VetriScience Renal Essentials Pro - Balanced Kidney Supplement for Dogs & Cats - Feline & Canine Renal Wellness Support - Formula Supports Kidney Health Management for Pets - 60 Chews

My dog likes the flavor. The prior product I got were chewable pills and they were very hard to chew and sometimes my pup would turn his nose up to them. He likes these much better!

Dogs really enjoy these.

These were recommended by our vet for our paralyzed dachsie (now 14; and she’s such a happy pupper!), as a precaution a few years ago, as she did have a bladder infection. Our little girl LOVES them (I break one into three pieces and use it each day as a treat at the end of her exercises (a set of exercises takes about three minutes [add in four to five bladder expressions a day—squeezing to drain her bladder—and it all takes less than 15 minutes of care a day; sorry, but I had to put in a plug for the ease of caring for a paralyzed dachsie because she is such a joy to have in our family!]).The only downside to this VetriScience product is that it is so hard to find; I just nabbed the very last one available on Amazon. I have to admit they are pricey, but they are effective.

Not what is advertised. Not chicken liver flavor, but straight up chicken. Huge bone-shaped chews, not the small triangles shown. Yes, you can break them up, but for this much money, the only reason you have to is because the package is also for dogs. My cat like the chew at first but trying to get it down hurt his mouth & now he's avoiding them. When your pet has CKD, it's a struggle to find food they'll eat, to keep them hydrated (hydracare helps but that is now a syringe-administered item), and it's deeply disappointing and discouraging to try such a highly rated product from a reputable company and feel once more that nothing is effective if you can't get your pet to eat it.

We've given our dog these Renal Chews for a few years. She likes them and they seem to be helping keep her kidney disease stable. However, this batch is dry, hard and crumbly - in other words, old and stale. I'm concerned that the active ingredients are no longer viable. They are available from other web sites. I won't order them from Amazon again.

I really do believe the ingredients helped my dogs kidney levels improve. HOWEVER, I am really disappointed by the amount of potassium in each chew. Having a dog with renal insufficiency, I avoid extra potassium in his diet to keep his levels within normal range. I had to switch to something else.

Have used this in conjunction with a kidney diet and my dog is doing well.

There is another renal support product that is cheaper but my dogs HATE it! They like these and will eat them right out of the bag. One thing though is put a small slice of bread in the bag as if not by the time you get half way through them they will be hard as a brick and my dogs won't like them. Add a slice of bread and they stay soft and yummy!
