AminAvast Small Dogs & Cat Kidney Support - Promotes Healthy Kidney Support in Cats & Small Dogs - 300mg, 60 Capsule

Very good product. Has helped my cat with CKD. Improved his appetite and movement. I give this to both of my older cats to help with their overall kidney function so I am using 6 capsules each day. The product is somewhat expensive at this daily dosage for the 2 cats but their overall health is worth the cost. Both cats are doing well. Easy to administer. One of my cats is extremely picky and has to smell any food before he will eat it. I dissolve the capsule contents in a small amount of one of his favorite wet treats and he gobbles it up without a prolonged smelling session. The other cat easily eats any really wet treat so she is easy to dose. I will definitely keep using this product.

This supplement has done miracles for my senior Pekingese. She was not eating, she was drinking a lot of water and losing her coat to the point where you could see skin. The vet recommended this supplement; it has made a big difference. Her coat grew back fully; she is eating well and not drinking water constantly. The capsules are large, so I empty the contents in a medicine syringe/dropper and add hot water in it to dissolve it (shake until dissolved) then add a little cold water so it's not too hot. I give it to her through the med syringe, and it works perfect. I just give her a little at a time on the inside of her mouth so she doesn't choke on the fluids.

Great impact--cat has stopped frequent vomiting. Easy to administer mixed in with treats.

I used to work in a vet research institution and so I'm familiar with CKD in cats. I was doing research on medications and supplements that have clinical support in being effective and AminAvast is one of the few supplements available over the counter that does actually work in improving kidney function. My 16 year old Maine coon was diagnosed with CKD in 2024 Sept and in less than a year her numbers improved to the point where she is only slightly elevated. She doesn't tolerate a CKD diet either. I've had to give her this and use the tiniest amount of PhosBind in her normal food. She would on occasion eat Forza Renal 10, Evanger's low phos beef tips and other super low phos over the counter cat food but she always gets tired of it very quickly. She prefers salmon, beef, lamb and most renal foods are chicken or tuna. So considering I didn't make much of a change to her food and it's not 'in spec' and primarily gave her two caps of this daily, I consider it a win! PS: the reason for the appetite increase is because as phos is lowered in the body the cat's appetite naturally increases. These amino acids also support muscle retention and can slow down the muscle wasting.

This product is amazing and was recommended by my vet. My 18 year old cat has early stages of renal failure identified 3 years ago. Recent labs have shown his numbers have remained the same since using this product, and a specific diet.

Update on 12/4/18 I started giving this to my cat back in October 27. While there were no instant visible improvements, the improvements to her health, vitality and energy were gradual. After the first week, I noticed that her appetite increased and she would eat her full serving of food. Her water intake is at a good ratio with her eating (she eats dry cat food that's formulated for renal health). Her SDMA levels did not increase and remained stable. BUN numbers are well within the normal range as well. This supplement combined with a veterinarian-prescribed renal cat food is helping keep my kitty healthy and stable. I highly recommend this product! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m giving this 4 stars for now since I saw immediate improvement. My cat’s blood works showed her SDMA level to be on the high side and her urine was dilute along with symptoms of frequent urination and thirst. So I started to give my cat these supplements before her follow up appointment to see what stage kidney disease she’s at. So far, her appetite is normal and she hasn’t been peeing so much (before I gave her these supplements, she would pee so much I had to clean the litter box so many times a day). She has been active and social again. I give this to her along with cosequin for her joints. I will update my review after her next lab works.

It helps so much for my cat, she is so much healthier now

It's not palatable, our cat wouldn't eat his favourite food if it's mixed in it.

My cat has kidney issues and this amino acid supplement somehow piques his interest in eating, even though it doesn't seem to be flavoured in any way. My cat is on a variety of powders and drops but when I ran out of this supplement he did seem to go downhill a bit in the time that he didn't have it. His appetite was not as good and he didn't seem as active when he wasn't taking it. It is pricey, but I have started to give my 7.5 pound cat half of the contents of a capsule in the morning and half in the evening and that seems to be a good dose for him, even if it is half the recommended amount. If your cat is quite thin, it may be a good dose for him/her as well.

J'ai acheté ce produit pour mon chat qui souffre d'insuffisance rénale grade 3. Comme le chat requiert des acides aminés dans son alimentation, ce produit répond à ce besoin. Les résultats sont à venir... Une chose est certaine, ce produit lui fera plus de bien que de mal, en étant consciente que cette maladie finira par l'emporter.

It's only been a few days so dont know if it's helping or not but my cat doesnt mind the taste. It's easy-to-use. But the price is wow. My cat weighs 26lbs so I'm supposed to give him 4 pills a day. If I did that it would be over $200 a month!! I cant afford that at all so I am trying 1pill a day. I Love my cat so much but I just don't have that. I gave up food for myself just to get them.
