(ie. organ meats, red meat, chicken, fish), I know this from experience. And it's not good for a dog with liver shunt/mvd or other liver diseases.[/QUOTE]
I am a member of a RAW feeding chat group on yahoo. There is a major difference between BARF and RAW. I too have a dog with "Off" BUN levels. Since feeding mostly raw, it has actually stabilized! There are many scientific articles relating to this subject, so it's not MY opinion that I gave here. For legal reason I cannot post any links or quotes, but I suggest to anyone to research! We have many pet owners on my chat group who have older dogs, dogs with all sorts of ailments including kidney issues. They all feed raw with incredible success and actually turned their dog's health around! The difference lies with what kind of proteins! There's a wealth of information out there and there's much to learn! I don't want to dissagree with anyone on anything on here and we all have to figure out what works for them and their dogs.!
