Product Description
VETOQUINOL EPAKITIN PHOSPHATE BINDER FOR CATS & DOGS – RENAL SUPPORT SUPPLEMENT POWDER
Vetoquinol Epakitin is a specially-formulated phosphate binder that naturally supports normal kidney function and health in dogs and cats.
Our renal support dietary supplement contains high-quality
chitosan
– a natural polysaccharide derived from shrimp and crab shells – as well as
calcium carbonate, lactose and hydrolyzed soy protein
. Epakitin is a powder-based supplement that is great-tasting and easy to administer, especially when sprinkled over dry food or mixed with a small about of canned food.
Although renal diets can be effective in controlling phosphorus levels, they are often not enough to maintain adequate phosphate ranges.
Epakitin is a phosphorus binder nutritional supplement that works to prevent your pet’s body from absorbing phosphorus from the food they eat
. Our oral powder works to
bind phosphates before they enter the blood
and then
transports them through the digestive tract
where they are
eliminated in the stool
. When used in conjunction with renal diets, Epakitin phosphate binder may help to
decrease serum phosphorus levels, as well as urea and creatinine levels
, all in an
aluminum hydroxide-free formula
.

Epakitin Encourages Phosphate Elimination
Renal diets are a great start but, in some cases, may not be enough.
Epakitin
is an oral powder nutritional supplement that
works to help prevent your pet’s body from absorbing phosphorus from the food they eat.
When used in conjunction with renal diets, our phosphate binder may help to decrease serum phosphorus levels, as well as urea and creatinine levels.
Binds phosphates before they enter the blood
Carries phosphates through the digestive tract
Phosphates are eliminated in the stool
Support Your Pet’s Ideal Kidney Function!
Ideal for Dogs and Cats
As our pets age, kidney issues frequently develop and can be a leading cause of death
if left untreated. Kidney issues are often exacerbated by phosphorus (phosphates) found in many common dog and cat foods. Vetoquinol Epakitin works to bind phosphates before they enter the blood and need to be filtered by your pet’s kidneys.
Used with Other Products
Renal diets are often effective in controlling phosphorus levels, but they
are typically not enough to maintain consistent ranges. Epakitin can be used with other renal support supplements and diets
, and works to prevent your pet’s body from absorbing phosphorus by binding it together, transporting it through the digestive tract and intestines until it they are eliminated in your pet’s stool.
Add to Wet or Dry Food
Epakitin comes in a highly palatable oral powder
that
can easily be administered
by sprinkling over dry food or mixing with a small amount of canned food. Be sure to allow your pet to have access to water at all times during supplementation, as a natural, balanced diet and plenty of water are important for renal care.
