GENERAL FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Daily feeding recommendations may be divided into two to four meals.

Fresh water should be available at all times.

Individual requirements may vary depending on breed, age, sex, environment, and activity level.

*If fed according to daily energy requirements, the protein intake is less than 2g/kgBW/day, which may place the patient at risk of protein malnutrition.

	A restricted phosphorus intake is essential to slow the development of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism.
	Restricted levels of high biological value protein to minimize the production of nitrogenous waste products and improve the clinical signs associated with renal failure.
