VetExpert RENALVET Phosphate Binder – for Dogs and Cats (60 Twist-Off Capsules)

Support proper renal function in Dogs and Cats with RenalVet, a premium twist-off capsule formula designed to help reduce dietary phosphorus absorption and support animals with impaired kidney function. Each easy-to-administer capsule contains a targeted combination of calcium carbonate, chitosan (from shellfish), and active vitamin D₃ in an oil base — a practical, palatable supplement to use alongside veterinary care.

Why You’ll Love It

• Phosphate binder & kidney support — Contains calcium carbonate and chitosan to help bind dietary phosphate in the gut, lowering phosphate absorption — a key step in supporting chronic renal disease management.

• Includes active vitamin D₃ — Provides a measured amount of vitamin D₃ to help address the common insufficiency seen in kidney disease, while promoting overall metabolic balance.

• Palatable, easy to give — Twist off the capsule and mix the contents with food or administer directly; useful for fussy eaters or animals with reduced appetite. Designed for daily use and palatability

• Designed for long-term support — Formulated specifically for dogs and cats with renal concerns and to be administered with meals as part of a clinical management plan.

Ingredients

• Active / key components per capsule: Calcium carbonate (typical ~200 mg), Chitosan from Chionoecetes opilio (shellfish meal, ~100 mg), Vitamin D₃ (approx. 80 IU / 0.08 mg).

• Vehicle & excipients: Refined soybean oil, crude lecithins (soy), beeswax and capsule material.

How It Works

RenalVet works by reducing the amount of dietary phosphorus that the body absorbs. Excess phosphorus accelerates progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to secondary problems such as renal mineral disorders. The product uses two complementary mechanisms:

1. Mineral binding — Calcium carbonate acts as a phosphate binder in the gut, forming insoluble complexes with dietary phosphate so less is absorbed.

2. Polymeric adsorption — Chitosan (a natural polysaccharide extracted from shellfish) has adsorptive properties that can help sequester phosphate and other waste molecules in the digestive tract, aiding elimination.

Together these reduce phosphate burden on the kidneys, which may slow disease progression when used as part of a veterinary-recommended renal plan. The included vitamin D₃ supports calcium-phosphate balance and addresses common insufficiencies seen in renal patients — but because vitamin D and calcium affect mineral metabolism, dosing and monitoring must be overseen by a vet.

Feeding Guide

• Cats and small dogs (up to 10 kg): 1 capsule daily (twist off and mix with food or give directly).

• Dogs over 10 kg: 1 capsule per 10 kg body weight daily (administer with a meal).

• Notes: Administer with food for optimal phosphate-binding effect. Ensure constant access to fresh water. Do not exceed manufacturer guidance for proportion of daily ration due to vitamin D content (product guidance states it can be given as part of up to 2.5% of the daily ration).

Perfect For

• Pets diagnosed with early to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) as part of a vet-supervised plan.

• Animals that need dietary phosphate control but are reluctant eaters (palatable capsule contents).

• Owners seeking a convenient, premium supplement to complement veterinary renal management.

Can it be used in advanced renal disease?

RenalVet is formulated specifically for use in animals with chronic renal failure and many product descriptions and sellers position it as supportive in CKD. However:

• Always consult your vet first. In advanced CKD, phosphate, calcium and vitamin D metabolism are delicate — adding calcium carbonate and vitamin D₃ may be helpful but also carries a risk of hypercalcaemia if not monitored. Your vet will advise whether RenalVet is appropriate, how to combine it with dietary changes and prescription renal diets, and which blood tests (phosphate, calcium, PTH, vitamin D status) are required.

Pet Parent Review

“Our tabby had rising phosphate levels and poor appetite, since adding RenalVet with our vet’s guidance she’s been eating better and her bloodwork has stabilised. Easy to give and she loves it mixed into wet food.” — Alan P.

Important Notice

• Not a replacement for veterinary care. RenalVet is a supportive supplement, not a cure. Always use under veterinary supervision, especially with diagnosed CKD, animals on multiple medications, or those with endocrine or mineral imbalances. Your vet may recommend regular checks

• Shellfish allergy warning. Chitosan is derived from shellfish — avoid if the animal has a known crustacean allergy or check with your vet first.

• Pregnancy & nursing: Consult your vet before use.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children and pets.
