Tisch is currently on a kidney diet - i refuse to feed the "prescription" diets from Hills or purina so have had to search hard for alternatives. I currently feed her a reduced protein kibble (only 15%) from a local company supplemented with rice, very small amounts of liver and egg (occasioanlly chicken), half a vitamin pill (human pill with no additives such as "extra iron") and her treats are carrots which, thankfully, she loves and several of the other dogs have also adopted. She had monthly blood profiles for kidney and liver function and to make sure the diet was balanced for the first year and now gets them every six months.
