Epakitin - 60 grams

My cat has kidney disease. When I was searching for something for her to eat, because she doesn't eat kidney food that was prescribed for her. i know she loves fancy feast she has eaten it all her life. I read it doesnt have phosfurus. So I looked on here to find what I could put in her food. I read the positive reviews on this product. Tried it. She loves it & will eat it. She doesn't eat enough of her canned food. The dry food is helping her feel better

My 16 y/o childhood dog’s health suddenly and very rapidly declined from September to November. She went from jumping 10 inches off the ground for food, to barely being able to stand. I was almost ready to say goodbye but decided to take her to the vet to see what our options were. She had ridiculously high kidney BUN levels and was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. The vet recommended this, omega 3 oil, and prescription Hills Science Diet. 2 months later, she is still wobbly, but it looks like the life has returned to her eyes and body. She has enough energy to wag her tail and perk her ears, walk in the yard, and even go down the steps. It’s very easy to add to her food, she hasn’t had any aversions to it at all. I still need to get her bloodwork done to see if the values are lower, but by the amount of energy that has returned, I can assume they are.

I think it gave me extra years with my cat. I was told Coot’s levels were elevated and we were looking at pre-kidney disease when she was about 15 years old. She hated the prescription foods so I tried Epakitin mixed into her usual food every day. She passed at 18 years old due to cancer, and her kidneys had outlasted all expectations. She remained quite healthy up until the very end. There’s no way to know for certain what would have happened without Epakitin, but I think it was well worth it.

Been using this product for years to assist in lowering the amount of phosphorus in cat food for my Chronic Kidney Disease kitty. While it' difficult to measure the effectiveness directly, his levels of phosphorus have been fairly stable. Product is consistent and mixes well with the food. Please consult your vet for consultation before beginning any new product. My personal vet , as well as many CKD cat sites, recommended this product in our case.

I am sure it works wonderful, but unfortunately my pup doesn't want to eat anything that touches this binder. I need to find a different brand that doesn't have smell or taste. Too bad. I'm writing this review not to say this product is bad, but to let other owners aware that your dog may not like the smell/taste of this.

I have a 2 year old tabby. He wasn't acting like himself. Vet said his blood work showed Phosphorus at 30 should be < 7.5!! HIs BUN was high over 300 too. They suggested I put him down as he was in Renal failure. I decided to take him home flush with fluids 2xs a day 100 in am 50 pm for a week. His appetite slowly came back with BeechNut Natural Beef flavor baby food jar sometimes thinned out with a little water. I started adding Epakitin to his food as directed for a 6# cat which was half the scoop with am meal other half pm. I also added a little for any snacks as he needs to gain weight. Some days I give him more than one scoop depends. This was in January 22. I haven't gotten his blood tested again yet b/c he's hasn't gained enough weight but at least he's eating and acting more like himself again. We're not out of the woods as you know Kidney disease in cats a tough one to maintain. But we have a little more time with him and he's not complaining either! My 15yo cat is pre-kidney disease so he gets a small sprinkle on his wet food as a pre-emptive strike against CKD. I don't think the cats can taste it so it goes well with any food just mix well. Avoid dry food if your cat has CKD. Good luck! Ok so a quick update here since I forgot to mention some other things I did to help him. So, a year later (Jan 23) my cats is fine! Eats and drinks regularly! Gained weight back! The appetite stimulate prescribed called Mirataz was awful and made him more wired and but could not eat. This is the 2nd cat that Mirataz transdermal did NOT work at all for. Vet suggested another med that works on different pathways its called Ondanesetron. I knew I could not pill him so I asked if it could be compounded. BTW they can compound just about anything. I got the script filled at a local pharmacy. Within minutes of giving this to him orally thru a syringe he was looking for food. And that is how I got the Epakitin in him. I don't give him Epakitin anymore unless he starts withdrawing. Epakitin will get those high numbers down! Hope this helps you with your baby!

—Have two 14 yo cats with Stage One CKD. After 11 months of Epakitin, there has been no change in their blood Creatinine and BUN levels. They don’t mind the small amount of Epakitin in every wet meal they get. I mix it thoroughly to bind more Phosphorus in the ‘high normal’ protein can food, and I stopped giving the kitties any kibble food (with the exception of occasional crunchy treats) - due to toxins being formed during high heat production. Low phosphorus helps protect the damaged kidneys. About 10 months ago, I started giving my cats Azodyl probiotic capsules which seed their intestines with bacteria that break down protein, supposedly leading to less toxic protein derived byproducts in their blood - like urea, creatinine, uric acid, and ammonia. Despite the good news from the lab results, my cats’ appetites have been increasingly (but slowly) waning. They are eating less, and sleeping more which is probably what most cat owners see in their senior cats anyway. Still sad seeing them not interested in playing with their toys and more interested in staying warm. CBD Oil (no THC) and Electric pads wrapped in soft towels keep them and their joints more comfortable.

I asked my cat, he had no opinion. It hasn't bothered him yet.

It was helpful
