Pet Wellbeing Kidney Support Gold for Cats – 2 oz

I rarely write a review, but I HAD to because this product is amazing. My cat Mango was diagnosed with stage 2 CKD and was really not doing well. I wrote to my vet and asked if I could try this supplement, and since they aren’t familiar with it, they said they couldn’t recommend it. After a couple of scary weeks (Mango refusing to eat and being lethargic) I decided to give this a shot. And WOW. What a difference! I also switched the food she eats, as she was refusing to eat the Rx cat food. The vet tech told me it’s more important for her to eat. So I found low phosphorus and protein food. The combination of that and these drops has made a world of difference! Mango has a real appetite again, is playful, curious, happy and purring!!! Makes me so happy :). I went for blood tests 3 months after diagnosis, and her creatinine levels actually improved by 5 points!! Which is amazing, they thought she might have progressed to stage 3 by then (she also has hyperthyroidism, which makes CKD progress faster). The vet told me “whatever you’re doing, it’s really working, keep it up”. So I thought I would write this review for anyone else who may be hesitating.

One of my senior cats (18 yrs) tested on the border line of having stage 1 kidney disease. He does not have it yet–but almost. He is also extremely fat, diabetic, and arthritic despite our extremely diligent efforts to encourage movement and dietary control. Kidney health wasn’t even on our radar until we lost our 23 year old female in May to kidney failure. It came on fast in combination with cancer. Had I known about this product sooner, I would have had her on Kidney support gold long ago. I miss her terribly, but she did have a very good and long life over flowing with love. We take animal care seriously and she got excellent care but it was her time. When we lost her we were so upset we had all our pets in for blood work to see where their kidney health was as well as looking for various other conditions and now we will test them once to twice a year to track health in addition to the usual vet visits they get in plethora. When I heard we had a cat near stage one in his blood levels, I immediately started looking for preventative solutions in addition to putting him on a renal diet. I stumbled on Kidney Support Gold and the many positive reviews. I then printed out the ingredient list and took it to my vet to look at to be sure it was safe for diabetes and arthritis and she said it was fine to give a try. So I did. I started carefully. I only gave my cat a few drops once a day along with his zobaline and cosequin (daily supplements I give him anyway). And then I waited and watched closely for any reaction. He responded normally and even his blood sugar was good. As days passed I gradually stepped up the dosage until I had enough for his full weight. I am pleased to report that he has drastically improved in his personality, mobility, his coat is even more smooth and shines way more. His eyes are bright. His blood sugar is STABLE despite being on the renal diet that isn’t so great for diabetic cats (he still gets insulin every day mind you) and his urine output is that of a normal cat now when it was a bit on the hefty side but not dangerously so. I am looking forward to following up on his blood work to see if his kidney function has good numbers or hopefully stayed the same at the very least. I have been giving him zobaline and cosequin for over a year but the real improvement to his mobility and being more alert and more himself came when I added in the renal diet and the kidney support gold. Thank you, Pet Wellbeing for making this tincture be a useful tool in our arsenal to ensure aging goes better for my pets. I intend on putting all of my babies on it as they become seniors for great preventative purposes. I am so relieved there was an option for us that gives us hope and that our boy has responded so well with despite being elderly and diabetic.
***UPDATE: Here we are in November of 2018 and my cat on this product felt lighter and wasn’t eating as much. I panicked because I was sure we had reached the tipping point on him entering kidney disease because weight loss and loss of appetite are symptoms. Our vet agreed it was concerning because he had lost weight so she ran the blood work on him again. It was a hard 24 hours of waiting for results but my concern was not necessary. His kidney function numbers had reversed. He is now solidly within middle range and no longer at the very cut off for starting kidney disease. She also ran an A1C test on him because having a cat on the kidney diet food is not really great for diabetics but his A1C was that of a young healthy cat without diabetes. His body is regulating itself thanks to this tincture, the K/D diet (and royal canin’s as well–I switch around to keep him interested), cosequin, zobaline, and I just recently (but after the blood work was done) added in Nordic Naturals fish oil which has increased his mobility even more. He is getting stronger and is full of spirit and trickery. I am deeply pleased and thankful. Giving him a more comfortable senior time is what I want for him. I never want to see renal failure in this house again and I will do every safe and effective preventative measure there is to spare my pets being struck down with it. Thank you, Pet Wellbeing.

Grazie a questo prodotto i valori renali della mia gatta sono migliorati! L’azotemia è tornata a livelli normali e la creatinina è scesa da 3.3 a 2.3 – nonostante sia amaro, riesco a mischiarglielo nel cibo e lei lo mangia senza problemi. E’ aumentato l’appetito, il pelo è tornato lucido e morbido. Sta davvero aiutando la mia gatta a sentirsi meglio!

I use this in my senior cat’s food to help maintain her kidneys. She doesn’t notice the smell and eats it when mixed in with food.
