Can healthy dogs eat prescription kidney or low-fat dog food safely?

Question

Chloe has been going through numerous health issues including ARF and pancreatitis. Because of this she has been going back and forth between diets. She was previously on the low fat diet, but the pancreatitis is clearing up, so she now is back on a kidney diet. She has become very finicky, so we have a lot of uneaten food. My question is can our other dogs eat it without complication? We have dry and can food for kidney and low fat.

Hello. Yes, but I would mix the kidney diet in with the other dogs regular diet. This way, they will have no problems eating their regular food once you have gone through the left over kidney diet. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
