Sparky's Diet

(low protein, low fat,)

Diet is as follows

1-1/2 cups Boiling water
1-1/2 cups Minute Rice
1 raw egg (if you don't want to do this, a hard boiled egg or scrambled egg chopped up will do too)
1/8 tsp Salt substitute
� cup skinned cooked chicken breast, chopped fine in food processor (or ground turkey works)
1/4 cup fresh broccoli florets (or frozen) chopped fine

(I used to use 1-2 Tbsp dried parsley until I found out, for Sparky, that parsley is high in oxalates - may want to check with your vet though as far as adding green veggies)

Beat the egg, add to the hot water and rice and salt - let sit for 5 minutes or per package directions. You want enough rice to make 2-2/3 to 3 cups.

Cook up the chicken (can either boil or broil), cool, remove any skin, chop into fine pieces - food processor works great for this.

Let rice mix cool, add chicken and broccoli.

Supplements (add to the food mixture):

� capsule Nature's Way Vitamin B50 complex
3-4 capsules Dale Anderson's Norwegian Cod Liver Oil (I poke the capsule and squeeze the oil out. (1250 mg size)
1/4 capsule Nature's Way Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D
� capsule Nature's Way glucosamine 500 mg
1-2 capsules Nature's Way Standardized Milk Thistle Extract (purple label and cap)
� capsule Schiff Dry All E 400 IU


I feed him about 1-1/3 cups of this mixture per day along with about 1/4 cup distilled water with each serving of food to get a flush going for the kidneys. I break this daily quantity up into 3-5 small meals so as to not to overload his digestive system.

Other supplements to consider if kidney stones are not a problem is a good multi-vitamin supplement and Vitamin C.

The above mixture lasts Sparky about 3-4 days. I usually make a double batch and freeze half.

Other variations (in lieu of the rice):
