It is best to avoid raw diets in pets with liver and/or kidney disease as the body’s ability to filter out toxins may be compromised. Generally, a diet low in fat, low to moderate in protein and easily digested carbs are the goal. Additionally, specific supplements added for liver support are mentioned here as well.
It is best to have guidance from your veterinarian as specific cases will be treated differently. What may ideal for one pet may be deleterious for another. In some cases, prescription formulated diets may be a good option.
