Thank you for the link. Looking at the nutrient analysis, I am pleased with much of it overall. However for kidney disease when we look at the key nutritional factors (Small Animal Clinical Nutrition 5th edition), this diet still exceeds the recommended ranges with regard to kidney insufficiency for: protein, phosphorus and sodium. It also is low with regard to vitamin E. I see the omega 6 listed but do not see the omega 3 levels nor the amounts of DHA.

Compared to other diets however, the canned version is better than many. It is unfortunate that the canned and dry versions vary so widely.

Once again, thank you for the link.
