    opinion on dog food

    This is the list of ingredients and % analysis of the food I am currently feeding my dogs, they really do well on it and seem to like it. - My issue is my oldest a 10 yr old Husky is right on the verge of kidney disease and they want her on a lower phosphate food, the only phosphate I see in this food is about halfway through the list of ingredients but it doesn't give me a %

    I have written the company but haven't heard back from them about the percentage, I know the lower on the list supposedly the less there is in the food. I just hate the Hills k/d formula and she doesn't like to eat it much either it's like she has to be starving before she will finally give in and eat it.

    Also for the other dogs does this look like a decent quality food? everyone of them likes it and does well on it.
    The other dogs are a black lab 5 yrs, english setter/lab mix 5 yrs, and jack russell mix 2 yrs

    thanks for your help and insight

    It does look like a good food. I don't blame you for not wanting to use the prescription diet, I am not a fan either. I would keep your other dogs on the food that is working for them and research other foods for your Husky. There is currently another thread, I believe it has "kidney values" in the title, check for it as there is some great info already there. Sending good thoughts your way!
