Azovast Plus

I don’t normally write reviews but these supplements have actually saved my cat’s life. She’s 17 years old and over the past few months she was vomiting more and more, losing a lot of weight, and basically not tolerating food. We switched her to senior cat wet food from Science Diet and added these supplements twice a day to her wet food. I’ve tried going down to just one supplement and she starts to vomit a little. Once I go back to 2 supplements she’s fine again. So I know these supplements are working. Thanks to this she’s gained her weight back and has a lot more energy.

These have helped my 18 year old CKD kitty so much. I saw a difference within the first couple of weeks. I wish I had known about these sooner. This has really helped his kidneys.

I'm using this product with my ckd dog. I've read a bunch of reviews that mention that they just dump it into their pets' food. However, the instructions say it should be given whole on an empty stomach. I give it to my dog it at least 1 hour before a meal. My dog takes it easily when hidden whole in a tiny bit of fish. Sort of a pain until you get a routine, but it works well and is worth it.

I rescued a cat with stage 2 to 3 kidney disease, and I really wish I had known sooner what I know now. When she was first diagnosed in the early stages, my vet did not recommend a kidney probiotic. It was not until her disease progressed that I was told to start one. Looking back, I truly believe starting earlier, along with phosphorus binders, could have helped slow things down. That part still frustrates me. If you have a cat or dog with early stage kidney disease, I strongly suggest talking to your vet about phosphorus binders, looking into products like PORUS 1, and starting a kidney specific probiotic sooner rather than later. I had been using Azodyl before trying AzoVast. Azodyl is expensive, comes with fewer capsules, and the capsules are large. Because you cannot open or sprinkle these probiotics, they have to be eaten whole so they survive the digestive tract. With Azodyl, a lot of the dose was wasted because my foster would barely eat it. I decided to try Doggy Naturals AzoVast after a recommendation from a rescue colleague who is also a human medical doctor and very knowledgeable about kidney health. One of the first things I noticed was the capsule size. The AzoVast capsules are much smaller, which makes a huge difference. My cat is far more compliant with these, and they are much easier to hide in food. I have seen some reviews mentioning capsule issues, but for me the smaller size has been a major improvement over the leading brand. Here is the trick that has worked for me. I do not use pill pockets. I use a tiny amount of something my cat absolutely loves and keep it low phosphorus. Beach Nut chicken or turkey baby food works great because it is just meat and broth, unlike Gerber which uses gums. I will use about a teaspoon, place the capsule on top, and sometimes sprinkle a little powdered freeze dried chicken over it. I switch things up so she does not get bored. Sometimes I also use homemade turkey that I cook, blend, and mash into a baby food texture. She gets the capsule twice a day based on her weight. The bottle comes with 120 capsules, which lasts about two months. With Azodyl, I was spending more money and only getting about 45 days worth. Another big plus is that AzoVast does not require refrigeration, unlike Azodyl. I also appreciate that AzoVast does not contain titanium dioxide. The leading brand does, and there are growing concerns about that ingredient. azovast also has an extra probiotic My only question for the company is about the instruction to give this on an empty stomach. Realistically, giving a pill to a cat on a truly empty stomach is almost impossible. I would love clearer guidance on whether a small amount of food is acceptable, because that is the only way most cats will take it. Overall, I am very happy with AzoVast so far. Smaller capsules, better compliance, easier to use, better value, no refrigeration, and cleaner ingredients make this a solid option for cats or dogs with kidney disease. I only wish I had started a kidney probiotic like this sooner.

Works great for my cat! Recommended by my vet

Muy bueno para las mascotas que tienen problemas renal.

Este producto me lo indico el veterinario, mejoro mucho la salud renal de mi perrito.

I purchased this product to replace a much more expensive similar product I’ve been giving my dog for kidney function. Within days of the switch she began drinking excessively again. She had stopped that while on the more expensive product. I should have just stuck with the former product knowing you get what you pay for. One thing I should have noted right away was the fact that this product is not shipped on ice. The label claims it contains the same probiotic strains as the former more costly brand. Yet that brand ships on ice and the company stated it MUST be shipped on ice and kept refrigerated to protect the ingredients. Why wouldn’t this brand do the same? It is a shipped from Amazon in a regular box, no ice in the heat of August. The results speak for themselves. Don’t waste your money. Go for the good stuff and pay a little more. I’ve since purchased the former product and switched back. Wasted money trying to save a little.

Great!

it looks good . hope it will help to cure my cat

Good
