Vetoquinol Ipakitine Phosphate Reducer Aiding Kidney Function (Size: 180g Pot)

I have been using this for years and I'm sure it helps cats with kidney disease. Other versions have come out over the years in paste form, but the cats always turn their nose up at food with them in. That has never been a problem with Ipakitine. As most of us know, cats can be very picky with renal food and I get fed up with opening endless renal pouches costing £1+ a pouch, only for cats to ignore them. Regular food with Ipakitine is 2nd best, but the bottom line is getting our cats to eat. Given that it's enough to dose 180 meals, it's well worth the price for a small pot of powder (although my latest cat in in his 5th year since diagnosis and his phosphate level is rising, so the vet told me to add extra Ipakitine to his meals)

Great help for my dog no more accidents

Suggested by the vet to help support my dogs kidney disease. Much cheaper than the vets.

Tub came in good condition with seal intact. Dog Didn't seem to taste in dinner. No tummy upsets, easy to measure out with spoon inside. As with all medicine can have side affects. Dog now has anemia, but, having said that if she didn't have this she wouldn't be able to have normal food she would be on renel food which she detests. Will be buying again

A bit expensive, hope it helps our doggy.

yes!!! Vet recommended this product for resolving a kidney problem common in senior cats. It immediately picked my cat up and gave him a vigourous life again. It's not a permanent solution, but it will slow down kidney problems. He likes to eat it mixed in with his breakfast and dinner.

Bought for my elderly cat that was diagnosed with kidney disease and special food is not available at my location. She eats it no problem, is looking healthier but haven't had new bloodwork done to check kidneys. Seemed expensive but it lasts ages. Will continue to put it on her food.

Our cat has had chronic kidney failure diagnosed for 5+ years. We have been using this item sparingly for our cat for over 5 years now in combination with a diet comprising high quality fresh and manufactured cat food, supplemented with specialist renal food. Like many cats, our cat will tolerate renal foods to a degree, but rapidly loses interest, but more importantly she loses weight; it is very important for cats to retain their weight when suffering from renal disease. Our vet recommended that we didn't use this product for prolonged periods and whilst I respect his professional opinion, faced with the challenge of feeding a cat solely renal food, which she barely tolerated, or allowing her to enjoy her life, we relented and use this product on a daily basis. When she eats solely renal food, we do notice that she urinates into her box much less, however, when faced with a cat who has a full bowl of expensive renal food untouched who is howling to be fed, we feel that we have achieved a compromise with her and she is fed traditional food twice a day, with half of her daily allowance of Ipakitine sprinkled over each meal, with top ups during the day of good quality renal food in small amounts (1 to 2 sachets a day). It seems to work and she has reached the age of 16 years, at least 5 years of which she has been treated for renal disease and associated hypertension. It certainly isn't a cheap option to supplement her food with this product, which she has no problem eating just sprinkled on top of her normal meals. How well it works for each individual cat I have no idea, however, when first diagnosed, our vet thought that she might last for two or three years as her condition was quite advanced when diagnosed and five or more years later......... Update Make that 8 years"……Grace at almost 18 years old is still going strong.

Très bien pour notre chat en IRC. Il le prend très bien dans sa pâtée.

Si sa che l'insufficienza renale è IRREVERSIBILE! l'unica cosa è attenuare i sintomi. O migliorare temporaneamente la dieta del gatto con le opportune accortezze. Acqua da bottiglia di vetro leggendo bene le sue proprietà e cibo sano. Il mio gatto ha migliorato gli esami del sangue, il calcio è ora regolare. Ma oltre a Ipakitine sciolto nell'acqua - che il mio gatto beve volentieri, utilizzo "BIOMAG LUMINA VET" magnetoterapia (e non bado a spese)!. Il mio gatto è un RE!

Significant improvement in my dog's liver problem

Realmente funciona, además no tiene sabor por lo que mezclado con la comida húmeda lo comen bien.

Es un buen producto para aliviar síntomas relacionados con insuficiencia renal en perros
