Vetoquinol Renal K+ (Potassium Gluconate) Potassium Supplement Gel for Dogs and Cats, 5oz

This is a must have for older cats who become prone to renal issues. With diet changes and this product, I have noticed a difference and a slow down of the symptoms that occur when cats begin to show signs.

Price a little but half of the vet price. My cat eats it without any trouble and her kidneys are staying stably

My 16 year old sphynx cat, Sweetness, has heart failure and kidney failure and almost passed away a year ago. Part of the treatment from my vet cardiologist, Dr. Anthony Tobias (Seattle, WA) is Renal K. Sweetness' potassium levels were way down and this supplement got her stabilized. It's about $27 at the vet office but I'm glad I found it here since it's cheaper. Sweetness gets 1/2 tsp every 24 hours. It smells like waffles but my girl doesn't like it. With practice and a tongue depressor I'm able to give it to her quite easily. I measure out the 1/2 tsp and scoop it up with a tongue depressor. Gently open her jaw with my left hand using my thumb and index finger to gently pry her jaw open making her mouth open, then gently drop it down her gullet. It takes only seconds. Works every time and it's a life saver in my opinion. I attached an image of the back of the tube that shows the active/inactive ingredients in case anyone needs to know.

Easy to mix into my cat's food, and he seems to like the maple flavor. It is a twice daily supplement though, but since taking this, my cat's potassium levels have been in the normal range.

My cat will take this when mixed with wet foos.

I mix this with my dog food it was requested by my vet for my dog he isn't seem to mind it at all

It does seem to be helping my older female cat, who is about 16.5 years old. She does have elevated blood count numbers that indicate her kidney's are beginning to go - and she did drink more water than she used to. Although, since I started giving this to her (about 1/2 inch in paste), she seems to not drink as much (still quite a bit but better) and her appetite has improved. I've been giving this to her about the last 2 months, everyday. And she does not react negatively to it - so that is a good sign, I recommend!

Vet Solutions Renal K+ has been an easy-to-administer treatment for my cat's chronic potassium deficiency. If you have ever tried to give pills to a cat you know how much fun that is (not)! This gel makes my cat's treatment so much easier. Squeezing it from a syringe into the corner of her mouth so she doesn't taste it makes it go down pretty uneventfully. It's just too bad that it is not manufactured in another flavor other than maple syrup. That's definitely a dog flavor! So, Vet Solutions, listen up and offer your Renal K+ in tuna, chicken, or liver flavors and you will win some feline fans!

Cat got used to it very quickly, has been on it for more than six months now, stable kidneys.
