Another interesting read. The chart showing the phosphorus levels of popular raw ingredients could very useful for those trying to work out a diet plan.

Seaweed - thank you very much for this information. I have merged the threads with this one as they would be better all in one place for easy reference.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some recommendations for renal food for our 14-month-old Cocker Spaniel. Unfortunately, after her spay operation, we discovered that one of her kidneys isn’t functioning properly. Right now, we’re mixing Royal Canin pouches with her renal dog food, but I’m wondering if there might be other options out there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
