Please read carefully, it is when the dog shows symptoms, NOT BEFORE. Just because he test Prob Affected, this is a LATE onset issue and can show up anytime between 3yrs and 12yrs.. usual being around 6 or 7.
There is NOTHING to treat before he shows symptoms

High quality proteins are easily digested and do not tax the kidneys as much as lower quality proteins.

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
