Product Description
Epakitin, a new nutritional supplement from Vétoquinol USA, Inc., safely and effectively supports kidney function and helps slow down the progression of chronic kidney disease. Easy to use in cats and dogs Helps pets feel better and live longer Great-tasting, easy-to-administer powder Can be used alone, mixed with regular food or in combination with a prescription renal diet Chronic Kidney Disease is one of the leading causes of death in dogs and cats. In North America, it is estimated that 8% of cats aged 10 years or more suffer from CKD. CKD affects approximately 2.4% of dogs aged 10 years or older. The diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease is generally based on low urine density and the increase of creatininemia, uremia and hyperphosphatemia, as well as clinical symptoms. By the time these symptoms become noticeable, serious damage may have occurred. Only when 75% of nephrons are no longer functional can clinical and biochemical signs of CKD be detected. While chronic kidney disease is incurable, adding Epakitin to the diet enables you to protect the renal function of dogs and cats better than ever. It is possible to slow down the auto-destructive cycle of CKD and increase life expectancy by limiting the increase of phosphatemia, with the help of a low phosphorus diet and/or by adding a phosphate binder to the diet. Epakitin is a chitosan-based nutritional supplement that is both a phosphate binder and uremic reducer. In clinical trials chitosan has been proven effective in decreasing phosphatemia, as well as reducing urea and creatinine blood levels. Ingredients: Lactose, Calcium Carbonate, Chitosan, Soy Protein. Indications For Use In Cats and Dogs. Allow free access to fresh water during administration. Administration can be life long. This is a nutritional supplement. For supporting renal function in cats and dogs. Administration: Give one scoop per 10 lbs orally twice daily with food. Always make sure fresh water is available for y |

Epakitin - Palatable to Pets by tme (Sherwood, OR)  5 Stars
October 07, 2009
My vet sent me home with this product to use with my dog who has renal (kidney) failure. I was surprised to find it was available over the counter. I can't vouch for its effectiveness, I am not a vet. But I can vouch for it being palatable to my dog, who has been on meds so long he is suspicious of everything that is not human food. I was shocked to find I could simply mix it into a couple of tablespoons of canned dog food (this is for a 20 lb dog so the dose is a small scoop) and he would eat it as if the dog food was straight out of the can. I'm very pleased with this product.

A Must Have by B. Lefever (Iowa) 5 Stars
May 16, 2009
Highly recommended by my vet. I do feel this supplement adds quality time to the life of your loved one. I mixed the powder in her canned food, she liked that better than sprinkling it on her dry kibble.
