@Dr. Jeff Maya's wellness exam and subsequent blood work won't occur until next month. Maya's was 4.6 in 2025. Bella had recent bloodwork done last month and her Phos was 3.8.

@Dr. Jeff Following back up on this thread since I answered your question before I started giving the kitties the PhosFix. I am not sure how much to give each kitty, si am giving them each about 35% from one capsule. Also, does this need to be paired with anything else like a vitamin? Aventi Kidney I just gave them that product. Not sure about PhosFix. Thank you!

35-50% is perfect as long as their Phos. levels stay where they are.
No. It is strictly for Phos binding.
Do you give any other vitamins (in addition to vitamin V) or probiotics?

@Dr. Jeff thank you for getting back to me! My life is so busy lately like we all are. I was nervous about just giving the PhosFix alone so I stopped the last few days, but they really do need kidney support of some kind. Bella's Phosphorus in August 2026 was 3.8. The dr was very happy, and she had been on Aventi Kidney until I ran out last month, hence shifting to your recommended PhosFix. Currently I am giving them Nordic Naturals Omega 3 and Myos muscle & joint support which includes green lipped mussels, and a daily sprinkling of nutritional yeast flakes (which I refer to as some sprinkles, hahaha) on their meals. Maya is also eating a daily nugget of Flexadin for her joints but Bella doesn't like the taste. I do have liquid Vit D/K2 which I am not regular at giving them but I could. I was using Wysong PDG for a long time but stopped a few months ago when Bella began to turn her nose up. Also, I will have updated Phos levels for Maya on Monday when she has her annual wellness exam and blood drawn. In 2025 Maya's Phos level was 4.6. Based on all of this, is there something else I should purchase to go with the Phos Fix like you mentioned above, and is the 1/3 capsule for each kitty still adequate? Thanks! P.S. I am getting better at giving Bella sub q fluids once a week and am almost ready to take the training wheels off, haha. She is feeling much better and I have started giving her Cerenia for her vomiting which has reduced that a lot as well.35-50% is perfect as long as their Phos. levels stay where they are.

@Dr. Jeff so that I understand, does the Pet Wellbeing product work together with the PhosFix? And how? Thank you! I plan to order it, then.

They both work to support kidney function in many ways.

@Dr. Jeff good afternoon! I appreciated reading the scientific article on Rehmannia glutinosa, which appears to be an ingredient in the Pet WellBeing Kidney Support Gold I ordered today. When I look back, you also included links for Liquid B12, probiotics, and Herbsmith kidney care. Since I am trying not to go to crazy with so many items to give them every day, I'll make a bullet list of what I have on-hand that I may, or may not be, currently giving them (but I have it):
Thanks!
