My 12 year old Daisy has early renal issues. I home cook for Daisy and her diet has three ingredients and supplements. Her kidney values in 6 weeks greatly improved with a slight modification to her diet to cutting phosphorous in half and the addition of microdose of asprin and benazaprine once daily.

My personal opinion is that it does not matter if you have a diet with few ingredients if that is what the dog needs so long as it is properly balanced. I also do not think coconut oil should be added to the diet of a renal dog, I use omega 3 oils because there is some indication that it may help delay CRF in dogs and it is used for Daisy to dampen her immune response for her other problems.
