Hey all,
So after Max's ibuprofen incident we decided to switch him from Wellness CORE because of the high protein content. I realize he still needs good quality proteins though so after looking around some I decided to buy a bag of Innova Red Meat Small Bites. At first I liked that it had a slightly higher fat content because apparently the fats from red meats are good for dogs who have kidney problems (we're not sure the extent to which his kidneys were damaged after the incident, his tests are OK now, but he definitely took a hit). I don't remember where I saw that though. Anyway now I guess I'm doubting myself a bit about whether the fat content is too high or if this is the best food. I mean at this point we just have to try it and see how he does. But I'm just curious if any of you all have tried out this food and what you thought of it. I just want the best food I can get for him that isn't super high in protein and that might promote good kidney health. I'm thinking under 30% protein is probably good. Anyway, experiences? Thoughts?
