Can my healthy dog eat k/d prescription food meant for another?

Aww, they are a pretty adorable pair! The short answer is, 'yes," that is fine. This will not harm your other dog to be on long term as well. The longer answer is that if he is a working dog, or is a very athletic dog (regularly goes for 3+mile runs, does agility, etc) then a less protein restricted maintenance diet would be better for him. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello. Yes, but I would mix the kidney diet in with the other dogs regular diet. This way, they will have no problems eating their regular food once you have gone through the left over kidney diet. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Feline diets are not appropriate for dogs, you should not give this food to her, I strongly recommend buying the dog kidney diet and just give the cat diet away or feed it to strays, if you have any in your area of living.

No, it is generally not an issue in cases of a one time ingestion. At worst, the sudden diet change may cause some gastrointestinal upset in your younger dog. This can be managed, if necessary, with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet until symptoms resolve.

The urinary care food is a prescription diet to maintain PH at a level to prevent certain stones forming. If you give it to a dog who doesn't need it, it can actually cause the PH to change too much causing another type of stone to develop. Therefore I do not recommend feeding it to your other dog.

Ho, I personally think the liver diet would be the best option. I don’t think the kidney diet will do any harm but it is not the best option. Hill’s L/D has high levels of l-carnicine and l-arginine that are important for the metabolism. You should also see an improvement in the liver condition thanks to Adenosyl supplementation. Hope this helps !

Plain boiled chicken with no fat and no seasonings is safe to add to her diet to encourage her appetite. You can also use very lean ground beef with no salt or seasonings that is drained of grease and fat.
