VETRISCIENCE Renal Essentials Kidney Health and Function Support for Dogs, 60 Chewable Tablets - Easy to Give, Supports Kidney and Liver Function in Dogs

The pills are large but my dog likes the taste (and if your dog us picky put peanut butter on them they should take it fine) They work really well, My vet says my dogs kidneys and blood levels are so good now that we can change getting blood work done every 6 months to once a year now I’ll definitely buy them again

My two year old American Bully rescue was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Even After following the vets orders and taking three prescriptions a day my sweet dogs health was deteriorating quicky. I did some research of my own and discoverd what a big role diet and vitamins/minerals could play in her overall well being. I immediately changed her diet- all home cooked, and added both the cardiac and renal health supplements. It's nothing short of a miracle how much better my pup is doing! She has energy, her eyes are bright and she's happy. The renal one does smell terrible but I wrap it in some turkey and my dog doesn't notice. Also compared to all the other medicines and vet recommend supplements these are affordable, which is huge!! These supplements are a permanent addition to her regiment.

The pills in this bottle are ridiculously, absurdly huge. They are called "chewable," but don't believe it. I have occasionally bought various companies' "chewable" pills for the dogs I've had over many years, and I have never yet had any dog ever actually chew or eat a so-called "chewable" pill. These pills in particular are the absolutely largest "chewable" pills I have ever seen. They are gigantic. Even if broken up into quarters, the quarters are still too large to give to a dog like a normal pill. The ONLY way I can give my dog the 1-1/2 Vetriscience Renal Essentials pills she is supposed to take is to use a pill splitter and divide 1 pill into 8 pieces. So for her to take 1-1/2 pills, I have to give her 12 SEPARATE pills (each of them being 1/8 of a tablet). It is ridiculous! It's stressful for her and a pain for both of us. So I then tried griding up these enormous pills in a mortar and pestle. They grind easily into a fine powder, but the powder stinks and when I mix it with my dog's favorite treats (like beef or chicken baby food puree), my dog absolutely refuses to touch it. I don't blame her, as it smells terrible. Here's a note to this company: Please put your products into a manageable size of CAPSULE or PILL (that is NON CHEWABLE) so that dog owners can simply administer a normal pill to their dogs. I've never had a dog I couldn't give a pill to. Dogs are good pill takers! But when it comes to "chewable" pills, they are a hoax -- they just do not work. And these pills in particular are absurdly large and smell so bad. It's no wonder my dog refuses to have anything to do with them.

Holy crap these pills are huge. How am I supposed to get my dog to eat this? It's too big to disguise within anything. What an absolute ripoff. These are useless to me. And they aren't chewable, there is nothing about their flavor, or smell that would make your dog want to eat these. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has to be a better made brand, that are smaller and easier to give to your dog.

Honey won’t eat the tablets on their own, so we crush them into a powder and mix them into her food, that works perfectly. She’s had no bad side effects, and her energy, appetite, and overall health have stayed great. Our little Honey was born with Chronic Kidney Disease. When we first found out, she was Stage 2 of 4, but with care and the vet’s guidance, she’s now Stage 1! Her vet recommended Renal Essentials to help provide extra nutrition alongside her prescription diet, since she’s still a growing puppy. Highly recommend for anyone managing a young dog’s kidney condition with their vet’s support!
