Facts worth knowing before comparing

k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Dry Dog Food | Hill's Prescription Diet
Hill’s k/d Kidney Care Chicken starts with brewers rice, chicken fat, and brown rice, with low protein, phosphorus, and sodium but high fat/calories. I would use it only for veterinarian-guided kidney support, not general high-protein or low-fat feeding.
Canine Renal Support A
Royal Canin Renal Support A starts with rice, corn flour, animal fat, corn gluten, and soy protein, so it should not be judged as a general ingredient-upgrade food. It is a kidney-support prescription diet built around 16% protein, 0.2% phosphorus, 0.2% sodium, and 0.7% potassium; I would only consider it under veterinary direction, not for healthy dogs.
