Dr Bob - My Kidney diet may be served solo as an alternative to pet food or may be mixed with any natural, low
protein food of your choice. If you like you may vary the grains by feeding oatmeal or barley. Parsley and asparagus
work as gentle diuretics helping the kidneys flush wastes
and impurities. Also, for dogs you can occasionally substitute tofu for the chicken.

1 cup brown rice or millet
3 cups filtered water
2 hard boiled egg yokes (organic)
½ cup cubed, de-boned chicken meat (hormone and antibiotic free)
2 tablespoons grated asparagus
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon sesame oil (unrefined)

Cook rice (or millet) with two-and-a-half cup water, approximately 45 minutes. In remaining one-half cup water,
cook cubes of chicken (about 5 minutes). Mix chicken and rice (millet) with chopped raw vegetables and oil.
When cooked, add egg yokes, multivitamin, and other supplements to mixture. If your animal’s appetite is poor,
flavor the stew with plain organic nonfat yogurt (2 teaspoon for cats and one-and-a-half tablespoon for dogs)

Small dogs/cats (1-12 lbs) ¼- ½ cup
Medium dogs (15-35 lbs) 1 cup
Large dogs (50-85 lbs) 2 cup
Giant dogs (85 + lbs) 1-3 ½ cups
