Why it works

Why we made a lower protein dog food Human-grade, fresh food for dogs with health issues

Diet plays an important role in managing health issues and can even slow disease progression. Low protein diets benefit dogs with liver and kidney disease or certain types of bladder stones. With kidney care, the goal is to feed just the right amount of protein to support your dog's needs–muscle maintenance, energy, immune function–but no more than that so you can aid kidney health.

Whether a lower protein food is right for your dog should be discussed with your veterinarian. Bramble's low protein dog food is not a prescription diet.

  • Plant-Based Protein

    Low phosphorus and high in fermentible fiber to rid protein digestion waste in stool.

  • High Moisture

    Helps dogs with kidney disease maintain hydration

  • Nutritionally Dense

    So dogs struggling with nausea can eat less and still get high quality nutrition.

  • Formulated by Veterinary Nutritionist

    Designed to meet AAFCO standards and ensure all your dog's needs are covered

FAQs

The things dog parents ask us most

Get quick answers to the most common questions.

How do I transition my dog to a low protein diet?

Dogs with kidney disease usually aren't feeling well, so it's important to treat symptoms like nausea before introducing a new dog food. Otherwise, your dog might associate not feeling well with the new food and refuse to eat it. Once your dog is feeling a little better, you can start to introduce them to Bramble by adding it to their regular food and increasing it slowly.

Is Bramble's low protein dog food a prescription diet?

No, Bramble is not a prescription diet. Bramble's low protein dog food is formulated by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to provide liver and kidney support, as well as being suitable for some other health conditions that benefit from a lower protein, low phosphorus, low fat diet. Whether your dog would benefit from Bramble's low protein recipes should be discussed with your veterinarian.

How does Bramble's low protein dog food compare to other kidney disease pet foods?

Most other therapeutic pet food is ultra-processed kibble or wet food, made with low-quality ingredients. Bramble's human-grade, antioxidant-rich ingredients are gently cooked, never intensely heated, and free from preservatives and allergens that could upset sensitive stomachs. Bramble not only provides liver and kidney care, but also nourishes your dog's overall health and well-being.
