Pedro, your boy isn't sick YET. So, get him on the food Pat recommends and strip test his pee every few days. Do this until you see the color change. THAT is when you need to do the suppliments for him.

Honestly, any good quality food is good and if you are concerned about protein, go with one that is moderate
Strip test at least once a month for about 3 to 4 days in a row

Same time every month is a good way to remember, doesn't matter when during the month.
Again as far as food, you need to read the ingredients and then decided for yourself. There are a number of good foods…

I can only answer by naming the foods that I use, I don't recommend things I don't use. The Natural Balance foods are good, Potato and Duck for example. People really need to learn to reseach themselves and feed what they are comfortable with

Pedro, some of us here have loved and lost b's with fanconi. I just have to tell you that you need to remember is this. THE DOG DOESN'T KNOW HE IS SICK. now read this again.
The dog doesn't know he is sick. He gets up each day and enjoys what happens.
You need to do this as well. YOU know he might get sick on day, but you just prepare for this, and you let it go and enjoy your beloved dog and the life you have together.
Enjoy this time. Watch, but enjoy. Do you see what I mean. Love the time you have now. -
