I would evaluate calcium based alternatives
A minute dose in each meal for our kidney compromised feline. We use a total of 1/8 teaspoon per day.
This product does seem to cause some constipation in some pets.

Great price
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 200g PowderThis product has helped my cats quality of life. She was disgnosed with kidney disease a year ago, and her numbers have stayed stable since then. I give it to her in her food, either wet or dry. She doesn't have any issue with the flavor or texture. I am glad I can find the big pack here, and at a very good price. Cheaper than in other places, and shipped to Puerto Rico! Thank you.-

Great product, and palate friendly.
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderMy dogs phosphate levels way above normal. This product brought her down to normal levels in 10 days. Plus, she doesn't seem to notice it in her food. Am encouraged so much, have already purchased a 2nd jar. -
Gel shortage alternative
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 200g PowderHad to switch from aluminum hydroxide gel to this powder because of a problem with the gel being backordered. The shortage is everywhere. So we had to figure out how to use this product. You definitely have to do your own homework. This product was at my door in 4 days. Does not mix well with water. We syringe feed our cat 4 times a day and 2 of those times we use the phos bind. It's too grainy, made Gracee gag so we put 1/8 tsp in a pill crusher with 1m of water and crushed it to a super fine slurry. Pick that up with a syringe and add another 1m water to pick up any remaining in crusher. She doesn't notice it in the food using this method. I emailed Vet Rx for help with dosage and never got a response. Did my own homework. Search for how to use phos bind. -

After a month, the jury is still out on this product
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 200g PowderOur vet suggested using this product with our cat who has recently been diagnosed with kidney disease. We are over a month into using this, and if we come even close to the dose the vet suggested, he throws up. We have deleted all food additives for him other than his k'd canned food and the Phos-Bind, but he is still throwing up. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will adjust to this product and that it actually helps him. I will update this review in another month or so. -
Medication seems to be working.
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderMy cat has kidney disease and my vet said this might help him feel more comfortable and slow his disease progression. The product came very quickly. It is easy to use and he eats it readily mixed with food.-

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.-

Q & A
-
Can this be mixed with a pro-biotic paste? I use the Proviable paste and want to make sure it doesn't contain anything that would adhere to or react with the Phos-Bind.?
-
According to the manufacturer, the kaolin and pectin in Proviable paste could delay absorption of some medications, so the administration of the paste should be separated by 1-2 hours from other medications.

I am confused by the dosage information for this product. Previously you answered, " A scoop is included with the Phos-Bind powder. 1 Leveled scoop of powder contains 500mg of Aluminum hydroxide, and the manufacturer recommends giving 100mg/kg daily with meals." So for a 100mg do I give a 5th of a scoop and is a 100mg given at each meal? Does it matter how much the dog weighs??
-
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 labeled directions for Phos-Bind is 100 mg/kg daily with meals. The manufacturer recommends that the total daily dose should be divided up and given with each meal. The weight of the animal is important, because the labeled dosage of Phos-Bind is based on weight: 100 mg is given per 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight. The dosage of this product will also vary based on the individual needs of your pet, and it is recommended that your pet’s blood values be checked periodically to ensure the correct dosage. Your veterinarian can help determine the proper dosage and provide you with the directions to administer Phos-Bind to your pet.

I have heard on a kidney failure FB group that medication should not. E given within 2 hours of Phos Bind. Is that correct? This makes it near impossible to give meds & binder in food before going to work. TY?
-
Some medications interact with the Phos-Bind, it is recommended that Phos-Bind is used under the supervision of your veterinarian. Please inform your veterinarian of all medications including over-the-counter products your pet is taking to help prevent interactions. For best absorption of medications, it is recommended to separate those administered orally from Phos-Bind by at least 2 hours.

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.
