Unfortunately, I am not aware of any grain free diet for kidney disease. I would recommend discussing with your vet why they recommended a grain free diet and what their recommendation would be at this point. If George needs a grain free diet that is lower protein, you may need to make a homemade diet for him which would need to be formulated by a nutritionist ( http://www.balanceit.com/ ). Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
