Vetoquinol Renal K+ Gel Dog & Cat Supplement, 5-oz tube

We have an 18 year old whose potassium is chronically low. We have to give her appetite stimulants to help keep her eating, but as long as she is eating, she will take this gel mixed into her wet food. It really helps, she does feel better and has more energy when she's getting the potassium. She prefers gravy type foods and this stirs in easily. I also add a little water to thin it out a bit and make a nice gravy. Our 14 year old also loves to get some gravy with this mixed in, when she was younger she hated it. They won't eat it straight from the tube, and I've noticed that the younger cats turn up their noses but the oldest ones like it.

My precious soon to be 21 year old kitty, Noah, was just diagnosed with Kidney failure. His bloodwork also indicated he was extremely low in potassium. Our vet suggested we order this product, which would give him the potassium needed for strength and energy, plus a load of other essential vitamins. It works! Noah now has renewed energy since using Renal K+. A half teaspoon twice a day added to his wet food is all it takes and he loves the taste! His new “low protein kidney” food which is usually not as tasty as normal wet food, is now tasty with Renal +!

I have an old kitty who needs some help through supplements due to failing kidneys. I got this from my vet originally but needed to get more. I was very pleased to find it at Chewy at such a reasonable price. Thanks!

My dog had been put on lasix 12.5mg three times a day for congestive heart failure since December, shes on other medicines as well. She has had blood levels checked periodically since then. Some days are good and some have been better! On one of the could have been better days I took her in for a vet appt. She had blood taken and her potassium was down to 2.3!! And her renal function wasn't great. I started using Renal K, giving her a dab from my finger, sometimes twice a day. I took her back for a recheck in 11 days. Her potassium was 3.7 (normal range 3.4-4.5). her other blood levels BUN/Creatinine were better too. I was pleased,so was her Vet, and she was doing better.

When potassium gets too low, and they become dehydrated, cardiac arrythmias can occur as well as kidneys failing. She is 14 years old, but I just want her to be as healthy and comfortable as possbile. … more

Worked great. Cat has more energy and obviously feels better. This product provides potassium to replace some of what is flushed out due to kidney failure (frequent urination).

My cat had low Vitamin K levels so this is what my vet recommended. She said cats love it, which to me always signals how they hate it. And this was true here. Pacey would not lick it off my finger. I was also told to rub it on his leg as we do with hairball treatment. But it stuck to his fur and I literally could not wash it out. However, I've been able to mix it in with his wet food. And to my surprise, he eats it without complaint, so I've continued to buy this.

My 17-year-old cat is borderline kidney disease and has hyperthyroidism with ongoing stomach issues. He has crashed a few times, had bouts of vomiting and dehydration, and is now getting fluids and some stomach meds as maintenance. I know his potassium is low due to all of this, and wanted to try this to help perk him up. He absolutely hates any kind of liquid, gel etc. that I have to put on his mouth or face. He shakes his head until it comes off! He does not like the flavor, either and is hard to impress. I think this is related to when he was very sick last year and on a nutracal, so he associates all pastes with the trauma of hospitalization, too.

My elderly dog develop Cushing's disease. This disease lowered her potassium level to a point where she was lethargic. This product has gotten her back on track. And she was doing great. She even likes the taste of it.

My cat recently developed kidney failure My vet put her on this as a supplement and she turned around. Not a cure but better life with this and other supplements. Great price at Chewy.com

I've started my 14 yr old cat on this. His kidneys are starting to go. He isn't in kidney failure yet, but he wasn't feeling well. This product has stopped his yowling, which was likely from pain. He has much more energy, too! Also, his appetite is back with a vengeance.
