Canine Diet for Kidneys

Excerpted from Dr Pitcairn's book, "Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide for Natural Health for Dogs & Cats"

• 1 1/3 cups (2/3 pound) ground chicken, turkey or lean heart
• 4 cups cooked white rice, enriched
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil
• 1,500 milligrams calcium
• 1/8 teaspoons iodized salt
• 1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride (optional, for a saltier flavor)
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1/4 cup carrots
• 1/4 cup beans
• 5000 IU vitamin A
• 50-milligram-level B complex (or 10 milligrams per day)
• 2,500 milligrams vitamin C (1/2 teaspoon sodium ascorbate)

Mix everything together in a large bowl. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, boil about 20 minutes, wait until it cools to mix in the vitamins. Your dog may have a poor appetite, so to some extent you will need to cater to him to keep him alive. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for part of the meat. Be sure to provide plenty of fresh, pure water (filtered or bottled) at all times. Also encourage drinking by providing meat broth (warm) once or twice a day.
