Thank you, that looks really good. But can I feed a mixture of raw and kibble? The vet really thinks we need to have her on the royal canin renal diet, and I know that this does seem very effective. But I want to give her some good quality raw protein too. Some internet pages say you can't do a mixture, others say it's fine! I want to give her every chance by doing the renal diet and the green trip, which some people seem to swear by, but I don't want to do more harm than good by mixing! Does anyone know? thank you!

Hi Cindy & Phil. l am so very glad that you are staying optimistic about Evi's prognosis. l wish all owners were as caring and understanding as you both are...your little girl obviously means everything to you. l think maybe the reason that the delivery costs for green tripe is so expensive is because it is so perishable, and would have to be packed in dry ice, which is something distributors and carriers have to be licensed to use. Maybe local butchers shops can advise you, and possibly order it in for you, as their meat is delivered in temperature controlled vehicles and stored in freezer rooms. It might be a case where the internet is not the best option. l really wish Evi and yourselves every happiness for the future, and enjoy your hols. Please let us know how she is getting on. Much love to you all. XXX.

Teddy is settling in really well. Still a bit nervous but he's getting better everyday. He's improving with his cat training each time we do it so fingers crossed I can make it work. Even if I can't, my mom and dad are so in love with him that they would have him in a heartbeat! Thank you to everyone who's given me so much help and advice so far xxx

Have a look at this website www.naturesmenu.co.uk, they deliver to your home I still use their food (the tripe does have a very strong smell - but you'll get used to smell!!!) Cant recommend their food too highly.

thank you everyone. I feel a bit more optimistic now and have already been doing some research on how to manage this with natural foods etc. Apparently, something called green tripe is brilliant for kidney disease? Loads of people seem to swear by it. I've looked online, but there doesn't seem anywhere local and the one place I looked at charges 100 pounds for shipping!! Does anyone know of anywhere in the midlands I can get it, or anyone who delivers for a slightly more reasonable charge?! xx

Maybe your darling girl is trying to do a spot of indoor landscape gardening? Something she can admire from the comfort of her bed possibly? Saves all the bother of going outside too! Clever girl! xx

Benny spent the day in the kitchen with everyone today including Sara's two non Greyhounds Charlie and Louis. He really is a fantastic lad and wanted to play all day with Louis who got rather fed up with all the attention! 🙂 Xxx

So glad you got a 2nd opinion. I know exactly how you feel, when my Grey little ted, was diagnosed my vet (who is greyhound specialist & have used for 20+ years) said was one of the worst cases he had seen,BUT he went straight onto canin renal diet (do some research) you can buy it from animal vet or similar site a lot cheaper than vets charge and then as I said yesterday he had his kidneys flushed out periodically. I was very careful with his diet and I was lucky to have his love for longer than I first thought. Best wishes.
