Is this product gelatinous, a liquid, a powder, or what? I am confused, sorry!?
-
The manufacturer states that the product has gel properties but is in solution form. This medication is taken like a liquid. For further questions regarding this product and whether it’s appropriate for your pet, please speak to your veterinarian.
Verified Answer -
The "gel" is a milky liquid. (Which is mint flavored, like toothpaste) I have no idea who's definition of gel they used. The product also comes in a powdered form. The powder is very fine, and has no taste.

THe product Phos-bind that comes in powder, is that typically mixed with water to turn it into liquid gel? Or is it just added to the food as a powder??

Phos-bind is usually administered to pets by adding the powdered medication onto the food. This helps by binding the phosphorus from the meal that your pet is eating.
