Kerry, I hope Inky starts feeling better soon. Wow, 20 years old. Sorry, but I really don't know anything about different diets for the kidney. I am actually just learning because Saturday I took my dog, Elvis, to the vet for a checkup and he is showing some signs of early kidney problems. He is about 11 years old now. They told me to switch his diet. I got Hills KD but that worries me because I think I have read here that Hills isn't that great of a food. I will be praying that Inky and Bandy start feeling better very soon.
