I'm feeding it to 2 of my dogs.. strange how things change, huh?? used to be we would freak out if the protein was higher than 24%.. the dogs LOVE it, stools are great, and they are putting on weight.. they are 4 and 5 yrs. old.. it is pricey, and recently has gotten even pricier (is that a word?)... I don't go getting blood work done on my dogs every other week, so as far as being good or bad for the kidneys how would I know? they are healthy, active, not peeing too much or too little, no changes in water consumption.. it's all good.. I started out with Taste of the Wild' but availability can be a problem sometimes around here, so went to the Orijen.. both are made "locally" I.e. made in Alberta..so that is a plus as well for me..
