Anubis modeling the phos bind on his nose after breakfast.I've tried the phos binders from the vet office for my cat with stage 1 kidney disease and he refused to eat the food when it was mixed with it. This one in his food we eats no problem. The vet is okay with him using it and now has him on 2 scoops per meal. His kidney levels have been fairly low considering he refuses to eat renal food and honestly my wallet couldn't handle that either. He has been using this product for a year now.So if your cat has kidney disease and the renal food is too expensive and/or your cat thinks it's gross and refuses to eat it. Talk to your vet about this product.Also do an internet search and read the feline kidney disease support groups on reddit. I found lists there that are in PDF format of ALL the foods, renal support to everyday basic foods. It shows their phos count mg per kcals. There is also a good website of the same thing called feline.crf.org that is titled Tanya's comprehensive guide to feline chronic kidney disease. Read up, go down the different rabbit holes they all take you on and discuss it with your vet. I hope that helps on your kitty's journey to navigating kidney disease and staying as health as long as possible. <3

I bought a different phosphorus binder which didn't help my dog's values. They stayed where the were which was just outside of the high normal range (6.6). I then went to a different old school vet who set that this product was popular with all "the younger vets" and suggested we try Aluminum Hydroxide instead. I purchased another product here on Amazon called "Rx Vitamins for pets Phos-Bind" and we retested the phosphorus levels after 2 weeks of usage. This reading was back in the normal range (4.9). For what it's worth, I also bought a product by the same company called "Amino B-plex" which seems to give my dog a little more energy and help with the muscle wasting/weight loss that you see in dogs with kidney disease.

This came fast. I like that there is a portion scoop included. My cat does not like the taste but I am mixing it in a lickable cat treat. Since we have started this, my cat has stopped drooling so I would say it is working.

Our 9yo tabby recently got dx with early stage kidney disease. The cost of the Rx food is ridiculous, especially with many reviews indicating their cats don't like it. My vet approved us trying this and we've been using it since January. We mix it in with her wet food and add a little bit of water to make it kind of soupy so it mixes better and she hasn't (YET) noticed that there's anything added to her food. We aren't do for labs for a couple of months, but she seems to be doing a lot better since introducing this into her diet.

It works great my dog is 15 had a kidney problem she was dying. Started giving this along with meds from doctor. She back acting like a puppy. Give it to her every day.

I am not a veterinarian so I do not have any comment now about how effective this medicine is. My standard is much lower. My vet originally sold me a similar product but it was liquid and my dog hated the liquid medicine's taste and smell. My dog Buster was extremely unhappy with the liquid medicine. But this medicine is different. Not only is a powdered form but has no taste or smell. It was easy to put the tiny amount into Buster's food. And now that Buster is taking his medicine I feel like I am doing a better job as a dog parent in treating his kidney disease.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Prescribed by veterinarian.

My firsthand experience with an aluminum phosphate binder for my cat highlights the delicate balance between its benefits and risks. Here's my story to help fellow cat owners navigate this treatment option.At my vet's suggestion, I ordered the binder from Amazon to address my cat's high phosphorus levels. Despite administering the lowest recommended dose for just two weeks, my cat suffered severe side effects. He started stumbling, showing neurological symptoms, vomiting, and completely lost his appetite.Before starting this treatment, my cat was a hearty eater, unconcerned about his phosphorus levels. However, after starting the binder, he developed serious neurological and lethargy issues and refused to eat. I rushed him to the vet, who prescribed an appetite booster and other meds. Thankfully, he got better once we stopped the binder.While this aluminum phosphate binder may help some cats, it's important to understand the potential for serious side effects for some cats, even at lower doses. In my experience, symptoms appeared gradually, and I didn't recognize the connection at first. There are other options to lower phosphorus levels, and while this one is commonly recommended and effective for some cats, close monitoring is crucial to catch any adverse reactions. Unfortunately, he still hasn't gotten his appetite back after using the binder, and he refuses to eat the food he used to enjoy.
