The Wellmark Kidney Supplement is a nutraceutical that helps support renal (kidney) function in cats and dogs. It’s suitable for use for animals who need renal support, such as those with chronic kidney disease diagnosed by a veterinarian.
Chronic kidney failure usually affects cats and dogs as they age.
Kidneys have many functions, primarily to remove waste products from the bloodstream, regulate the levels of certain essential minerals such as potassium and sodium, conserve water, and produce urine. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), or Chronic Renal Failure, is the inability of the kidneys to filter the blood of waste products efficiently. Chronic Kidney Disease usually affects cats and dogs as they age. Signs of CKD include increased water consumption and urination. Once the kidney failure is more advanced, signs may include loss of appetite, lethargy, halitosis and hair loss.
Used daily for dogs and cats who need renal (kidney) support, such as those with chronic kidney disease diagnosed by a veterinarian.
