Ipakitine Renal Support – Phosphate Binder for Dogs & Cats (60g Pot)

Support your dog or cat’s kidney health with Ipakitine Renal Function Support Powder 60g, a specialised complementary feeding supplement from Vetoquinol, designed to support dogs and cats with chronic renal insufficiency and help manage dietary phosphorus intake.

Ipakitine combines Calcium Carbonate and Chitosan, two functional ingredients that work within the digestive tract to help reduce the absorption of dietary phosphates and certain waste products.

Phosphorus management is an important part of nutritional support for pets with chronic kidney disease. Ipakitine can be used alongside a veterinary renal diet to provide additional phosphate-binding support, or alongside regular food when a pet struggles to accept a low-phosphorus diet.

The fine, easy-to-mix powder is designed to be incorporated directly into food, making daily administration simple and practical.

Why You’ll Love It

Supports Healthy Kidney Function

Dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease can have difficulty maintaining normal mineral and waste-product balance.

Ipakitine provides nutritional support by helping reduce the intestinal absorption of dietary phosphate and certain waste products, helping reduce the nutritional burden associated with impaired kidney function.

It is particularly useful as part of a wider renal-support programme recommended by your veterinary professional.

Helps Reduce Dietary Phosphate Absorption

Phosphorus management is a key consideration in nutritional support for pets with chronic kidney disease.

Calcium Carbonate acts as a phosphate-binding ingredient, helping bind dietary phosphates within the digestive tract and reducing their absorption.

This makes Ipakitine particularly suitable for use alongside a low-phosphorus renal diet, where additional phosphate-binding support may be recommended by a veterinarian.

Dual-Action Renal Support

Ipakitine provides support through two complementary mechanisms.

Calcium Carbonate helps bind dietary phosphorus, while Chitosan can bind certain waste products within the digestive tract, helping reduce their absorption.

This dual-action approach provides nutritional support for pets whose kidneys are no longer functioning normally.

Ideal for Dogs and Cats with Chronic Renal Insufficiency

Ipakitine has been specifically developed for both dogs and cats requiring renal nutritional support.

It can be incorporated into a long-term management plan for pets with chronic kidney disease, alongside appropriate veterinary care, dietary management and regular monitoring.

The product may be particularly helpful when additional phosphate control is required as part of the pet’s nutritional programme.

Easy to Mix with Everyday Food

Ipakitine is supplied as a fine powder that can be mixed directly into food.

It can be added to:

• Wet food
• Dry food
• Moistened dry food
• Veterinary renal diets
• Regular food when a low-phosphorus diet is difficult for the pet to accept

The powder format makes it easy to incorporate into an existing feeding routine without requiring a separate feeding schedule.

Suitable for Long-Term Renal Support

Kidney disease often requires ongoing nutritional management rather than short-term supplementation.

Ipakitine can initially be used for up to 6 months, with veterinary review recommended before extending the period of use. Administration may continue long-term where recommended by the attending veterinarian.

Regular veterinary monitoring is particularly important because phosphorus levels and overall kidney function can change over time.

Functional Ingredients with Real Purpose

Calcium Carbonate – Phosphate Binding Support

Calcium Carbonate is a mineral compound with phosphate-binding properties.

When administered with food, it helps bind dietary phosphate within the digestive tract, reducing the amount available for absorption.

This makes it particularly valuable when supporting phosphorus restriction in dogs and cats with compromised kidney function.

Chitosan – Waste Product Binding Support

Chitosan is a functional polysaccharide that works within the digestive tract.

It can bind certain waste products and metabolites, helping reduce their absorption and providing additional nutritional support for animals with impaired renal function.

Together with Calcium Carbonate, Chitosan gives Ipakitine its distinctive dual-action renal support approach.

Lactose – Formulation Ingredient

Lactose is used as part of the Ipakitine formulation, helping provide the powder base in which the functional ingredients are delivered.

The resulting powder is designed to be mixed easily with food for convenient daily administration.

How It Works

After being mixed with food, Ipakitine works within the digestive tract.

Calcium Carbonate binds dietary phosphate, helping reduce its absorption, while Chitosan binds certain waste products, helping reduce their absorption from the digestive tract.

This nutritional approach can complement a veterinary renal diet, particularly where phosphorus restriction is an important part of the pet’s management plan.

Ipakitine does not replace veterinary treatment or a prescribed renal diet. Instead, it is designed to provide additional nutritional support as part of a comprehensive kidney-care programme.

How to Use

Mix Ipakitine directly into your dog or cat’s food.

Recommended dosage:

1 g (1 level scoop) per 5 kg body weight, twice daily.

The daily amount should be divided between the morning and evening meals.

Daily Dosage Guide

• 3–5 kg: 2 scoops per day
• 10 kg: 4 scoops per day
• 15 kg: 6 scoops per day
• 20 kg: 8 scoops per day

One level measuring scoop contains approximately 1 g of powder.

For pets eating several smaller meals throughout the day, the recommended daily amount can be divided between meals.

Ipakitine can be mixed with wet food or added to dry food that has been moistened.

How Long Should Ipakitine Be Used?

The recommended initial period of use is up to 6 months.

A veterinary check-up is recommended approximately every 6 months, and veterinary advice should be sought before extending the period of use. In some pets, ongoing or lifelong administration may be appropriate depending on their individual renal condition and veterinary recommendations.

Because kidney disease is a chronic condition, regular monitoring of kidney function and blood phosphorus levels is important when managing a pet with renal insufficiency.

Use Alongside a Renal Diet

For pets with impaired kidney function, a low-phosphorus veterinary renal diet is commonly recommended.

Ipakitine can be used alongside a renal diet to provide additional phosphate-binding support.

If your dog or cat refuses a prescribed low-phosphorus diet, Ipakitine may also be administered with regular food, according to veterinary advice.

This makes it a useful option for cats and dogs that are particularly selective with food or have difficulty accepting dietary changes.

Fresh Water Should Always Be Available

Make sure your dog or cat has free access to fresh drinking water at all times while using Ipakitine.

Maintaining good access to water is especially important when supporting pets with kidney disease.

60g Tub – How Long Does It Last?

The 60g tub provides approximately one month of supplementation for a 5kg pet when administered at the recommended dosage.

Larger or heavier animals will use the product more quickly, depending on their individual daily dose.

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep the container securely closed
• Protect from moisture and excessive heat
• Keep out of reach of children
• Ensure fresh drinking water is always available

Important Veterinary Advice

Consult your veterinarian before starting Ipakitine, particularly if your pet is receiving medication, following a prescribed renal diet, or has an advanced or unstable kidney condition.

Do not change or discontinue prescribed veterinary treatment without professional advice.

What Pet Owners Say

“I wanted something practical that I could add to my dog’s food as part of his kidney-support routine. The powder is easy to mix into meals and makes daily administration much simpler.” Tony U.

Veterinary Check-Up Recommended

For pets with chronic kidney disease, supplements should never replace regular veterinary assessment.

We recommend visiting your veterinarian regularly to monitor kidney function and blood phosphorus levels and to make sure your pet’s renal diet and supplementation remain appropriate for their individual needs.
