About This Item
RenaKare (Potassium Gluconate) Gel is prescribed to help correct low potassium levels in both cats and dogs. Potassium deficiencies are common in dogs, and they’re particularly common in cats. Your pet may lose too much potassium through his urine and through his gastrointestinal tract. Pets who don’t get enough potassium through their food may also need a potassium supplement to help regulate those levels. This gel is easy to administer, and your vet may have you mix it into your pet’s food to help prevent any stomach upset.
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.

Works when I hide it in…
Vet recommended this. Purchased first tube from vet for more than 3x what chewy is charging, so I’ll be ordering my refills here. Cat is super finicky snd knows when food has been tampered with, and refuses the food. However, if I stir a dose of this with one tube of Churu lickable treats in a bowl, she refuses it at first but then goes back and eats it. This is a win given it needs to be administered 2x a day!!! And I’m pleased to not have to force feed it to her. Try the Churu trick. It worked for me so this is clearly palatable “enough” when mixed with something yummy.
cat hates it
note: i submitted a detailed review that didn't get posted for some reason. so this is my second attempt, minus all the details: my senior cat needs to supplement potassium 3 times per day but she absolutely hates this gel and refuses to take it.
My cat doesn't like it
My kitty's potassium levels have been low and our vet suggested RenaKare as a supplement. My cat won't take the gel but I ordered both the gel and the powder form and thankfully I am able to mix the powder in his food and he eats it.
Vet prescription
I was so happy to find this on Chewy. My vet prescribed it. I don't know yet if my cat will improve, but I trust the vet.
Great product
Easy to use , love that it’s a gel & my dog likes it uses it to keep her potassium right
Chewy Pharmacy
Although my vet approved the prescription promptly, the pharmacy took almost a week to process this order. And only after I called to speed things up. Sadly, the medicine came too late to benefit my sick pet.
Works Great!
Works great for our diabetic dog, cheaper from Chewy and easy to get the prescription from our vet!
