I think giving Sooky royal canin renal food every day is a good diet for him if he has kidney problems. There is also science diet K/D. You want a diet that is lower in phosphorus and protein to make it easier on the kidneys to digest. I would also recommend to feed canned food if possible as this helps to increase moisture in the diet and helps to flush the kidneys. I hope this helps!
