Interesting read. Yup, phosphorus is a concern. It seems easier to do low phos if you're doing low protein. I don't know of any veterinary nutritionist that would say high protein causes kidney problems. Did they not link to that study?? Unfortunately, they are basing some of their information off of an dog food advisor website. These are almost never created by the people with the correct credentials to do that.
I think some nutritionists would say that while the protein won't hurt healthy kidneys, they do have to work harder. So it's all in what you're comfortable with.
I'd really like to see this study.
