Beef
Red meat generally is lower in phosphorus than white chicken, turkey, or fish meat. Beef also offers nutrients like protein, the building block for muscles, ligaments, skin, and cell maintenance, and provides energy.
Rice
Dogs with kidney disease cannot properly process phosphorus. Adding just enough rice dampens the high phosphorus content of the high-quality meats, which is crucial for lessening the kidney’s workload and protecting kidney function.
Egg
The egg itself is a complete protein, meaning it has all 9 amino acids the body needs from food and is low in phosphorus.
Beef Liver & Kidney
Liver contains 10 to 100 times the nutrients found in a serving of muscle meat. Kidneys provide a large percentage of a dog’s necessary daily vitamin intake.
Flaxseed
Full of polyphenols, an antioxidant that defends against oxidative stress to decrease inflammation.
Sweet Potato
These root vegetables offer fiber, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, including vitamin C.
Ground Krill
Brimming with nutrients including marine proteins, essential fatty acids, and a powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin, the combination is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Blueberries
One of the most popular superfoods known for their antioxidant properties and ability to limit oxidative stress, which fights inflammation.
The Medicus Canine Kidney Support Diet is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

How to Feed
Feeding Guide
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing this diet to your dog. Start with these daily feeding guidelines and follow your veterinarian’s suggestions about the number of meals per day and whether the daily recommendation is right for your dog.
REHYDRATION RECOMMENDED
Water helps with digestion, circulation, and other bodily processes like perfusion (movement of fluids through the organ), which helps move the harmful byproducts through the filtration system and out of the body.
