The only thing that worked....
From ArkansasComments about Phos-BindI've been monitoring my 13 year old Border Collie mix's kidney values for about two years now. Originally, her values were only a little above normal, and went back to normal when I put her on a veterinary kidney diet (Hills K/D). About 6 months ago, her appetite decreased and repeat bloodwork indicated the values had gone up considerably. After a couple days on iv fluids to flush her out, she perked up some but was not nearly her normal self. We started her on Epikatin, which helped a bit but her phosphorus levels were still way too high, and her appetite was terrible. I ordered the Phos-Bind and within two weeks (I think) her appetite improved, and repeat blood tests have been better---BUN and Creatinine are still above normal (but not horribly so) but the phosphorus level is back to normal. Without this product, I'm sure I would have lost my old girl several months ago. -
Healthy dog, happy dog
From undisclosedComments about Phos-BindStarted using this product combined with renal support, and a change in diet to drop my young labs high kidney values. Definitely have seen a change in his appetite. Going in to recheck values soon. -
Excellent product!
From undisclosedComments about Phos-BindMy vet prescribed Phos-bind after our dog Qari's blood test came back with very scary levels of phosphorus and kidney failure. After 2 weeks on it, her recheck came back a lot better and continues to get better. This product for sure helped her feel better and rebound from a crisis. -
I would buy this product again if recommended by my vet.
From undisclosedComments about Phos-BindI was not pleased to have to dig into the product to obtain the spoon. Powder everywhere! I recommend covering the product with plastic laying spoon on top of that. But, if it helps my dog, that is the most important concern. -
Definately would buy again
From undisclosedComments about Phos-BindMy Vet asked me to purchase this for my 12 year old Yorkie who has heart and kidney failure. Since I've been using it he has "perked" up immensely. It's very easy to use by spreading it over his food and mixing in. I had thought it might be easier in pill form but it is easy as it is. Thank you, so much, for giving my boy some quality time! -

Q & A

Can someone make a chart with a range of pet weights and dosages? A 1/5 of a tsp is ridiculous to measure. I do not want to be guessing and my vet has no clue about the amount of Phos Bind needed.?
-
My cat weighs 7.3 lbs. I have a 1/8 scoop. How much should my cat get a day. How much in teaspoons is 100gram. The product is RXVitamins. Give 100 mg with meals daily. 35 mg container?
-
The included scoop in the 35 gram container equals ⅛ teaspoon. One scoop (⅛ teaspoon) contains 250mg of Aluminum Hydroxide. It is recommended to use the included scoop for greater accuracy in dosing. According to the manufacturer, the recommended dose of Phos-Bind is 100 mg/kg once daily with meals. There are several factors that may influence how much your cat should be getting, so it is recommended to consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your cat.

I am frustrated as this does not come with a measuring spoon and so I have no idea how much to give to my 11lbs cat?

Phos-Bind is a dietary supplement of aluminum hydroxide that supports normal function and health of the kidneys in cats and dogs. According to the manufacturer, Rx Vitamins, their suggested dosing is 100 mg/kg by mouth once daily with meals. However, the actual dosage needs to be determined by your veterinarian. The 35 gram powder container comes with one scoop that is equivalent to ⅛ teaspoon (tsp). The 200 gram powder container comes with one scoop that is equivalent to ¼ teaspoon (tsp). The scoop in the container may have settled into the powder during transport, so it may need to be dug out. It is recommended to consult with your veterinarian for any other concerns or questions regarding the dosage of this product for your cat as they are most aware of your cat’s condition and needs.

I received the "New Finer Powder" product which has a 1/8 scoop instead of the previous product that was more granular with a 1/4 scoop. Are the dosing instructions now different with the New Finer Powder for a maximum amount of 1/8 scoop per day instead of the 1/4 scoop in the previous product? That is, do I now need to change the amount I give my cat now that the product has been remade??
-
The new ⅛ scoop is equivalent to the previous ¼ scoop as they are both 250mg per 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 between meals. Based upon how much your cat weighs, it will determine how many scoops you should give them. Please speak to your veterinarian as they can help you determine the proper dosage to administer to your cat.

Hi, is this product made from a gel that has been turned into a powder? Apparently, that's the type of aluminum hydroxide recommended by my vet. Thank you?
-
According to the manufacturer, Phos-Bind is made from a dried gel and converted into a fine powder.

There seems to be incorrect and/or confusing information in the product description. 35 g powder contains 250 g of Aluminum Hydroxide : how can 35g of powder contain 250 g of AlOH? [It should be '250 mg AlOH' based on the product pictures]. Reducing the potential for confusion will be a good thing. For the following, maybe the "scoops" are different sizes? If that's the case, add in parentheses the scoop size, e.g. 90 (1/4 tsp) scoops. Phos-Bind 35g container = 90 scoops Phos-Bind 200g container = 200 scoops?
-
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.
Verified Answer -
The Verified Reply from VetRxDirect is in error and is probably causing doses double the proper amount. The label on my jar of Phos-Bind clearly states: "500mg/0.25tsp".
