WHAT DO THE KIDNEYS DO:
The kidneys are crucial for filtering your dog's blood, remove waste products and regulate hydration, maintain a normal electrolyte balance, help control blood pressure and release hormones to produce red blood cells.
THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE KIDNEY PROBLEMS:
Toxins found in tap water, processed kibble and the environment all affect the kidney's ability to function optimally. There are simple things you can do to help your dog get maximum nutrition into their body and limit their exposure to daily toxins. Toxic "waste" includes lead and heavy metals, glyphosate (RoundUp) and other pesticides, as well as fluoride, PCBs, plastics and other common chemicals found in household cleaners etc.
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO YOUR DOG'S KIDNEY HEALTH:
Clean drinking water (reverse osmosis or carbon filter), high quality organic proteins like skinless chicken thigh, low phosphorus vegetables (spinach, cauliflower, green beans), going out for a walk in the fresh air (beach or wooded trail is nice for both of you!), limiting chemicals used in and around your home etc. And lastly, herbal support for the kidneys.
