Pleased with VetRXDirect
From Baltimore, MD, USAComments about K-BroVet (Potassium Bromide)I found these to be less expensive than buying them through my vet. Sometimes the delivery is not as quick as I would like, even when I think I allowed enough time, which means my dog has had to go without for a few days. But, I will continue to purchase them here. -

Can I mix the chewable K brovet tablets in my dogs wet food ahead of time(in daily portioned amounts)for kennel boarding purposes ??

If your dog’s wet food requires refrigeration after opening, it is recommended to add K-BroVet immediately prior to administration. According to the manufacturer, K-BroVet should be stored at room temperature (68-77 °F). The stability of K-BroVet cannot be guaranteed if stored at cooler temperatures. Please consult your veterinarian with further questions about safely storing and administering this medication.

Can I apply liquid bromide to the bags of food I prepare for my dog when he is boarded while I am traveling? I prepare homemade food that is refrigerated, so I am assuming this would be okay??
-
Combining liquid bromide to bags of dog food is not recommended for a variety of reasons: One is that the manufacturer states to store the K-BroVet in a sealed container at room temperature (not in the refrigerator). After adding K-BroVet to the food, the chemistry of the K-BroVet (and possibly even the food) will be compromised and will not be stored per manufacturer's recommendation. The second is that there is no way to determine the shelf-life and the potency of the K-BroVet after it has been added to your dog's food.

My dog doesn't like the taste of the liquid. Can it be mixed with Greek yogurt and frozen more like a treat??
-
The manufacturer of K-BroVet recommends storing their product at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Refrigeration or freezing of the liquid solution can cause crystallization of the product, leading to potentially inaccurate dosing. It is therefore not recommended to freeze this product. There is an alternate dosage form of K-BroVet available, a liver flavored chewable tablet, that could be viable option for your situation. VetRxDirect also offers several compounded options of potassium bromide. Please contact your veterinarian to determine what they believe is the best course of therapy for your dog. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My veterinarian wants me to increase my 15 lb dog K BroVet from 250 to 550 for 5 days because he was having seizures everyday, on top of 16.2 mg of phenobarbital to give his brain a boost, could there be a side affect on this boost??
-
Lynie, For seizure treatment the loading dose of K-BroVet is typically between 400 and 600 mg per day. Even though 550 mg is within the loading dose, there may be adverse effects associated the medication. The most common side effect is sedation, lasting up to 3 weeks, in dogs receiving this drug. This adverse effect is commonly seen when used with phenobarbital treatment. Other potential adverse effects reported include weight gain in the first few months of therapy, increase urine frequency, weight loss, vomiting, and constipation. You may feed a low calorie diet to avoid weight gain. Also, acute GI upset may occur if the loading dose is given too rapidly. Please contact your dog's veterinarian if one of these adverse effects is observed while on this medication. In addition to the side effects noted above, we recommend giving doses on a regular basis. Lack of good compliance is a major cause of therapeutic failures with anti-seizure medications. If a dose is missed, give it when remembered; a dose may be doubled the next day, but should be separated by several hours to reduce the chance for an upset stomach. If your dog cannot tolerate an upset stomach (i.e. vomiting) of K-BroVet with daily doses your pet may better tolerate doses divided throughout the day and given with food. Thank you, VetRxDirect
