Health kick


Will my elderly dog be more healthy and less susceptible to illness if I feed him a grain free food?

My cocker spaniel is 12 years old now and I want to keep him active and mobile. He is less energetic than he used to be and I’m scared of him developing health problems. I know there are lots of supplements on the market, but I don’t know where to begin in choosing one. I don’t know which ingredients I should be looking for or if this will even make a difference to his health.

Any advice you can give would be really helpful.

Healthy renal diet




Any advice on feeding a renal diet for my nearly 13-year-old dog (for early stages kidney failure – that shows in blood, but not behaviour)?
Fat content of prescription diet seems high (22%). For the price I could feed pre-prepared raw (presumably more balanced than I could prepare myself), or other good protein food, but how to lower phosphorous levels?
Happy to research but don't know where to start! It doesn't have to be raw, I am opening my mind to any helpful food.
Any clues please?
