Product Information

Suitable for all breeds of dogs and cats. It supports renal function safely and effectively. Safe use in pregnant female dogs and cats or breeding animals has not been proven. Always follow the recommendations of your vet. Ipakitine contains an enriched formula that helps improve kidney function. Ipakitine is made from two key elements that will help alleviate additional work done by the kidneys: Ipakitine is a therapeutic nutritional supplement that supports renal function in the case of chronic renal failure in dogs and cats. It’s a complete and optimized combination of Chitosan and Calcium carbonate. These substances play a role in binding phosphate and therefore assist in controlling hyperphosphatemia (high levels of phosphate in the blood). Studies have shown the benefits of phosphate reduction in dogs and cats suffering from kidney failure. It’s now widely accepted that there’s a direct link between the length and quality of life of a dog or cat with kidney insufficiency and the phosphate levels they get through their food. As such, Ipakitine acts to reduce phosphorus blood concentration and uremia, resulting in an increase in life expectancy. Ipakitine key benefits:

The prescription diets for this purpose work in one way by keeping the urine pH as neutral as possible. We know that some mineral grit and bladder stones form in alkaline/basic pH while others form in acidic pH. The prescription diets are the only ones guaranteed to be formulated to do this. Some variations are also formulated to help with weight loss and stress. In humans, nausea and constipation have been reported side effects when using a calcium carbonate product. However, in pets, no side effects of this kind have been reported. Epakitin is generally very well tolerated. Sodium. Dietary sodium levels are mildly restricted to reduce the workload on the kidneys. This in turn helps to maintain a reasonable blood pressure.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is diagnosed in a similar way to humans; by measuring with an inflatable cuff around the dog’s foreleg or tail. The cuff is inflated to measure the blood flow through an artery and the reading is presented on the screen for the vet to read.My 10-year-old dog was just diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, and I was told she needs to eat special food.
