Prescription Item
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
RenaPlus is a prescription medication used to help supplement potassium gluconate. Potassium is needed to maintain overall body health, and RenaPlus provides a safe and effective generic alternative to Tumil-K. It's also available in powder form for easy administration. Veterinarians may use this to treat companion animals.
UsesRenaPlus is used to provide your pets with the potassium they need when they suffer from hypokalemia (low blood potassium). Low potassium levels are common in pets with kidney (renal) problems and can also occur because of other medical conditions.
Possible Side EffectsRenaPlus is generally very safe when it is used as prescribed. It can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea but these side effects can be minimized when given with food
Drug & Food InteractionsInteractions have been reported with enalapril, digoxin, spironolactone, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or carprofen. Always discuss all medications and supplements with your vet before giving RenaPlus.
Precautions
Pets with high blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) should not take RenaPlus. If severe kidney disease, acute dehydration, untreated Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism), or hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells) is present, this supplement should not be given. Use should also be avoided in animals with constipation.
Also available in a powder.

thick and gummy
By phyl1 on Jan 30, 2021
I followed the directions to put some on his nose to stimulate interest. He tried to escape by running from me. So then I picked him up & tried placing some on the side of his mouth getting it partially in his mouth. I noticed it was very thick & gummy & I had trouble getting it on my finger for all of this. As soon as he got it in his mouth he was gagging & foaming so of course I immediately put him down. I had also placed some on his paw as I was desperate to get this medication in him. He completely ignored his paw, got in a chair & tucked him paw under him placing the gel onto the cushion. This was a complete fail! Thank you Chewy for resolving this & switching me to the powder.

I don’t know if I got a defective tube or if this is what it’s supposed to be like but I can’t imagine any kitty willingly taking this way too thick, gummy gel. … more

It does the job.
By Alicia on Feb 9, 2020
Would prefer RenaKare brand for the flavor. My cat doesn't like either formula but prefers RenaKare. It does the job though.
