Hi Katy: It's 2018 and I'm only now finding your post from 2015! I'm curious if you might share what raw diet you used? My little girl has been diagnosed with CRF (her kidneys are "dead" per the vet), but I want to give her every fighting chance I can. She's my only "child"...my ONLY family. So this is important to us both. What might you recommend, please? Thank you in advance!

Hi, Would you mind sharing what kind of raw food you ended up using and how you determined it was low in phosphorous?

Thanks so much for this encouraging tale, Katy. You saw first hand both sides of the diet myth. Very impressive.
I'm sorry he had heart complications that ended up being his undoing, but what a story he's told, and one that you can continue to share even though he's gone.
And yes, raw can be more work, more expense (depending on how you do it), but, as someone in the human health field said, "Pay me now (for healthy produce, etc.) or pay the doctor later."
Thanks so much for sharing this here, Katy.
