2. It is hard to decipher from your post if your dog has kidney disease or was just mis-diagnosed. If you are

looking for approval from your vet to feed a home made diet you will never get it. I don't know what kind of dog you have but at 12 years of age your dog may be near the ending of his life cycle. This is what I would feed: plain quiona, a liver and kidney supplement, a multi vitamin supplement, and 2 or 3 times a week include salmon or boiled chicken. Quiona is mostly carbs, with about 14% protein and lo-fat.

There are a lot of dry dog food companies substituting quiona for brewer's rice which is the basis for dry food for dogs with GI issues.

How the cost of this diet compares to the one's you mentioned, I don't know. It's more labor intensive than opening a can, however.

How much quiona depends on weight/breed of dog.

You can DM me if you want more info.
