NEPHRODYL Synbiotic Capsules for Cats & Dogs, Kidney Support, 60ct | Renal health supplement with probiotics & prebiotics for Digestive Health, small & easy to swallow capsules, made in The USA

Mi perrita chihuahua tiene aproximadamente dieciocho años tiene heart disease pero es una perrita muy alegre. Hace dos semanas dejo de comer y una noche se levanto a beber agua ( esta en el baño) y también hizo pipi y ya no pudo levantarse yo estaba bien dormida y algo me hizo despertar y no la vi en su cama, me dirigì al baño estaba tirada en cuatro patas en medio de la pipi, la levante la limpie y la puse en la cama de regreso, allí me di cuenta que algo estaba pasando con ella. Para que no se deshidratara empecé a darle agua de coco (natural) con jeringa, la lleve al veterinario y le hicieron un examen de sangre y arrojo que tenía daño renal, el doctor sugirio dormirla, yo decidi no hacerlo y regresamos a casa, le daba te para el rinon y el higado también con jeringa, le daba caldo de pollo desgrasado, ella bebia por lo menos dos cucharadas. Empecé a buscar medicamento en google para daño renal para perros y di con Vibrac, los dos primeros dias vaciaba la capsula en caldo de pollo ( dos cucharadas) en el segundo dia de administrarle esta capsula mi perrita, por cierto se llama Estrella empezó a comer, le dabamos pedacitos de roast beef y ella los comia muy bien, a este dia ella ya come res, esta respondiendo muy bien a este medicamento, estamos muy felices de no seguir el consejo del veterinario de ponerla a dormir! Lo recomendamos!!!

My dog has early stage kidney disease. I keep her well hydrated by adding water to her wet kidney food. My vet recommended a probiotic so I did some research and this company makes other products that vet practices use. I add the tiny capsule (whole) to her food which she gobbles and the capsule is always gone. She tolerates it well. Easy peasy. Hopefully her numbers stay down.

I was a little overwhelmed when I found out my dog had kidney disease. A lot of prescriptions were given to me, one of which was for Nephrodyl. After doing some research and giving it to my dog, I started to see a change for the better. His eating got better and there is no odor to the medication. I leave it in the refrigerator, which is recommended, and give it to him with sliced turkey since it is an easy to chew small caplet. It has regulated him and he seems more relaxed.

Seems to work. Dog appears to have more energy.

This was prescribed by our vet, we were happy to find it on Amazon. Our 14 year old shar pei border collie cross has failing kidneys. This supplement has given us more time, allowing his stomach to do some of the work for his failing kidneys.

While my 14-year-old cat doesn’t have CKD yet (he does have end-stage HCM), his last blood test results showed that he’s borderline, so I’ve been managing his phosphorous intake in his food, much to his dismay. I’ve been giving him an aluminum hydroxide-based supplement, but, of course, I wanted to see if there’s a better alternative. Enter Virbac’s Nephrodyl Synbiotic capsules. The price is considerably more expensive than the other supplement I’ve been buying, and because my cat toggles between 10 to 11 pounds, he’s borderline on the dosage chart for either giving him 1 or 2 capsules per day. I chose the former so I can stretch the 60-pill bottle to a two months’ supply, otherwise the price would be even more out of my budget’s reach. I wish I read through the directions before getting the product, because the capsule must be administered whole, not opened or crushed. It doesn’t say with or without food, but I give it to my cat right before his meal. Because he has severe heart issues, he’s on a lot of meds and supplements, so having to give him another whole pill — and the ordeal/fuss behind it — is more stressful than beneficial. Also, he's become averse to hiding pills in his food or pill pockets. I also haven't seen any sort of difference or improvement since giving him these kidney support supplements over another brand.

Easy to use and seem to be working as described. Our vet is pleased with the benefits it has on our dog. We feel the price is reasonable for the benefit.

I haven’t given my dog enough doses to truly tell if this is making a difference but I can tell you that the past 2 nights he has slept through the night without incidents & has not been begging to go out several times through the night like usual. I’ve heard among pet parents that this is a great product but often hard to find as sold out or on back order on pet sites. Grateful that I found it here and hopeful that it will help my sweet boy He took it easy in a tiny piece of ham. It’s a tiny capsule that you need to keep refrigerated for maximum effectiveness. Bigger dogs like my sweet boy will take 1 in the morning and 1 at night The capsules are kind of pricey but most things that will help are so if it does, then I consider it worth it. Will order again if I see continued improvement. Also for those that will be seeking country of origin.. these are made in the United States I would order as soon as you know you need them as takes a bit to arrive.
