My dog has kidney failure and Lymphoma or Leukemia he was given a K/D prescription diet and wont eat it. He only has 1-6 months to live he has survived the first 2 and the vet said all we can do is to keep him happy! his prescription diet is not keeping him happy because he wont eat it! i need to find what human food i can feed him other than boiled chicken and eggs! Please help his not got long left and just want to make him as happy as can be!

You may want to try adding in some plain cooked brown rice, or some plain yogurt. I'm sorry to hear of the diagnoses of your baby :-(

I've heard that boiled chicken and rice is a good option. But you should also look into Canine Tripsy. Its an herbal tonic that was designed by a vet to help heal kidney failure and other kidney issues in dogs. Here's the link for more info: http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/dog-kidney-disease

i am so sorry to hear about your poor puppy. Basically feed him things which are low in protien. My dog had something wrong with his kidneys and wouldn't eat his special food so i ended up cooking him rice with chicken or liver or beef but the meat was tender and not fatty. Also my dog loved plain yogurt on the food but your dog might not be the same. I hope you enjoy your time together...... :(

my dog has lymphoma too... im here with you ;(
if he is having kidney problems then you want to avoid too much proteinn. however, cancer feeds on carbohydrates and you want to reduce or eliminate those so reducing protein may not be an option.
i have also started cooking for my dog. the diet should consist of 75% meat and the rest can be veggies and maybe a LITTLE brown rice (carbs). mine gets cooked ground meat (beef, turkey, lamb) and green beans, broccoli and cauliflower. i add a ton of olive oil to it and i also give him fish oil and vitamin E.
try researching canine cancer diets.
i'm sorry about your bad news, a healthy carb restricted diet may help contribute to a slightly longer and happy life, my dog absolutely loves it!
also..... if your vet told you to give him prescription hills diet then i would recommend switching vets. if you want to know why then google Hills Science diet and Cancer. most vets have sponsors and i understand the need for them but science diet is absolute garbage and they should have recommended that you prepare your own meals before going to that.
EDIT: while i totally and whole heartedly agree that a RAW diet is absolutely the best diet ever, if your dog has not previously been on this diet it is not recommended to switch to it if your dog has a weakened immune system. fruits are also out of the question as well as some veggies such as sweet potato and carrots because of the cancer.
