I got this at the advice of my veterinarian because my kitty with IBS had low potassium show up on his blood work. After a couple of months using this twice per day, his recheck showed normal levels. However, at that time I stopped giving him the supplement because his levels were normal, and one day a few months later, my poor kitty seemed very weak and unable to lift his head out of the blue! His blood work showed low potassium levels again (everything else was normal). Just 2 days on this supplement, given 3x per day this time, he was completely back to normal. It truly works, and I will keep him on this for life now! As for the taste, thankfully he's fine with eating it mixed into his food, or licking it off my finger. It smells like bacon. If your cat will eat this and his potassium is low, I highly recommend using it. Maybe all the ingredients aren't the best, but the proof is in the results.
The vitamin flavor in this is very strong both in smell and taste and I'm not able to hide it in her food and unfortunately because of her other health problems I am not able to administer it into her mouth with the dropper because that causes an asthma attack and she already has acute breathing issues.
My human just squirts a few drops onto my canned food. Yummy. also, approved by my veterinarian.
My elderly cat is having issues with absorbing nutrients, & my veterinarian recommended Amino B+K. It arrived from Chewy very quickly. When it came time to give him the first dose, I was a little apprehensive, as he's one of my pickier cats. He seemed VERY interested in how it smelled, so I offered it to him in a bowl. He was not impressed enough to lap it up. I used the dropper to give him the first dose, & he didn't mind at all, which can be HUGE for fussy cats who don't like oral medications/vitamins, etc. He's being very good about taking this every day.
This liquid is easier to administer than the Renal K gel. My cat laps it from the dropper and likes the taste. Only problem is you have to give a lot of the liquid compared to the gel. It’s just nice that he enjoys it more.
Exactly the same stuff I was getting from my vet for a third of the price! Great deal!
trying to add it to wet food made the whole plate of food sit there untouched. My cat that needs the supplement won't eat it, the other cat just ate it. I didn't give it a good rating because it likely doesn't taste good, the bottle and price too big for testing a product out
My 18-year-old cat had a bad UTI, which was cured easily with a brief course of antibiotics, and also declining kidney function. Instead of buying expensive kidney-care prescription food, I researched what ingredients differentiated that food from a basic recipe. This supplement seemed to cover most of those. I ordered it and began adding it as recommended to my cat's regular high-quality canned paté (she rotates among Instinct, Wellness, and Purina Pro Plan Prime Plus). At her next vet visit, of the three measures of kidney health, two had actually improved a little, and the third had declined by only a fraction—which is pretty amazing at her age. Always follow your vet's advice, but especially if you have a finicky kitty who won't eat the prescription food, this might be worth a try. As for taste, my cat eats her food more eagerly with the supplement applied. Keep in mind that what smells bad to us may appeal to cats!
My cat hates and loathe it too. Smells and tastes terribly. Waste of money.
Twice a day I add this to his bisque, broth or souped-up pate (whatever the flavor they may be) and he eats it- so it must be palatable to him. Please check the “precautions” listed here and be sure this is what your pet needs (run it by your Vet) because potassium % is greater than vitamin B12, as listed.
