Kidney Levels are now normal!
I canât say enough good things about this product. My senior lab was having high kidney levels in his yearly bloodwork. I tried this product for a few months along with changing his kibble to something with less protein. We had bloodwork redone a few months later and his kidney levels are normal! They are a big tablet but my lab had no issues taking it with his food.

Ridiculously HUGE pills, impossible to administer
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.

Saw results!!
These are not small nor do they smell good. My dog would not eat them out of my hand or in a pill pocket. But I just smash it up and mix it in with his food and he eats. Now for their purpose, my dog was diagnosed in dec with stage 2 kidney disease creatine was 2.0 and Bun was high 40s. We decided to give them the holidays to eat as he wanted and then we would flip to kidney friendly diet and supplements. In Jan we started with royal canine renal dry F mixed with 1/4 can of Royal Canine wet D. With it he gets this supplement and coenzyme q10 from vetri science. We did level check about a week ago his creatine dropped to 1.1 and BUN was 25. So much better thee vet was extremely impressed. These work they my not bee small or smell good but they help any dog battling kidney problems.

My pup has kidney disease.
Last time I brought my pup to the doctor, they noticed his blood work was abnormal. MD told us our dog has early signs of kidney disease. He’s 14 but still has the energy of a 6yr old dog. We changed his diet to less protein and started him on the renal essential pills. Its been about 2 weeks. He’s been good. There is no cure but I hope these pills are helping him anyway possible.They are very hard pills, takes a bit of effort to break in half. My dog weighs 8lbs so he only takes a half. I get a little nervous he might choke on it bc they are hard. It has never happened so far so good.The pill smells very strong of medicine too. But he eats these up like treats.

VetriScience is the BEST!!!
My dog was diagnosed with an early stage of kidney failure exactly a month ago. He had a teeth cleaning and they found it out due to the blood and urine test. He was put on Hill’s KD diet and got some vitamins. We used the VetriScience VetriDisc supplement before when he had a pinched nerve in his spine and his back legs became almost completely paralyzed. That pill put him back on his feet only after a week!!! So I know we need a pill from VetriScience for this condition too! I started giving the Renal Essentials to him the next day he got diagnosed. We had his check up today and HIS LEVELS ARE BACK TO NORMAL!!! Thank you VetriScience for your amazing products!

Something changed in manufacturing!
So I have been using this product since September and everything was going well. My dog loved it, her values are doing well and she had no issues with this supplement. However, recently I have purchased it (always through Amazon) in the month of November and both bottles I received, though sealed and packaging intact and undamaged, all the tablets were broken, crumbled and had a very strange smell to them. I returned the first bottle and ordered a new one thinking it was damaged in transit but now the second bottle I received was the same. I hope Vetri can fix this issue soon as I purchase other products from them too for another pet.

Medicinal Mushrooms can save your dog’s life.
My name is Brian and I recently lost my best friend Rocky an Alsatian GSD two prostate cancer. I found out about your product through dr. Basko in Hawaii. Miami International brand ambassador for the finest and the first CBD oil for dogs. It’s called Dr Hempdog. Please check out our website at Drhempdog.com as well as on Instagram at #drhempdog up to now we have only spread our product through networking, dog shows and Word of Mouth. I am starting a new web page because I feel half the dogs over 9 dying of cancer is totally unacceptable. If I had learned about your products earlier I may have prolonged my dog’s life. Our motto is we do this for them. Our product was born out of love by our founder for his own dog cool AKA Dr hempdog. We met at a dog park through our dogs. See the pictures above. I have seen Miracles occur with our products which I have been working with for over 3 years now. I would like to speak to you regarding representingyour products on a website that I’m developing. There are many factors that go into a dog’s cancer. Genetic disposition being one of the biggest factors in large dogs. I will be contacting you soon talk about this. I suggest we join forces I try to lick this problem no pun intended.

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 nowIâll definitely buy them again
ThomasHoller –
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.

My 12-year-old terrier was diagnosed with kidney failure in July 2020. The diagnosis was based on two urine tests, and he was showing symptoms. He had a blood test in Feb 2021 to stage the disease…and his blood test was normal. He still has the symptoms, so the disease is still there. I changed his diet, and he lost 15% of his weight so he’s not overweight now. I read up on kidney failure in humans as well as dogs, and started to cook cruciferous veggies to add to the raw meat I still feed him. He drinks the vegetable broth as well as eating the veggies. He loves his new diet and supplements. Thanks for helping me to save my dog!

This product was powder and cloth in the container.

This may work for dogs that are more food motivated but my dog hated this. And because the pills are so large I didn’t dare do the “pop it in her mouth until she swallows it” trick.
