Pet Wellbeing Kidney Support Gold for Cats - Supports Healthy Kidney Function, Fluid Balance, Energy Levels, Rehmannia, Dong Quai - Veterinarian-Formulated Herbal Supplement (2 fl oz (59 ml))

Our 10 year old Cat Oscar was diagnosed with CKD and Hyperthyroid in late October /22.He had shown signs of illness, weight loss and excessive drinking water and we knew something wasn't right with him. We were very concerned about his health and took him to the Vet for a checkup. The blood work showed very high levels Creatine, Bun, Urea, Hypothyroid etc. The Vet wanted to put him down that same day. She claimed he was untreatable and had stage 4 CKD and In combination with hyperthyroid there was nothing that could to be done for him.We had no idea he even had these illnesses, despite regular yearly Vet checkups, blood work has always been good. Needless to say we were devastated by these news.I told the Vet I wanted a second opinion, as I could not accept that he would be put to sleep without offering us other solutions or finding alternative treatments.I started researching all about CKD+ hyperthyroid illnesses. It turns out that it is very common in older cats to have both illnesses at the same time. We were determined to save our beloved cat.We started him on a strict wet food-renal diet only, (no more kibble) with extra fluids in the food and mixed in with Epakitine - phosphate binder+ supplements like Omega 3 krill, probiotics, beef liver powder for his anemia. Zink on a daily basis.We also got a Second Opinion and changed our Vet. We found a great clinic where they actually wanted to help us to find a solution to Oscars illnesses and save his life. ( 01-12-23)The new Vet did blood work on Oscar and this time it showed the Creatine, Bun and Urea had come down a lot, but I knew in order for his health/ kidney function to improve even more he needed Kidney Support Gold. ( had already read all about the product)Since 14 Feb/23 he has now been on Kidney Gold, 4 drops morning + night in his renal wet food. He showed improvement in appetite and had more energy within days. He comes out for daily walks in the forest with us and is looking very well now. He sleeps through the night now, and the night howling has stopped completely. The excessive drinking has also stopped.His latest blood test at the Vet was last week. 03-07-23The lab work had improved so much in a short period of time.Urea: 20. Down from 28.3.Creatine: 141. Down from 180.Phos: 1.53. Down from 3.6Bun: 35. Down from 44.He is doing so well on these drops!It was vital for us to get his kidney levels down as he would otherwise not be a candidate for the Radio Iodine Treatment he is getting next month. But, the Vet approved him for the treatment thanks to his improved Kidney levels. We are extremely happy for these amazing results. We know he will have to take Kidney Gold and Epakitin for the rest of his life to control his kidney disease, but he likes the taste of the drops, they are easy to give in his food and they work wonders! Were so happy to have found a natural solution!I highly recommend Kidney Support Gold. Pet Wellbeing is an excellent company. Thank you so much!

I’ve been using this brand for a long time on many cats and never had a problem, despite some really terrible reviews. Just like with humans, some herbs simply won’t work or could even have some bad side effects. There are other herbal brands out there that I’ve used but they take too long to ship because they’re not on Amazon (Amazon has a lot of competitor fake reviews or reviews from people who don’t even read the directions first). I’d say when using herbs in general, they can have a detoxifying effect and that can be harder on some than others. I’ve had cats die on me from side effects from vet prescribed drugs that were apparently “safe”. If you want to be really safe using any herbs then make sure your animal is getting plenty of filtered water (even if you have to syringe it into their mouth a few times a day), make sure they are not eating fish products or raw food, that they are eating quality food and an extra vitamin mineral and probiotic, and make sure they are getting some pumpkin and fiber in their food (I use a pinch of flaxseed meal). That will help the toxins flush out rather than get released into the bloodstream and not have a clean exit, which can cause death. The same goes for humans- you can get very sick releasing toxins and not having enough water and fiber to actually help them leave your body. Start with a low dosage and work up. And be prepared it won’t work. Your animal could be too far along. Hope this helps. I’ve always used herbs with my animals and they’ve always worked for the most part. I’ve never cured cancer with them but others have so there are just a lot of variables to consider.

I have used a lot of these products for the fact they're natural. But they got a little bit too high so I've been looking for other alternatives but they actually do work

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.
