Rx Vitamins Phos-Bind - Kidney Support Supplement Powder - Phosphate Binder for Cats & Dogs for Kidney Health - Supports Normal Kidney Cleanse and Essential Kidney Care - 35g

I have a dog who has renal disease and she is a bit of a picky eater in her old age. This phosphate binder works extremely well, it dissolves completely and she doesn’t even seem to know it’s there. Anyone who has had an animal on a special diet knows just how expensive the food is so I’m able to borrow a little bit of food from my other two dogs and mix the phosphorus binder in that food and then mix her dry kibble with that wet food and she eats it all down. It has no smell and apparently the taste is nonexistent or very minimal. It’s a white fine powder that can get on other things, but it’s easy enough to clean up and I think it’s a great value for the money because other products are much more expensive. But always coordinate with your vet so you don’t give them too much or too little. it’s been a process with my girl. But her phosphorus values are coming down as we slowly edge up the amount that she’s getting with each meal my girl gives it her seal of approval. Don’t mind the mess. After three spinal surgeries last year, two of which weren’t expected or planned I’m able to resume cleaning the house, especially now that my flooring is in finally after six months of house disarray.

I add this to my CKD kitties food and his phosphorus levels are now normal, yippee! I am a soon to be veterinarian and would recommend this as a daily supplement for CKD cats - my senior CKD kitty is VERY picky but does not seem to mind/taste when I add this to his dry food. I use the "shake and bake" method of adding his food to a ziploc baggy with the powder and shaking it to coat it thoroughly. Overall, good product at a great price that helps manage phosphorus intake in pets that require a low phosphorus diet.

I have been using this for quite a while now and I am currently on my fourth container. The vet is happy with it, the cat tolerates it without any issues, and that makes it easy for me to keep using it consistently. It does tend to clump when mixed into wet food, but adding a little water helps a lot and makes it much easier to blend evenly. Most importantly, my cat’s kidney profile is looking much better, which makes this feel well worth it.

UPDATE: Molly went back for follow up labs in September and her creatinine only went up by .01, so this product is definitely helping with the progression of her CKD! Our 9yo tabby recently got dx with early stage kidney disease. The cost of the Rx food is ridiculous, especially with many reviews indicating their cats don't like it. My vet approved us trying this and we've been using it since January. We mix it in with her wet food and add a little bit of water to make it kind of soupy so it mixes better and she hasn't (YET) noticed that there's anything added to her food. We aren't due for labs for a couple of months, but she seems to be doing a lot better since introducing this into her diet.

This literally saved my dogs life he's doing so much better since taking this and he's On His 2nd order I definitely recommend ❤️

My dog used a different med that is currently on backorder. I tried this out and it has worked great for her.

Gave it to my renal cat because he decided he no longer liked his food. Thought I'd put some Salmon pate on it and he loved that but it isn't a renal food so thought this would offset the regular food. He got an upset stomach at half the dose and refused to eat for 2 days. so, I quit doing it.

I've tried the phos binders from the vet office for my cat with stage 1 kidney disease and he refused to eat the food when it was mixed with it. This one in his food we eats no problem. The vet is okay with him using it and now has him on 2 scoops per meal. His kidney levels have been fairly low considering he refuses to eat renal food and honestly my wallet couldn't handle that either. He has been using this product for a year now. So if your cat has kidney disease and the renal food is too expensive and/or your cat thinks it's gross and refuses to eat it. Talk to your vet about this product. Also do an internet search and read the feline kidney disease support groups on reddit. I found lists there that are in PDF format of ALL the foods, renal support to everyday basic foods. It shows their phos count mg per kcals. There is also a good website of the same thing called feline.crf.org that is titled Tanya's comprehensive guide to feline chronic kidney disease. Read up, go down the different rabbit holes they all take you on and discuss it with your vet. I hope that helps on your kitty's journey to navigating kidney disease and staying as health as long as possible. <3
