Pro Plan

Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Renal Function Dry review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

NF Renal Function is Purina's dry diet for a dog whose kidneys a vet is managing, and it sits alongside the rest of Pro Plan Veterinary Diets.

DryAdult

Purina's dry diet for a dog whose kidneys a vet is managing. We do not put a score on it. The analysis is what makes it therapeutic: protein converts to just 14.1% of dry matter, and the mineral load is held back to match.

A dog that has gone off food, as digest coats the kibble and sugar is in the mix
Owners who want the trace mineral doses printed in full
Dogs of any size, with a feeding table from 2.5kg to 70kg

Worth watching

Egg and whey high on the list, so dairy and egg are in the recipe
Pork fat and fish oil, two further species for a dog with sensitivities
Asterisks on several entries with no legend to explain them
