I was told Coot’s levels were elevated and we were looking at pre-kidney disease when she was about 15 years old. She hated the prescription foods so I tried Epakitin mixed into her usual food every day. She passed at 18 years old due to cancer, and her kidneys had outlasted all expectations. She remained quite healthy up until the very end. There’s no way to know for certain what would have happened without Epakitin, but I think it was well worth it. Review: I think this saved my 16 y/o dog - My 16 y/o childhood dog’s health suddenly and very rapidly declined from September to November. She went from jumping 10 inches off the ground for food, to barely being able to stand. I was almost ready to say goodbye but decided to take her to the vet to see what our options were. She had ridiculously high kidney BUN levels and was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. The vet recommended this, omega 3 oil, and prescription Hills Science Diet. 2 months later, she is still wobbly, but it looks like the life has returned to her eyes and body. She has enough energy to wag her tail and perk her ears, walk in the yard, and even go down the steps. It’s very easy to add to her food, she hasn’t had any aversions to it at all. I still need to get her bloodwork done to see if the values are lower, but by the amount of energy that has returned, I can assume they are. ## Features - Kidney Function Support: Vetoquinol Epakitin is a chitosan-based oral powder that provides nutritional support for healthy kidney function by acting as a phosphate binder in cats and dogs - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Formula: This pet supplement features lactose, calcium carbonate, and hydrolyzed soy protein without aluminum hydroxide, offering support for managing serum phosphorus, urea, and creatinine levels - Easy Feeding & Palatable: This convenient supplement powder blends smoothly as a tasty food mix, making it simple for pet parents to incorporate into their pet's meals, even for picky eaters - Compatible with Renal Diets: This kidney function support easily fits into your pet’s existing nutritional routine and can be used alongside specialized renal diets for additional phosphate management support - Confidence in Every Product: Made with a commitment to transparency, rigorous review, and dependable standards upheld across every product, we create happier and healthier moments for your pet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008476V2W | | Active Ingredients | Epakitin contains Lactose, Calcium Carbonate, Chitosan and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. | | Allergen Information | Yam Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,940 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #37 in Cat Multivitamins | | Brand | Vetoquinol | | Brand Name | Vetoquinol | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,652 Reviews | | Flavor | Flavorless | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00017030073584 | | Included Components | Epakitin for Dogs (180 gm) | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Kidney Support | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | Vetoquinol | | Manufacturer Part Number | 417358 | | Model Number | 417358 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Stomach | | Target Species | Cat, Dog | | UPC | 017030073584 030521016358 | | Unit Count | 180 Grams | ## Product Details - **Active Ingredients:** Epakitin contains Lactose, Calcium Carbonate, Chitosan and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. - **Brand:** Vetoquinol - **Flavor:** Flavorless - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 0.27 g ## Images ![- Epakitin - Chitosan Pet Supplement for Cats & Dogs - Supports Renal & Kidney Function - Aids with Feline & Canine Health - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Oral Powder - 180 Grams - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ceKEHnKZL.jpg) ![- Epakitin - Chitosan Pet Supplement for Cats & Dogs - Supports Renal & Kidney Function - Aids with Feline & Canine Health - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Oral Powder - 180 Grams - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qksc88qRL.jpg) ![- Epakitin - Chitosan Pet Supplement for Cats & Dogs - Supports Renal & Kidney Function - Aids with Feline & Canine Health - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Oral Powder - 180 Grams - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yHkXnpLOL.jpg) ![- Epakitin - Chitosan Pet Supplement for Cats & Dogs - Supports Renal & Kidney Function - Aids with Feline & Canine Health - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Oral Powder - 180 Grams - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SxdymKjhL.jpg) ![- Epakitin - Chitosan Pet Supplement for Cats & Dogs - Supports Renal & Kidney Function - Aids with Feline & Canine Health - Aluminum Hydroxide-Free Oral Powder - 180 Grams - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71leGY3E-qL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how long does it take for epakitin to begin working ....days, weeks?** A: After being released from 4 days of hospitalization for acute renal failure, my cat became symptom-free and flourished (still flourishing) after 10 days of adding small amounts of Epakitin in her wet cat food. twice a day. **Q: If a low phosphorus diet is prescribed, why does this product contain phosphorus?** A: Epakitin is made from shellfish shells and they naturally contain phosphorus. 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good results *by M***E on May 12, 2026* I think it gave me extra years with my cat.

She went from jumping 10 inches off the ground for food, to barely being able to stand. I was almost ready to say goodbye but decided to take her to the vet to see what our options were.

He wasn't acting like himself. Vet said his blood work showed Phosphorus at 30 should be < 7.5!! HIs BUN was high over 300 too. They suggested I put him down as he was in Renal failure. I decided to take him home flush with fluids 2xs a day 100 in am 50 pm for a week. His appetite slowly came back with BeechNut Natural Beef flavor baby food jar sometimes thinned out with a little water. I started adding Epakitin to his food as directed for a 6# cat which was half the scoop with am meal other half pm. I also added a little for any snacks as he needs to gain weight. Some days I give him more than one scoop depends. This was in January 22. I haven't gotten his blood tested again yet b/c he's hasn't gained enough weight but at least he's eating and acting more like himself again. We're not out of the woods as you know Kidney disease in cats a tough one to maintain. But we have a little more time with him and he's not complaining either! My 15yo cat is pre-kidney disease so he gets a small sprinkle on his wet food as a pre-emptive strike against CKD. I don't think the cats can taste it so it goes well with any food just mix well. Avoid dry food if your cat has CKD. Good luck! Ok so a quick update here since I forgot to mention some other things I did to help him. So, a year later (Jan 23) my cats is fine! Eats and drinks regularly! Gained weight back! The appetite stimulate prescribed called Mirataz was awful and made him more wired and but could not eat. This is the 2nd cat that Mirataz transdermal did NOT work at all for. Vet suggested another med that works on different pathways its called Ondanesetron. I knew I could not pill him so I asked if it could be compounded. BTW they can compound just about anything. I got the script filled at a local pharmacy. Within minutes of giving this to him orally thru a syringe he was looking for food. And that is how I got the Epakitin in him. I don't give him Epakitin anymore unless he starts withdrawing. Epakitin will get those high numbers down! Hope this helps you with your baby! ## 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-epakitin-chitosan-pet-supplement-for-cats-and-dogs-supports-renal](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/12239472-epakitin-chitosan-pet-supplement-for-cats-and-dogs-supports-renal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
