Hi This has been recommended by vet for a nephrogenic DI dog. Thanku

I don't have a good foundation for answering this question, but maybe, in taking a stab at it, I'll bring on someone who knows more than I do.

Look at the dry foods available to you and choose one that seems relatively low on sodium and protein .. . . then fill it out with something that has little sodium and / or protein, such as pumpkin or cooked white rice. Throw in a few micronutrients, minerals, and omega-3/6's using dietary supplements.

Hills Science Z/D in cans has only 3% protein content. It's first ingredient is water. I am not sure about the total salt content but it would be low. Not a cheap alternative but there if you need it.

The hills liver diet - L/D (I think) is low in protein.

My old dog was on hills k/d since diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Hills u/d is also low sodium and protein but doesn't have the fish oil k/d has.

the diagnosing veterinarian should be offering you diet advice with such a serious condition. Do you mean Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus? Would it also not depend on the cause of the disease as well?
