Vetoquinol Epakitin Phosphate Binder for Cats & Dogs with Chitosan-Based Formula

Dawn: I found out about Epakitin doing my own research and I was a little apprehensive to give it to my 19-year-old chihuahua. I originally tried sprinkling it on his food but he would not eat it. I did not continue to give the Epakitin because it was more important to make sure he was eating. Earlier in the year he had a full geriatric blood panel done and was in Stage 2 Kidney Disease. Recently I took him to the vet because he really wouldn't eat and he was wheezing. I was told he was in kidney failure and had about one week to live. During this visit, I was educated that kidney failure and the backup of phosphates in the system, make food taste bad. My vet mentioned that I could try giving him Gaviscon to help with the phosphate buildup.

Don Feeney: Epakitin was prescribed by my vet for our older cat, who has some kidney problems. I add one level scoop to each small can of wet food. Both cats share the same food, and they seem to like the addition of Epakitin. If anything, they are eating better. Very easy to use.

Vivian Lopez: Excellent product but I sure don't little the new "bottle" format, the jar was so much more practical and easier to measure and use.
