Dogs are often diagnosed with CKD at different stages of the disease. The earlier it is diagnosed the better chance there is of applying beneficial diet and management changes, but there are things you can do that will help even in later stages. My article "My 10-Point Plan for Dogs with Kidney Failure" is a concise and hopefully informative and useful supportive piece for all dog owners presented with this sometimes alarming diagnosis. Please have a read at:

And feel free to ask questions about anything in the article or about your own dog's condition. In responding, please start a new question with the name of your dog, as this helps identify your submission and keeps the thread solely about your own dog.
Thank you.
