Standard Process - Canine Renal Support - Kidney Health for Dogs - 110 Grams

my dog went to get her teeth cleaned and the vet called after doing preliminary blood work and said she had "kidney insufficiency" and should be put on prescription food... i read up on the prescription food and found that it was not nearly as good as the food i was already feeding her, and the cost was OUTRAGEOUS. I began looking for an alternative way to treat this... I already use Standard Process products for my own health and was glad to see that they provide options for pets. after using this product for 30 days (and NOT changing her food) i took the dog back to the vet for more blood work... the vet called and said her numbers were now perfect! So my dog still gets her high quality food with a scoop of this stuff on it twice a day. highly recommend.

It is easy to use. I sprinkle it into my dog's food and add a little bone broth. It must have a good flavor, or she wouldn't touch it. The main point is that it is keeping her kidneys healthy whereas before she was in renal failure.

I love how palatable this is to my dog. My American Pit Bull Terrier is turning 14 this July & in February his creatinine numbers came back indicating he was in the beginning stages of renal disease/failure. Since I've raw fed once daily starting when he was 8 years old, he doesn't have a typical meal in a bowl for me to pour this powder over twice a day. I was concerned about how he would take this supplement. I put it in a metal feeding bowl & he eagerly licked it up! He likes it so much in fact I can hide his other kidney supplement capsules & his 2 probiotic capsules in the powder and he eats it all! Because I haven't taken him back to the vet for bloodwork yet I can't definitively say it's helping, but he has yet to lose his appetite from the kidney-induced nausea so I'm hopeful I've slowed the progression of his disease/failure/condition. I also cannot definitively say which supplement is helping since I'm feeding more than one. I'm just glad there's products out there that seem to be as or more beneficial than the prescription kidney food that I now believe contributed to the early death of my beagle.

Standard Process is a great company with great products. The renal support is a great supplement as long as your dog is eating. I had to mix w/water & syringe it down his throat until he started eating again. Now I mix it in his food with no problem. A definite must for dogs in renal failure.

My 8 year old Yorkie was misdiagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease because her bloodwork (Bun values) was high. It always showed up high and I always had to do a urine sample the next day and that would show she was alright. Never trust inhouse bloodwork from your regular vet it is unreliable! Before starting any treatment get a specilist opinion, my dog did not have kidney disease But she must have weak kidneys for the bun values to be high in every blood test so I researched all products and this is the most highly recommend and used by Holistic vets. After on bottle her blood test were NORMAL! They have never been normal Will keep her on it for the rest of her life and start my others when they get older to support renal fuction. Ask your vet at what age you should start this kind of support.

it's hard to say how much this helped my dog, but I did notice that he was eating better and feeling better for about a year. I do think this product was the reason, but his issues were beyond cure. However, I believe it did help him live more comfortably, longer.I would recommend this product, but I would also encourage a review of other like products which may compare in ingredients and cost less. My vet specifically recommended this one, so I got it, but I would investigate other products if I needed the same type of medication again.It's a powder, so it's easy to put in dog's food.

This holiday season my 14 year old dog seemed to be declining, losing weight and acting lethargic. I have been to this rodeo before with other old animals and understand these are the signs of failing kidneys and that the end is approaching. I took my dog in and she did blood work and yes, his kidney function was decreasing. I purchased a prescription renal diet from the vet and this product. Began using this as soon as it arrived and lo and behold my dog is eating like a pig, gained some weight and acts like his old self. I took him back to the vet and his kidney function is almost normal now. It may be the combination of the food and this product but something is working!
