Normally, that would indicate that a dog was going into kidney failure, that there was too much protein remaining in the blood. But the dogs are fed nearly PURE protein, all meat products, with a little other stuff thrown in. Would it not be expected that it would be a bit higher? Or do I need to get him back in for more serious bloodwork?

TIA for your assistance.

His BUN is slightly elevated, however you have to take him back for more bloodwork etc... its not KF , but it might indicate early mild renal insufficiency .
Good luck .
