Actually Tasteless
From UndisclosedComments about Phos-Bind 35g PowderMy Magneto was born with small kidneys so the doctor recommended this to help reduce the amount of phosphate build up. I was worried he would turn his nose at it because of the taste but I've mixed it with wet food and he gobbles it right up. I've even dusted it on dry food in a pinch and he didn't mind.-

Q & A

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.

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.

Just FYI… I also have those little spoons, but my spoons seem to measure differently: "Hint" = 1/8 tsp, "pinch" = 1/16 tsp, and "smidge" looks to be 1/32 tsp. A "drop" is the smallest. I'm still trying to figure out how to measure 150 - 175 mg per meal…
Community 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 [email protected] 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.
