Homemade Food for Dogs With Kidney Failure

Kidney failure in dogs, also known as chronic renal failure (CRN), is a serious condition that can have a number of adverse effects on a dog. When the kidneys are in trouble, they are unable to filter blood, and toxins build up in the dog's system as a result. It's important to change a dog's diet when it is diagnosed with CRN. Homemade food that is low in sodium, phosphorous and protein can greatly improve the state of your dog's kidneys.
