RenaKare Potassium Supplement for Dogs and Cats

Hypokalemia can cause muscle weakness, lethargy, and other health concerns in pets, especially those with chronic kidney disease.

Available in tablet, gel, and powder forms, RenaKare ensures easy administration tailored to your pet’s preferences and needs, offering a convenient solution for maintaining optimal potassium levels.

Prescription items are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-RETURNABLE.

FAQs - RenaKare (Potassium Gluconate) Powder 

What is RenaKare used for?

RenaKare is used to manage hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in dogs and cats. It helps restore potassium balance, improving symptoms like muscle weakness, lethargy, and poor appetite. It is particularly beneficial for pets with chronic kidney disease or conditions causing potassium depletion.

Can RenaKare be used for cats with chronic kidney disease?

Yes, RenaKare is commonly prescribed for cats with chronic kidney disease to combat potassium loss, a frequent complication. It helps maintain proper muscle and nerve function while supporting overall energy levels. Always consult your veterinarian before use.

Is RenaKare safe for long-term use?

RenaKare can be used long-term under veterinary supervision to treat chronic conditions requiring potassium supplementation. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor potassium levels and prevent hyperkalemia, which could lead to adverse health effects.

How does potassium benefit pets with kidney issues?

Potassium supports muscle strength, nerve signaling, and acid-base balance, all of which can be disrupted by kidney issues. RenaKare replenishes potassium, helping pets maintain energy levels and reducing symptoms like weakness or irregular heart rhythms.

What forms does RenaKare come in, and which is best?

RenaKare is available as tablets, gel, and powder. The best form depends on your pet's preferences and ease of administration. Tablets can be given directly or crushed into food, while gels and powders are great for mixing into meals.

Can RenaKare be given to puppies or kittens?

RenaKare may be prescribed for puppies or kittens if they are diagnosed with hypokalemia. However, dosage should be carefully determined by a veterinarian to ensure safety and effectiveness for younger animals.

What happens if I miss a dose of RenaKare?

If you miss a dose of RenaKare, administer it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to avoid excessive potassium intake.

Can RenaKare be used alongside other medications?

RenaKare can often be used with other medications, but interactions may occur, especially with diuretics or heart medications. Always inform your veterinarian of any other drugs or supplements your pet is taking to avoid potential complications.

How do I know if my pet is experiencing hyperkalemia?

Symptoms of hyperkalemia include muscle stiffness, irregular heartbeat, nausea, and lethargy. If your pet shows these signs during RenaKare supplementation, stop administration and contact your veterinarian immediately for advice.

Does RenaKare improve appetite in pets?

RenaKare indirectly helps improve appetite by addressing hypokalemia, which often causes weakness and reduced interest in food. Once potassium levels are restored, pets may regain energy and normal eating habits.
