Vet told us when our cat was 8-years of age, that he was dying of kidney disease. We put him on age-appropriate Science Diet food (kibble and canned food), Omega 3 and 6 supplements, Pet Wellbeing Kidney Disease Support Gold Cat Supplement, and lots of water. Here, 12 years later, he is still kicking.

Wish I saw this video earlier. I lost my sweet Tabby Cat to Chronic Kidney Disease. I follow everything the doctor advice and never fail to give meds and go for monthly checkups. Eventually my boy had seizures and doctor assume he either have anemia or something else. Before they can even do the blood test, my boy had pass away sooner. I was devastated, I done my best to save him and wish I could do more for him. Rest in peace my sweet boy.

My cat just got diagnosed. He's only 4 years old, we recognized it quite early and he is quite young, so we're praying he survives. ❤

My cat was 14.5 diagnosed with diabetes (by was 486!!) & CKD.. he just missed his 20th birthday by 1 day..I had to say goodbye. He lost his best friend kitty 2 weeks prior & my older guy went downhill fast his last 5 days. I'm proud to say he was in kidney failure 5.5 yrs! Miss you Simba!❤❤

my cat is 8 years old suffering through kidney disease. she is being treated. pray for her

My boy Gandalf is 21 years old and I took him to the vet and vet did a blood work on him and we found out he has kidney disease. The vet gave us a prescription for him Rena care, and he is doing somewhat better. He's our special kitty. Been with us through thick and thin. Hope he will be around another 5 or 10 years. Just can't let go of our buddy. Pray for him. Bless you all.

Dear Dr. Jones, I just wanted to personally thank you for your videos. I have a sweet cat 19 yr old cat named Sammy who has suffered from CKD since Dec 2019. The vet who diagnosed him gave us special kidney diet food and pills for high blood pressure (without even checking it) and said he had 6 months to live. This dear cat is my heart and soul, I've had him since I was 9 years old and naturally, I refused to accept what the vet said. I found your videos in Dec 2019 and you have no idea how much they helped. You gave me SO much hope. I found a different vet, one who was so kind and generous with his time and very understanding of my love for Sammy. Up until recently, we've done sub q fluids every other day for him and his special treat after was his favorite canned food mixed with your supplement. He loved it! Unfortunately, I've made the difficult decision to have him put down today, but we had 19 months together and we savored every moment and he was a champ through it all. Your euthanasia videos have also just given me comfort at this time. I am terrified to say goodbye to my best friend, but he's very weak and struggling to walk on hard surfaces, when he pees he ends up lying down, he has no interest in me or any other furry friend, and is refusing to go anywhere besides underneath my bed or outside. I see I'm holding on because I don't want to say goodbye plus he's still eating (the dry food I declined him for all those months lol) and drinking water, but it's time. Thank you so much for having compassion for animals and giving great educated advice. I credit your supplement for extending and maintaining his quality of life. Sammy also used Slippery Elm, per your advice, to help with nausea and it worked very well! You are a wonderful person. Thank you so much, Dr. Jones. Be well. All the best, Sam and Em x

What works for my 17-year-old cat is B12 for red blood cell production, calcium carbonate, herrings, Pepcid, and adding more filtered water mixed in to every wet meal. No problems with appetite or elimination. He's old but he's happy!

I’m constantly using ur video as a reference to help my cat! I can’t thank you enough.

Thanks for your work Dr Jones. I use your suggestions all the time as an animal healer with a shelter.

Thank you very much for all of the very good work that you do. 🐈🐕

What’s amazing it that 3 of the remedies show up as “frequently bought together” on Amazon! Good work Dr Jones! And we miss you Murray! ❤️ Such a good boy!

Would be great if you could do an updated Cat CKD video. Its such a shame products such aa Azodyl arebg widely available .

Thank you for your channel, tips on animals. One of your books would be a treasure! Thank you again for all you do!

First of all, your advice and supplements put my 15 yo cat into remission from his diabetes and he’s been off insulin for a full month now! Our vet always told us that he had early signs of kidney disease so we had him on KD food for quite some time. My question is considering his diabetes and his signs of kidney disease, how much and how often should we be feeding Baxter this Wellness brand food? Something to note: We feed him his KD food right now with your supplement twice a day about 2 to 2.5oz of food at 7am and 7pm and he always seems to be hungry in the middle of the day. Thank you so much for all you do, I’d be lost without your videos

So informative, thank you thank you doc and murray

Newly SUBSCRIBED. Thank you for all the great informative videos!!

Thank you Dr. Jones. I am going to add these recommended supplements to my senior cat's diet. Am trying hard to keep my old friend going. He has early stages of KD and it is a challenge to keep his weight on. I offer him canned food any time he wants it but will eliminate any dry. He loves his Temptations but now I will give him more hugs instead.

Thank you once again from England. My old chap is 21 now and just showing signs so I'm off supplement shopping this afternoon.

Thank you for this information. I purchased all of these items you suggested for my cat with CKD.

Murray looks like he enjoyed helping make this video. 😁 I recently watched several of your videos about home remedied for cats, cat flu, and eye infections. I am in awe at how well Murray does when you administer his eye drops!!!! I have a kitten I found on October 1, abandoned inside the wall of a storage unit. We literally tore part of the wall down to get him out. He weighed just 7 ounces when we brought him inside - sadly, people in this area abandon animals frequently. I estimate he was 2½ - 3 weeks old. (Still had blue eyes, ears open but partially folded over, wobbly when walking, still had milk teeth.) I started out bottle feeding him kitten formula and have slowly transitioned to wet food. He's now eating from a dish and using the litter box on his own which was a milestone am really grateful he has met. He caught an upper respiratory infection from one of my cats and his eye is runny and the pink part is swollen. So I brewed up some green tea and honey. I have to say that it works really well once I finally get it into his eye!! I am so grateful for your videos, now I just have to master the eye drop skills.

Grrrreattt video. Thanks for being such a caring vet.

Who here doesn't have a cat but came to watch to support Dr. A.J ? And we love Murray too. Me lol. Wishing you and fam a great, safe weekend Dr. A.J.

Very useful! Thanks! Sorry about Murray’s passing😢

Thank you , I have 14 years old cat and I try to find the way to make him feel more comfortable in his condition

Thank you dr jones for a good video i tried alot of things from your videos or your book and it helped my animals

Thank you. Murray was a very special cat.

Thank you for the tips and information! I always love to watch! Now i have a question so i have a dog with starts of kidney disease wat can i give my dog. And can he eating treats? And wat kind of supplements do he need. Also his coat is not as good as before. I hope that you can help my!!! Greats from Holland!

Good video. Entertaining too! Not long found your channel Dr Jones, but been great help to two of our cats already. One had ear trouble scratching and mites. The other a mouth abscess. Both made good recovery. Now, I'm looking for a video to sort out why another of our cats is leaking or seeping from his bottom. I'm searching through your kittie play lists.

Thanks for the information. Murry is adorable. 🙂

Thank you very much. I will show my vet as well

"murray likes food." Same, Murray. Same.

Thanks Again!!! God Bless Murray!!!😺😸

Thanks Doc and beautiful Murray 🐅🐈🐱🐾😻🦁

Hi, good morning..I like you video.. do you have one for dogs with ckd

Dr. I am very happy to see your video I am getting every thing you advice in the video .. today I will order your omega 3 supplements..one question for the phosporos binder .. if my cat still ok on his numbers , should I give this supplements or not yet.. just in case his numbers get high?

What about food with cranberry in it? Was told that it helps. Thanks for the info 🙏😸

Just fed this to my baby. Woke up to her throwing up so I decided even though she’s not out of her old food to switch her right onto this recipe. She’s devouring this and keeps looking over at me like omg thank you so much mom! Thank you so much Doctor for giving me this natural option for my 17 year old baby!

I love the video, really helped one of my cats who was really sick, but I have to say the background music is really distracting. Had to watch the video several times to get the full message.

One of our 6 year old kitties has been struggling, and we found out he has FeLV. His kidneys aren't doing ideal. I already raw feed and use your Ultimate Feline (which our cats love!) He has been going to acupuncture and doing some holistic treatments. This video helped tremendously! The slippery elm was a game changer with his appetite! We are using all of the supplements you suggested in this video, and he turned a huge corner within days! I am so thankful for you and all of your amazing videos. Bless you and what you do ❤

I jumped off a video in progress for this. My cat was just diagnosed with stage two CKD. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Dr. Jones. My cat has had kidney disease for the past few years and had progressed to Stage 2 about a year ago. I discovered this video and started him on daily Omega-3's and Slippery Elm root a few times a week as I felt was needed. About a year later, he is now at the high end number wise of normal kidney function! I think it is the Omega-3's. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the great video

Whose cat heard the can opener?

Hi! Do you have a video about Kidney Disease in dogs? Thank you.

Have a recently diagnosed cat, so doing lots of research. Glad I found your video. My cat also has hyperthyroidism and is on 5 mg day of methimazole. Are there any contraindications to the above recommendations or other steps you would add for a kitty dealing with both issues?

Are there any alternatives to Azodyl? It is very expensive over here in Malaysia.

I wish I would have saw this video 2 years ago. I will get these items ordered asap. I've been feeding my kitty Weruva TruLux for years for it's lower levels but my cat has decided she is over every flavor now and I have to find a replacement asap. This is so helpful, thank you!

Great video. These products have been out for many years. Glad to see them still available. I would add reference to checking B12 and folate and include a tip on what supplement can be used to help cats with low B12/RBCs. My feline specialist prescribes Cobalequin tablets. They are small, triangular-shaped tablets that many cats like the taste of. They can be crushed and mixed into wet food, or given orally.

One of my cats has stage two kidney disease and he is sixteen, he has two special kibble that helps kidney disease, I talked to my veterinarian about giving him wet food because I have been doing lots of research on it and found that out she said he was eating very well and she would switch him in a couple weeks. He also has arthritis and is going on three different medications, he is very tolerant with eating and talking the meds and it helps that the vet is my mom and his owner😂 I am her kid 👧🙃. But I just really hope he doesn’t have to take more medications, I will talk to my mom about the other medications.

Hi Dr. Jones! Does this apply to dogs as well? My Westie gets phosphorus supplement for blood loss from bladder cancer, would the binder be helpful to her? She does have early kidney disease. I hope the phosphorus doesn’t made it worse for her kidneys. Thanks!

Hi, good morning Dr.. do you a video for chronic kidney disease in 🐕. Dogs..

Should I give him all of this supplement.. and for how long.

Such great information! My cat drinks alot of water and urinates very often. This helped my cat but she has diabetes. Do I continue this process?

Sir, could you please help and provide information on kidney and liver illnesses of dogs? What should they eat or refrain from and what holistic medicine can be provided? Thank you in advance. Blessings.

Just watching your videos make me feel at ease. Pets only deserve the best and I want to give my pets a happy and fulfilled life as much as I can. The Canadian Vet clinics charge high prices and only recommending processed food. My male cat is currently at the Emergency Hospital due to urethra blockage and could possibly have kidney damage for the rest of his life. My questions are: Can kidney damage be cured? Can he live a long life with this issue? I'm thinking of switching him to raw; what are your thoughts about raw feeding? I currently feed my dog raw and he is thriving. Thank you for all your hard work and giving us free valuable info.

Murray is so sweet sleeping on the table. 😂😂😂

Dr. Jones please can u tell me what to take from this medicine based on analysis? How can i send u n get advice🙏🏻

Thanks. Really helpful. I use Astro’s Oil supplement for my cat

Thank you so much Dr Jones. I am so grateful for the video. My kittie was just DX'd w/kidney disease. I put her on the Azodyl and Epakitini, so it was wonderful to see you talk about that. She is also trying Calcitriol. The conventional Vet agreed to put her on it when I gave him the information. We'll see how it goes. I do give her krill oil and I just started her on Standard Process Feline Renal Support. What do you think about Calcitriol? You are such a blessing! Please keep doing what you are doing because we desperatly need you.

Which one should I get for an old cat I adopted who just starts to have sign of kidney disease? I bought her prescription food started this month. Thanks

Do you have a link for the Azodyl? Another commenter mentioned how their vet said Epikitin could potentially be detrimental, could you please address this. I don't know where to begin and your video was the first one I came across in search of helping my cat with CKD. She was diagnosed this year, she's 17. Please reply 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I want to order the epakitin, krill and the probiotic supplements, how? online?

what do you guys recommend best to lower phrosphorus levels aluminum hydroxide or calcium carbonate?

Thank you doc

Thank you for the info!! My cat looks just like Murray except my BooBoo has a pink nose!! He’ll be 18 in Oct. I noticed his weight loss of almost three pounds within six months. He went from being almost 16# last Sept to 13.3# in March. The vet put him on the Science Diet k/d but he’s not very interested in the dry. I’m feeding him just the wet but I can’t get him to eat more then one small can a day. He’s also taking two of the Azodyl in the morning and one at night. It’s not increasing his appetite. He stays in my bed sleeping most of the day & all night.

Kirara and Tiger lily gets coconut oil pea size daily and chia, Flex, and Hemp seed mix. Seeds is soaked in water over night , then put in food. Half a tsp once a day.

Dr. Jones do you have a video for dogs with kidney disease?

Good day Dr. Jones, Thank you for your effort, I go through many of your videos and I learnt a lot, you give me hope to fight against disease with my cat. I came up an idea when I watched the video about Melatonin, could it be useful for cat with Chronic kidney disease? I am going to buy for another male cat with breast cancer (another long story) thus if it could use for kidney disease, I will also give this to that older cat with kidney problem. Thank you

Can I use all these supplements at the same time( mix them all and add it to daily meals) Or do I have to pick only 1 or 2 of these tips

Thank You Doctor ❤❤❤

Thank you for this helpful information, Dr. Jones. My cat won't take the Azodyl and I understand it cannot be opened or crushed Any suggestions or alternatives?

Hello Dr Jones , thank you for the video I want to ask about the digestive enzyme if I want to give my cat cooked diet should I add digestive enzyme to the meal ? I heard that cooked food lose the digestive enzyme cause of the heat so I have to add it but my cat have CKD so I'm afraid to do something wrong and make it worse .

Dr. Jones, could you please show a video on administering the azodyl capsules to a cat? Mine arrived yesterday but they are very big and my elderly guy (15) resists them for that reason. I read about a "shooter" device but worry in any case that I would cause choking. thank you, rob

He’s so big and so mellow love cats 🐱🥰

Thankyou so much for sharing this!!! Can my cat have all of this? He is on a special dry food called urinary care because he gets crystals!! and can I switch him to that wet food you introduced? Thankyou very much!!

Hi there, what do you think of Pronefra? Thanks

this cat is sooooo adorable 😭

Hi Dr. Jones, Please comment on use of CBD oil to treat kidney disease in senior cat age 15 with hyperthyroid, arthritis, and hypertension. thank you

I’m so glad they’ve discovered so much more about this problem. Back over twenty years ago, I was told kidney problems were due to tar in some of the canned cat food causing crystals. Maybe, that was incorrect. But, also that the cat ph was off as they are carnivore. Not grain eaters. Had a cat with a lot of problems. I could not afford the vet treatments and it seemed rough for the cats. At first sign of crystals I’d learned to put a little apple cider vinegar ( with the mother) in their water. Seemed to dissolve the crystals, and stop the problem. Worked like a charm. But, I am still wondering if there aren’t several causes. What about high oxalates foods ( as occurs with humans ). Such as spinach and sweet potatoes in their foods. Sounds like healthy food. But, can create kidney stones and bladder stones.

Hi, Doc, Epakitin is not available in my country. What can you suggest as an alternative? There is an "Ipakitin" being sold online, but I am not sure it is reliable. There are also chitosan powders that are available. Will this be good enough? Please advise. Thanks!

Thank you Dr. Jones for this good information. I have started all supplements on my 14-year-old with end stage CKD. He is doing better, but his hind legs are getting weaker and weaker by the day. Is there anything I can do to strengthen those back legs? Thank you so much!

Is this recipe n supplements good for dogs for early stage of kidney disease????

Will you please tell me where to look to make my cat's food at home, she has the beginning stage of CKD? Thank you!

Can you make a video like this for dogs

It seems to me it should be possible to put them on some of these supplements and food choices to prevent kidney disease. Any studies regarding this?

I am hoping you will do a vlog on kidney disease in dogs including diet. My Papiillon is just turning nine and his levels are very mild.

Would you use these same things on dogs. Honey is already taking everything but slippery elm? She’s same weight as Tula. 👍❤️❤️

Sharing it! 😻😻😻

Dr. Jones, thank you for the helpful video! Have you posted a video about B12 supplement for cats with CKD? Does B12 help?

Dr. Jones do you have a video for CKD in dogs?

Could I give the Epakitin powder with water in a syringe oraly? If my cat wont eat the food with it mixed in? Please and thank you. Like before or after eating?

Hi. How do you give the azodyl? Can it be opened then sprinkled in food?

Hi Dr. Jones, have you ever tried Spirulina (detox and amino acids) and Curcumin (anti inflammatory) for CKD in cats? thank you so much for sharing so much wisdom.

Yes this is all so true where do I get wellness food My 18 year old cat has kidney disease eats only canned and eats all the time drinks alot of water

What do you think about prescriptions foods?

My cat unfortunately has both legs liver problem & CKD. Can one give supplemehes of both? What does one do when they arnt eating much how will the supplement metabolise

How important is it to catch it early? What is the difference between acute kidney damage and chronic kidney damage. I read acute can be reversible...

Where can I get these products?
