FAQs
Is this food suitable for puppies?
This food is specifically formulated for the renal needs of dogs with chronic renal insufficiency and is not intended for puppy development; please consult your vet.
Why is it grain-free?
A grain-free formula is often easier to digest and helps manage inflammation, which can be beneficial for dogs with compromised kidney function.
Can I feed this to my healthy dog?
No, this diet is specialized and contains specific mineral levels designed to support damaged kidneys; healthy dogs have different nutritional requirements.
How do I store the dry food?
Keep the bag tightly sealed or use an airtight storage container in a cool, dry place to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
Does my dog need extra water on this diet?
Yes, maintaining hydration is vital for kidney health, so ensure fresh drinking water is available 24/7.
What is the primary protein source?
The recipe uses egg and hydrolysed salmon, which are chosen for their high bioavailability and ease of digestion.
Troubleshooting
Dog is reluctant to eat the new food
Try mixing a small amount of warm water or low-sodium, dog-safe bone broth with the kibble to enhance the aroma and soften the texture.
Digestive upset during transition
Slow down the transition process by keeping the percentage of the new food lower for a longer duration before fully switching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning to a renal diet should always be done gradually over 7 to 10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Pooch & Mutt Renal food with the previous diet. Store the kibble in a cool, dry, and airtight container to maintain the integrity of the fats and nutrients. Since this food is designed for renal support, it is not intended for healthy dogs without kidney-related health concerns. Always consult with your veterinary practitioner to determine the appropriate feeding quantity based on your dog's current stage of renal insufficiency, weight, and activity level.
