So I need some wet food recommendations for low crude protein and phosphorous that is not prescription based? Right now I am using Hill's diet but Boomer HATES it and is refusing to eat the food. I ordered it in lamb but the vet does not have it in stock and it wont come for a few more weeks. I cant afford the wet prescription as he would need 1 can a day and its just not in the budget. I tried making my own wet food and he ate it for about a week now he wont touch the food unless extremely hungry.


I was thinking of trying to mix his kibble with some non prescription wet food but I am not sure what brand to use. I bought the following cans but I am not sure of the phosphorous content because it is not listed. The crude protein is from 4-6%. Some say not less than... but I do not know what that means. I tried to get lamb because that is the kibble I ordered to see if he will eat it.


1. Science Diet Beef and Vegetable (4% Crude Protein)
2. Wellness 95% Lamb (Crude Protein not less than 6%)
3. Nutro Savory Lamb and Rice (4% Crude Protein)


I am just very frustrated the food is really expensive and Boomer just won't eat it no matter what I do. I am just throwing away money that I don't have. I am praying he likes the lamb. The only food he ate before is Duck and Potato he wouldn't eat any other flavors.


He is not sick because he is drinking water, playing with his brother, and wagging his tail. He will just sniff the food and walk away. I can't leave it out for him because his brother will than go and eat it.


I appreciate any advice or help. I also looked at Honest Kitchen and cooking my own but it is just not for me. I also looked into raw but the protein was extremely high and my vet did not recommend it.
