Dogs with chronic renal failure need to pay attention to dietary principles, and a reasonable diet plays an important role in the relief and treatment of the disease. Generally speaking, the intake of protein and sodium salt in dogs should be controlled as much as possible to reduce the burden on the kidneys. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the dog's intake of carbohydrates and fat to provide the dog's energy needs. In addition, dogs need to eat enough vitamins, minerals, cellulose and other nutrients to stay healthy.
Step 2: Suitable food
For dogs with chronic renal failure, suitable foods include low-protein dog food, chicken, eggs, bread, rice and other digestible foods, which can provide nutrients in carbohydrates and fats for dogs. In addition, a small amount of low-fat dairy products, vegetables and fruits can also provide necessary nutrition and fiber for dogs.
In diet, pay attention to control the intake of sodium salt, use low-sodium food to avoid the increase of blood pressure in dogs, and add mineral supplements appropriately to keep dogs healthy.
3, inappropriate food
For dogs with chronic renal failure, foods with high protein, fat, sodium salt, phosphate and caffeine should be avoided. In addition, dogs should also avoid eating foods that are harmful to dogs, such as bones, chocolate, grapes, onions and garlic, so as not to aggravate their illness.
4. Supplementary items
If the nutrition intake in the dog's diet is insufficient, you can consider supplementing the dog with relevant nutrients. You can consult a veterinarian and add proper vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and other nutrients to your dog to maintain its normal operation. However, it should be noted that the quantity and types of these items should be adjusted and managed according to the specific situation of dogs.
