The tiny amount of phosphorus in Epakitin is negligible. It's only eight ten-thousandths of one per cent or 0.0000008 gram phosphorus to 0.999992 gram of all the other ingredients in a one-gram dose. 0.0000008 + 0.999992 = 0.9999928, or (rounding up) 1 gram. **Q: My cat refuses wet food, dry only - how can I administer these granules? Wish it was a pill.** A: It has been a long time since we needed this powder. I believe you could mist the dry food with water or chicken broth to get the powder to stick to the dry food. We had to try quite a variety of wet foods before we found some that our cat would eat. Good luck. **Q: I'm having a terrible time getting my cat to eat her medicated food. She dos not like the taste! Do any of you dose your cats with regular cat food?** A: My cat with kidney disease never would eat the medicated renal diet. She had eaten mostly dry food and wouldn't eat moist kidney foods. But she happily took Fancy Feast broths and Hartz Delectables pouches. We give her one of each and put one capsule of AminAvast powder and one scoop of Epakitin powder in both times. She started out in stage 3 renal failure but her labs have slightly improved and have not worsened at all over 1.5 years, and she seems to feel quite well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Reviews Lab *by R***B on October 7, 2026* I’ve been giving this supplement to my pet for a little while now and it’s been working well so far.

It is reasonably priced and is really helpful for cats who do not cooperate with a more comprehensive kidney control diet. The product is not the gold standard of care, but can be a clear help. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vetoquinol Epakitin Chitosin-Based Phosphate Binder for Cats & Dogs – Renal Support Supplement Powder - 180g - Vetoquinol Azodyl Kidney Health Supplement for Dogs & Cats, 90ct - Probiotic Pet Wellbeing - Help Support Kidney Function & Manage Renal Toxins - Renal Care Supplement - Easy-to-Swallow Small Caps - Azovast Plus Kidney Health Supplement for Dogs & Cats, 120ct - NO Refrigeration Required - Help Support Kidney Function & Manage Renal Toxins - Renal Care Supplement Capsule(U.S.A) (120 Caps) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/12239472-vetoquinol-epakitin-chitosan-pet-supplement-for-cats-and-dogs-180](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/12239472-vetoquinol-epakitin-chitosan-pet-supplement-for-cats-and-dogs-180) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
