What Treats Can You Give A Dog With Kidney Disease?
When your pet has kidney disease, every bite matters. Their kidneys struggle to filter out waste and regulate minerals, so it’s crucial to choose treats that are low in protein, phosphorus, and sodium, while being gentle on the digestive system. The goal is to reduce strain on the kidneys while still allowing your dog to enjoy moments of joy and comfort through wholesome, safe snacks.
Key Considerations for Dogs with Kidney Disease
1. Low-Protein, Plant-Based Options
High-protein treats, especially those made with meat, can overwork the kidneys. Opt for plant-based treats with moderate protein levels from natural sources like oats, sweet potatoes, and fruits. These ingredients provide energy and flavor without adding unnecessary pressure to the kidneys.
2. Avoid High-Phosphorus Ingredients
Phosphorus builds up in dogs with kidney disease, worsening symptoms. Stay away from ingredients like organ meats, dairy, and nuts. Instead, choose low-phosphorus fruits and veggies, such as apples, carrots, and blueberries.
3. Keep Sodium Levels Low
Salt increases blood pressure and damages the kidneys further. Look for treats with no added salt or preservatives, ensuring your dog’s snacks stay heart- and kidney-friendly.
4. Choose Moist and Digestible Treats
Soft, moisture-rich treats support hydration - vital for dogs with kidney disease. Hard or overly dry treats can make dehydration worse.
5. Always Consult Your Veterinarian
Before introducing new treats, confirm with your vet that the ingredients are compatible with your dog’s prescribed kidney diet and treatment plan.
