You stopped buying the processed stuff. You started cooking fresh. Chicken, rice, sweet potato, a little salmon. Your dog eats it with enthusiasm. Their coat looks great.

By the time you see something is wrong — you've been feeding the problem for years.
When levels get out of balance, dogs can develop bone problems — including "rubber jaw," where bone softens like cartilage — and kidney damage. Texas A&M Stories The popular "chicken and rice" recipe is one of the most common causes
