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.
Vetoquinol is a proud member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), one of only a hundred animal supplement companies (out of thousands) to be so. To display the NASC Quality Seal on our products, we undergo regular and rigorous audits to ensure we’re manufacturing only the highest-quality nutritional supplements for your pets. We’re as passionate about your pet’s health as you are!

Ideal for Dogs and CatsAs 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 ProductsRenal 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 FoodEpakitin 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. |
