He has been with me for quite a long time .. blind and no one has really expressed interest....long enough for me to know that this RX food is helping him! He is on Urinary SO.

I also kept two pups alive for years by following the vet's advice to use a prescription diet for renal failure. Both of them were on Purina NF which they liked better than the Hill's KD.

Additionally, I had one with renal issues and pancreatitis and I had a consult done with the vet nutritionist at Texas A&M. I then home cooked for him since none of the diets met his needs.

Sick dogs need to be treated by licensed veterinarians imho...not someone on the internet who is a self professed expert in animal nutrition. I don't trust the nutrition sites, but that's just me. I personally will always go with the board certified vet nutritionists.

Agreed
