Amazing results!
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderPhos-bind was veterinarian recommended for my new foster Mastiff, Lincoln. Lincoln came to me dangerously close to kidney failure, his labs were off the charts! I have now had Lincoln 9 months. He gets home cooked meals and 2 scoops 2x daily of Phos-bind...no medications! Lincoln's last two 3-month bloodwork's have been utterly amazing! All corresponding levels have been drastically reduced, each time! Thanks to your company offering this product to pet owners and rescues! Lincoln and others like him have bright futures ahead of them! As well as peace of mind for the ones who dearly love them!-
Nothing but comfy from here on out!

Phos-bind
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-BindMy MRF Mastiff foster, Lincoln, has Benn using this product for 9 no. for Kidney Disease. Besides changing to homemade meals this is the only "medication" he is on. Lincoln has had two lab work ups since beginning Phos-bind and each time all related levels were drastically reduced! -
Fast ship, order correct, no complaints
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-BindMy vet wants one of my cats on Phos-Bind to lower her phosphorus retention due to kidney disease. Phos-Bind is a powder that I mix into her wet food, so it is easy to administer. Vet Rx Direct had the best price at the time of my order and shipped same day. USPS took 8 days to deliver from a nearby state, however, in spite of the fact Vet Rx shipped Priority mail.-

Phos-Bind is GREAT!
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 200g PowderAfter much research, I discovered food high in phosphorus was bad for cats with renal disease. I bought low phosphorus foods but my old cat quickly lost interest. I saw Phos-Bind in a veterinary paper on line and asked my vet about it. He had just started recommending and selling it. They prescribed 1/4 t. in meals. I have used it now for a couple of years. My 17 1/2 year old cat gets it in both his meals. He's entering his 3rd year with renal disease and only started on subcu fluid support in the last 6 months. I give Phos-Bind all the credit for his survival. It's GREAT! -
Much-needed meds delivered fast
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderMy kitty has been taking Phos-Bind daily for months, and we came dangerously close to running out. Ordered it here and paid for 3-5 day shipping, holding my breath that it'd come on time the week of Christmas. It shipped out the day I ordered and arrived within 4 days. Zuko and my family thanks you! Phos-Bind has been crucial to extending his quality of life.-

Q & A

Can I mix the total amount in my cats wet food and then refrigerate the left over for later meals? Will the ingredients still work if it is mixed earlier in the day??
-
According to the manufacturer, it is OK to mix Phos-Bind into the food and refrigerate for use later. The manufacturer warns not to heat the food with the PhosBind already mixed in. If the food is to be heated later, add the PhosBind just before serving.

Hello....I need help with the dosage. My dog weighs 12.6 lbs. and is currently on 4 ml of Alternagel (320 mg/5 ml.). What would be an equivalent dosage of Phos Bind??
-
We need to put one of our patients on this product and the dosage would be 100mg per day, I was wondering how many mg are per scoop and how we would have the owner measure out the 100mg? thank you so much in advance for your help.?

Phos-Bind comes in two different size containers, 35 grams and 200 grams, each with their own scoop. For the 35 gram container, the scoop is 1.25 cc (¼ tsp) and measures 250 mg/scoop. The 200 gram container has a scoop size of 2.5 cc (½ tsp) and measures 500 mg/scoop. The recommended dosing is 100 mg/kg daily with meals according to the manufacturer.
Verified Answer -
My cat is supposed to have 1/4 tsp per day (1 scoop from the smaller container). Since she is fed wet food twice, she gets 1/8 tsp per meal. Those pinch-smidgen-dash spoons are helpful here. The dash spoon is 1/8 tsp. The smidgen is 1/16 tsp. and the pinch is 1/32 tsp.

Hi! I just received my second order of Phos-Bind and I am concerned because the texture of the powder is totally different than the first container. The powder in one container is very light and smooth, like flour, and the other is very granular, like salt. I'm wondering about the difference and what the texture is supposed to be??
-
Please contact customer service via email at customerservice@vetrxdirect.com to provide more information in regards to your order. Then we can reach out to the manufacturer to obtain the best answer.
Verified Answer -
Yes, I experienced the same thing (but ordered through another site). I actually prefer the new granular texture, it doesn't "poof up" and get all over the place like the fine (flour-like) version. It seems to mix in better as well.

Can you mix Phos-bind with your cat's therapeutic food which contains potassium citrate? I have read that the potassium citrate can speed up the absorption of the aluminium in aluminium hydroxide binders causing aluminum toxicity.?
-
According to the manufacturer, this medication is meant to be used with your cat’s food. The manufacturer does not supply information on if potassium citrate would cause an issue with Phos-bind. The manufacturer does recommend consulting your veterinarian if your cat takes other medications or if you notice any unusual side effects while your cat is on this medication. Please contact your veterinarian for further information or concerns about the safety of this product for your cat.
