Vetoquinol Epakitin Supplement for Dogs and Cats (60g or 180g Powder)

Epakitin

for dogs and cats is a nutritional supplement designed to help slow down the progress of chronic kidney disease. 

Epakitin comes in powder form and supports kidney function safely and effectively. Just mixed it in your pet's food to support safely and effectively support kidney function.

For even better results, we recommend using Epakitin in combination with PET | TAO Kidney Treats for dogs and cats

Chitosan, the active ingredient in Epakitin, is a natural polysaccharide derived from shells of shrimp and crab.

Chitosan naturally binds phosphorus. Binding the phosphorus, in turn, limits the absorption of phosphorus from the intestines. 

And, that limitation helps pets with chronic kidney disease by slowing down the damage caused by the disease.

In addition, decreasing serum phosphorus levels and has been shown to reduce urea and creatinine levels.

Supplementation can be lifelong, and there are no reported side effects.

    QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

    Ask a Question
    • For a 22lb dog with Adrenal Cushing’s - How many teaspoons in a serving? And how many servings in a bottle?

      Thank you for your email!

      For a 22lbs dog, you should get 2g twice daily (4g total per day). The spoon that comes in the 60g and 180g supplements is a 1g scoop. We recommend using the scoop that comes in the jar for the most accurate dosing. For 4 grams a day, the 60g jar would last 15 days while the 180g jar would last 45 days.

      Thank you for your question! There are no known interactions between Epakitin and pharmaceuticals.
