Many pet owners find it challenging to transition their dog onto a therapeutic diet after being informed they have kidney disease. Homemade treats can make transition easier for all involved.

1. Eggs
Dogs with kidney disease need protein. High-protein foods like bones and egg yolks should be avoided as treats; cooked egg whites offer a tasty yet low-protein treat option suitable for those living with kidney disease.
Kidney disease requires substantial changes to your dog’s diet. Vet-approved homemade recipes can help meet his nutritional needs without providing excess nutrients; such as low-phosphorus proteins and beneficial fats with controlled calcium content.
2. Turkey
An optimal diet for their canines’ overall wellbeing is of paramount importance; however, many pet parents find it challenging to provide their pups with enough healthy foods and treats when their pups have kidney disease.
Luckily, homemade recipes that are suitable for CKD dogs exist. These dishes contain low levels of protein, sodium and phosphorus while offering plenty of vegetables and essential nutrients.
3. Quinoa
Quinoa is a gluten-free whole grain that provides protein, fiber and many essential vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants that may help your pet defend themselves against kidney disease caused by oxidative stress.
Paw some Oldies offers this renal diet recipe which is low in protein, sodium and phosphorous and easy to make! Just mix all the ingredients together and bake. Enjoy!
4. Salmon
Diet is an integral component of managing kidney disease. Vet-approved homemade dog food recipes for chronic kidney disease typically feature lower phosphorus protein sources as well as non-toxic vegetables to provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Extra phosphorus puts additional stress on compromised kidneys and may exacerbate their condition, so when making dietary changes it is wise to consult a veterinarian; they may suggest therapeutic kidney diets available commercially as pet food options.
5. Lamb
Dogs suffering from kidney disease must receive sufficient water in their diet in order to flush their systems. Furthermore, adding hydrating ingredients like broth or vegetables can also help them feel more hydrated.
Kidney diets for dogs are designed to contain less protein, phosphorus and sodium while providing healthy fats and nontoxic vegetables. Speak to your vet to determine the ideal kidney diet for your pup!
6. Chicken
Dogs suffering from kidney disease tend to prefer moist, tasty foods. Talk with your veterinarian about preparing homemade meals low in protein and phosphorous content for your pup.
Maintain a careful watch over your dog during its transition to a new diet. Regular veterinary checkups will enable you to identify early signs of kidney disease, while treatment adjustments can slow its progress. Hydration is equally essential; ensure that fresh water is always accessible.
7. Duck
Dogs suffering from kidney disease require a low protein diet in order to prevent the buildup of waste products, and also require lower sodium diets in order to lower blood pressure.
Cooking at home is a simple way to add these vital ingredients into your pet’s diet. Many dogs with kidney disease can live happy, long lives with proper nutrition. Partner with your vet in creating an individualized dietary plan for your pup.
8. Beef
Many companies that produce therapeutic diets for kidney disease also produce treats; these tend to be slightly more costly.
Choose low-phosphorus protein sources like egg whites (avoid yolks which are excessively high in phosphorus). Add easily digestible carbohydrates such as rice or potatoes; provide antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids from fish body oils; provide plenty of fresh water as hydration support;
9. Chicken liver
Homemade kidney-friendly treats are an integral component of a renal diet for your dog. Not only can these treats help manage protein consumption and phosphorous levels, they can also provide essential vitamins such as folic acid, B2, and riboflavin that will support their body.
