Dr. Harvey's Kidney Health Kidney Support Supplement for Dogs (4 Ounces)

I am thrilled to have discovered Dr Harvey's! When my beloved Catahoula, Clarke, had elevated kidney enzymes show in his last old man routine blood work, I immediately started researching how to help prevent further increases. I own and operate a pet care company and I knew that prescription food was never going to be an option for any of my kids! view animal prescription diets in the same way I view many human pharmaceuticals where your veterinarian gets a commission from the product and therefore encourages usage when the reality is that most of those foods create a variety of secondary issues from all of the crap that is in them. Read a label sometime and you will be shocked at the bounty of ingredients that you can't even begin to pronounce. I have always found that for any dietary need you can find an alternative to a prescription diet that is far more healthy for your fur babes. Clarke's enzymes were elevated but he had not crossed the line into kidney disease, knock on wood. I came across this supplement by Dr Harvey's and based on the ingredients and amazing reviews I decided it was the one for my boy. He is on his 4th container now and although I haven't done any repeat blood work, his water intake has drastically reduced, which is an awesome and telling sign! The micro-powdered supplement gets added to his food twice daily (I also changed his feeding guidelines to be more kidney friendly) and from the moment I opened the 1st canister I was impressed by the consistency and the delicious smell! I have used Eastern medicine for years and this supplement reminds me very much one of those tried & true food, three thousand-year-old specialty blends. One container lasts us about 15 days, which may seem costly, but Clarke is more than worth it and I can actually SEE the results! I would wholeheartedly recommend the supplement to anybody who needs a little extra protection for their dogs kidneys!! Dr Harvey's seems to have their head and her heart in the right place and based on my positive experiences I have also started feeding Clarke and his brother their Canine Health dehydrated food base, which looks absolutely amazing but that is for another review! Lastly, you will notice that in my review I never use the word "pet". I'm not a huge fan of the concept of us "owning" animals and I noticed immediately that Dr. Harvey's shares the same attitude. Not once in there literature did I read the word "pet". It might sound silly but it tells me that their approach to companion animal care is one that puts the animals first and that they believe in the relationships that we share with our animal friends. That is okay in my book! Thanks for the great products, Doctor Harvey's! I look forward to trying some of your other blends at some point!

This product works! My dog was suffering. It helped her come back to life literally. She was suffering and couldn’t eat, within a couple days. She was 80% better.

I am not sure if it is this supplement or reduced protein but my dogs kidney disease has not progressed in a year we ve used it. I add it to food and she doesn’t mind it (although she js usually a picky one with some supplements)

My 10 year old German Shepherd's breath reeled like urine and I thought he was not long for this world. I started him on this supplement along with Dr. Harvey's Golden Years powder, and his kidney problems vanished. After two months on this, the vet said his kidney health was perfect. We ran out for a few weeks, and the urine breath returned, but went away again after a week on it again. The only downside is that one of these supplements causes the most unbelievably stinky dog farts, which I solved by crushing two beano tablets in his food every day. (He weighs 110 lbs).

I was hesitant on this purchase because some reviews leaned in the direction of , "My Dog didn't like it." Well, I am glad to say, my girl liked it. On the other hand my other dog wouldn't touch her bowl when I tested to see if she would eat it mixed in. This dog eats anything but she sniffed her bowl and walked away. Good thing the Kidney Support Supplement was not purchased for her. I purchased a second tub and when complete, I will take my girl into the Vet to see if her kidney numbers improved. That will be the real test of Dr. Harvey's Kidney Health Kidney Support Supplement. I will update this post with the results. I hope it works.

My Westie had stage 2 kidney failure 6 months ago. I did some research and added this product and the Dr Harvey’s multi vitamin. I also make the dogs food and leaned more heavily to grains, oats and fresh veggies with turkey and beef only. Wanted to achieve a carb rich lower protein fresh food. At her 6 months visit her kidney failure is gone via blood test results. All her tests are normal and her urine is free from protein. Highly recommend both products. We are very happy dog parents today.

Perhaps this works for other dogs, but for my 13 year old yorkie who has stage two CKD and zero accidents or other symptoms, this introduction into her food has caused nothing but problems. Because of her small size, (5lbs) I added just under half a scoop per meal to allow her body to acclimate to it. As far as whether or not she notices it, I mix it in and she devours her food, same as always. No difference. Within two days of adding Dr. Harvey’s Kidney Support into her food she starts having piddling accidents all over the house and overnight accidents while she’s fully asleep. I’ve tried adding it into her food three separate times and the kidney supplement is the only variable that’s causing this. As it CKD wasn’t bad enough, it’s even more concerning because it’s causing her to loose hydration.

The ingredients are good and it may be effective, but neither of my CKD dogs will eat it.

The supplement came in good condition. Previously bought from another seller and the powder didnt appear to be fresh. Realize how seller store the product is very important. My dog’s regular supplement for the past one over years as she’s on various medications and supplements.

we changed over to this hoping to maintain my senior dog’s degenerative kidney values from going up. after using it for 6mth, we went for his routine check and was please to find out that his kidney values are back to normal! highly recommend this!

The dogs did not like the smell and taste so it was not used at all.
