Renal K+

Renal K+ Gel is an oral potassium supplement for cats and dogs that helps manage low potassium levels and supports kidney and muscle function.

Renal K+ Gel is primarily used to treat hypokalemia, a condition where potassium levels in the blood are too low, which is common in pets with chronic kidney disease . Potassium is essential for normal muscle function, nerve signaling, and kidney health, and a deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and impaired renal function
The gel contains potassium gluconate as the main active ingredient, along with B-complex vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, pyridoxine, folic acid, biotin, and calcium pantothenate These vitamins help regulate potassium levels and support overall metabolic and nervous system health.
Renal K+ Gel is administered orally, typically at a dose of 1/2 teaspoon per 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of body weight, twice daily, though the exact dosage should be guided by a veterinarian  The gel is highly palatable, making it easier to give to pets, and can be placed on the pet’s nose or paws to encourage ingestion
Precautions include avoiding use in pets with acute, oliguric, anuric, or very advanced renal failure, or in conditions where high potassium levels may occur, such as adrenal insufficiency, dehydration, or urethral obstruction  Overdose can cause serious side effects like muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, heart rhythm disturbances, or paralysis, so veterinary guidance is essential
In summary, Renal K+ Gel helps restore potassium levels, supports kidney function, and maintains normal muscle and nervous system activity in cats and dogs with potassium deficiencies, often as part of a broader renal support regimen
