Details

When dogs have kidney tissue damage, their kidneys cannot perform as well. This condition is not reversible, but progression may be slowed, and taking action early can be beneficial. Dogs with decreased kidney function may experience a loss of appetite and their food intake might decline. Dietetic foods for kidney conditions are designed to help reduce workload on the kidneys, enabling them to function more effectively.
