Vetoquinol Renal K+ Gel, 5-oz tube
Vetoquinol Renal K+ is a highly palatable potassium supplement formulated for dogs and cats to support normal kidney function, muscle health, and nervous system maintenance. It is specifically designed for pets in a potassium-deficient state (hypokalemia), which is a common complication in animals suffering from chronic kidney disease or prolonged gastrointestinal upset. By replenishing essential potassium levels, this supplement helps prevent the muscle weakness, lethargy, and poor coat quality associated with deficiency, offering extra nutritional protection that easily integrates with standard renal care diets.
The active ingredient in the gel is Potassium Gluconate, providing 2 mEq (468 mg) per each 1/2 teaspoon (2.34 grams) of gel. The inactive ingredients include a tasty maple flavor, essential B-complex vitamins (Biotin, Folic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin B12, and Thiamine), Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, and Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose to maintain a smooth, easy-to-dose texture.
