Blah, the edit button is not working for me, but when the kidnies are damaged, too much protein is not good. The dog must recieve a diet that's a HIGH QUALITY protein (less of an amount though) and low phosphorous.
If it's a healthy dog, I don't think there should be any trouble. BUT kidney failure cannot be diagnosed until 70% of the dogs kidney's are no longer functional.
If you are concerned about your dogs kidneys, you can have blood tests run to check the kidney function.
