Arden Grange VetCare Renal Kidney Care Adult Dog Food 2kg

Arden Grange VetCare Renal is a vet-approved complete dry dog food formulated to support adult dogs with chronic renal insufficiency and to help regulate oxalate stone formation. Made with 19% hydrolysed chicken (including 15% hydrolysed fresh chicken), sweet potato, and potato in a grain-free recipe, it delivers carefully controlled nutrition that reduces the burden on compromised kidneys while remaining highly palatable — even for dogs with reduced appetite.

With reduced phosphorus (0.5%) and adjusted protein content (18%), this diet directly addresses the two key dietary priorities in renal disease management. The hydrolysed protein source minimises the risk of allergic reactions and reduces the metabolic waste load on the kidneys, while potassium citrate alkalises the urine to help prevent oxalate stone formation. Always use under veterinary guidance. Browse the full Arden Grange dry dog food range or explore our complete range of grain free dog food at Feedem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is this food designed for?

Arden Grange VetCare Renal is designed to support three specific conditions: chronic renal insufficiency (kidney failure), transient renal insufficiency, and the regulation of oxalate stone formation. It is a complete dietary feed intended to complement — not replace — veterinary treatment. Always consult your vet before starting or extending use of this diet.

How long should my dog be fed this diet?

For renal function support in chronic renal failure, the recommended feeding period is 6 months initially, with continuation as advised by your vet. For transient renal insufficiency, 2–4 weeks is recommended. For reducing oxalate stone formation, up to 6 months. Your vet will advise on the appropriate duration based on your dog's individual condition and progress.

Why is hydrolysed chicken used instead of regular chicken?

Hydrolysed chicken has been broken down into very small protein fragments through a process called hydrolysis. In a renal diet, this serves two purposes: it reduces the overall protein load on the kidneys (which struggle to process waste products from protein metabolism), and it minimises the risk of allergic reactions in dogs with food sensitivities. Despite the processing, it remains highly palatable — important for dogs with renal disease who often have reduced appetite.

Why is low phosphorus important for dogs with kidney disease?

Healthy kidneys filter excess phosphorus from the blood. When kidneys are damaged, phosphorus builds up in the bloodstream, which accelerates kidney deterioration. Feeding a diet with reduced phosphorus (0.5% in this recipe) directly reduces this burden and is one of the most evidence-based dietary interventions for slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease in dogs.

What is potassium citrate and why is it included?

Potassium citrate is a urine-alkalising compound included at 0.5% in this recipe. It raises the pH of urine, which helps prevent the formation of calcium oxalate crystals — a common type of urinary stone in dogs. For dogs prone to oxalate stones, this is a clinically important inclusion that works alongside the broader renal dietary management.

Is this food grain free?

Yes — the recipe is completely grain free with no cereals included. The carbohydrate sources are sweet potato, potato, and peas, all of which are highly digestible and gentle on a compromised system. This also makes the food suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities alongside their renal condition.

Is there a wet food version of this diet?

Yes — the Arden Grange VetCare Renal wet dog food is available in a 395g tin and provides the same targeted renal nutrition in a wet format. Wet food can be particularly beneficial for dogs with kidney disease as the higher moisture content supports hydration. Some owners use both wet and dry together.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

No — this diet is not suitable for puppies, pregnant bitches, lactating bitches, or dogs with liver insufficiency, impaired bile secretion, pancreatitis, or hyperlipidaemia. It is formulated specifically for adult dogs under veterinary supervision. If your dog has a renal condition alongside other health issues, speak to your vet about the most appropriate dietary approach.
