Renal Support for Dogs: What to Buy First

The first purchase is not on this page. For a dog with diagnosed chronic kidney disease, the therapeutic renal diet is the only intervention with survival data behind it, and the numbers are not small. In the controlled work summarised by the American College of Veterinary Nutrition, dogs on a therapeutic kidney diet reached uremic crisis at a median of 615 days against 252 days on a maintenance diet, and 33 percent died of renal causes against 65 percent.

Four renal diets are in stock in our veterinary diets aisle: Royal Canin Renal, Vetlife Renal in dry and canned, Vivaldis Renal Support and Calibra Renal. Start there. Then add a phosphate binder if, and only if, blood phosphate stays high on the diet. Phoslure, which is sevelamer, is on this page at ₹234.38 for ten tablets.

Three things before you add anything to the basket.

You cannot buy renal support without a diagnosis first. Kidney disease is staged, not guessed. The International Renal Interest Society stages it on "fasting blood creatinine concentration and/or blood SDMA concentration," and is explicit that the system "is only applicable to dogs and cats with stable CKD," with stability shown by repeating the test in two to four weeks. Proteinuria and blood pressure then substage it, and those two numbers change what your vet prescribes. A drinking-more, weeing-more dog needs bloodwork, not a syrup.

Urinary care and renal care are not the same shelf. Most products in this collection are for the bladder. Cranberry, cranberry, cranberry. The bladder and the kidney are different organs with different diseases, and a cranberry tablet does nothing for a failing nephron. If your dog has been diagnosed with kidney disease, skip past most of what is listed here, and read the next section before you spend.

This page lists human prescription medicines. Do not self-select them. Two loop diuretics, a calcimimetic used in human dialysis, a haemostatic and two citrate alkalinisers are filed in this collection. Every one of them requires a prescription and our checkout enforces that, which is as it should be. The reason we are naming it here is that a diuretic given to a dehydrated kidney patient makes the kidney worse, and browsing a "renal care" category should not feel like an invitation.

Renal Care and Urinary Care Are Two Different Problems

This is the single most useful thing on the page, so it goes near the top.

	Urinary tract	Kidney
What it is	Bladder and urethra. Infection, stones, incontinence	The filtering tissue itself, failing gradually
What you see	Straining, frequent small wees, blood, accidents indoors	Drinking and urinating much more, weight loss, poor appetite, vomiting, bad breath
How it is found	Urine test, culture, imaging for stones	Blood creatinine and SDMA, urine protein to creatinine ratio, blood pressure
What actually treats it	Culture directed antibiotics for infection, diet for stones, specific drugs for incontinence	A therapeutic renal diet, phosphate control, blood pressure and protein control
What is on this shelf	Most of it. Cranberry tablets and syrups, citrate alkalinisers, bladder tonics	A minority. One sevelamer binder, one astragalus capsule, a few kidney tonics

If you searched for renal support for dogs and landed here, the honest position is that our sister collection, renal and urinary supplements for dogs, holds more of the kidney products, including the phosphate binders and renal supplements most vets in Mumbai actually name. Both links are at the foot of this page. We would rather send you two clicks away than sell you a bladder supplement for a kidney problem.

What to Buy for Which Diagnosis

What the vet has said	What to buy
Early CKD, IRIS stage 1 or 2, phosphate normal	The renal diet. Nothing else is proven at this stage
CKD with phosphate still high on the diet	The diet plus a phosphate binder with every meal, and a repeat phosphate test in two to four weeks
CKD with protein in the urine	Diet plus whatever your vet prescribes for proteinuria. We stock benazepril, in the cardiac range, not here
Confirmed bacterial bladder infection	The antibiotic the culture indicated. Not a cranberry supplement
Recurring bladder trouble, no infection found	Ask about a urinary diet. Royal Canin Urinary S/O and Vetlife Struvite are in stock
No diagnosis, just drinking a lot	A blood and urine test. That is the purchase

What It Costs Per Month

Item	Pack	Price
Royal Canin Renal Dog dry	2kg	₹2,750
Vetlife Renal Dog dry	2kg	₹2,990
Vetlife Renal Dog dry	12kg	₹14,450
Vivaldis Renal Support dry	2kg	₹2,400
Vetlife Renal Dog canned	300gm	₹520
Phoslure, sevelamer	10 tablets	₹234.38
CK-Reno Dog, astragalus and NAC	60 capsules	₹1,600

We have not printed a monthly figure for any of these. Diet quantity depends on the dog's weight, binder dose depends on the phosphate result and the meal, and inventing an average would mislead somebody budgeting for a long illness. Bring us the dog's weight and we will work out a month for you at the counter.

The one thing worth saying about cost is the direction of it. A 12kg bag is a great deal cheaper per kilo than a 2kg bag, and CKD is managed for years, not weeks. If the dog accepts the diet, buy the big bag.

What Is in Stock, and What Needs a Prescription

This collection lists 39 products and 22 are in stock, which is the healthiest shelf in our pet range. The number needs unpacking though, because the 39 are not all the same kind of thing.

Kidney products, in stock: Phoslure sevelamer ₹234.38, CK-Reno Dog capsules ₹1,600, Nefrotec DS ₹205, Nephrolite syrup ₹220.

Bladder and urinary products, in stock: the cranberry range, which is Cranbact, Cranbopet, UTS Advance in two sizes, Uro Support and UTI Support, plus Rkleen, Cystopro, Cystocure Forte, Urinary Syrup, Renalof, Bladder-Plus, Uripet Intense and Freossi Bladfre.

Prescription only, listed here, gated at checkout: Pooch Uroflow, which is torsemide, a potent diuretic whose own page says it is for congestive heart failure. Cital and Cital UTI, which are human citrate syrups. PTH 30, which is cinacalcet, a human calcimimetic. Lasix and Furoped, both frusemide. Ethasyl, which is etamsylate.

Our checkout asks for a valid prescription on all of those, under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. That part works. What we want you to take from this page is simply that a category called renal care contains items that a kidney patient should not receive casually, and that the person who decides is your vet.

For a kidney dog, bring or send the latest blood report. It changes what we can helpfully suggest, and it stops you buying a binder you do not need yet.

What a Renal Diet Actually Changes

People resist the diet because it feels passive next to a bottle of something. It is the opposite.

A therapeutic kidney diet is not ordinary food with less protein. Per the American College of Veterinary Nutrition summary, the change with the best evidence is phosphorus: "Phosphorus restriction, independent of other nutritional factors, delays progression of CKD." Therapeutic diets run 0.4 to 1.2 g per 1000 kcal against more than 1.5 in maintenance food. Protein comes down too, "a reduction in dietary protein intake by 25% to 50%, based on severity of proteinuria, azotemia, and clinical signs." Omega-3 goes in at "40 mg/kg EPA plus 25 mg/kg DHA Q 24 H." And alkalinising agents such as potassium citrate go in to correct the acid build up that a failing kidney causes.

That last point is worth pausing on, because it explains something confusing about this shelf. The citrate syrups listed here are doing a job a renal diet already does. If your dog is eating a proper renal diet, ask before adding a citrate on top.

The practical problem with the diet is not the science, it is that dogs with kidney disease often feel sick and eat badly. Switch slowly, warm the food, and use the canned version to make the dry more appealing. A diet the dog refuses has no survival benefit at all.

What You Can Do That Costs Nothing

Two facts change how you should think about the daily routine.

The first is how late this disease announces itself. VCA Animal Hospitals: "At least two-thirds (67% to 70%) of the kidneys must be dysfunctional before any clinical signs are seen." By the time your dog is drinking more, most of the filtering tissue is already gone. That is why the diet matters from the day of diagnosis rather than when the dog looks unwell, and it is why an older dog's annual bloods are worth the money.

The second is that the drinking is compensation, not a problem to solve. A kidney that cannot concentrate urine dumps water, and the dog drinks to keep up. So: never restrict water for a dog with kidney disease, however inconvenient the accidents are. More bowls, in more rooms, topped up more often. In a Mumbai summer this is not a small intervention.

Weigh the dog weekly on the same scale and write it down. Weight loss is often the first thing that moves, and a number on a page beats a memory when your vet asks. Watch appetite, vomiting and gum colour, and take the list to appointments.

Phosphate Binders: When You Actually Need One

A phosphate binder is not a general canine kidney support product. It is a specific answer to a specific number.

The sequence is: restrict phosphorus through the diet first, retest, and only then add a binder. The ACVN guidance is precise about it, that "if hyperphosphatemia persists despite dietary phosphorus restriction, then an enteric phosphate binder... is recommended with each meal," and that "plasma phosphate concentrations should be monitored every 2 to 4 weeks."

Two details people get wrong. First, "with each meal" is literal. A binder works by grabbing phosphorus in the gut before it is absorbed, so a dose given away from food does close to nothing. Mix it into the meal. Second, this is monitored treatment. Binders are titrated against blood results, and a dog left on a fixed dose for a year without retesting is being managed on hope.

Phoslure on this page is sevelamer. Vivaldis Seveclear is the same molecule and is out of stock. Vetrina Renal Pet Syrup is lanthanum carbonate and is also out of stock. Our other renal collection carries the calcium carbonate and chitosan binders as well.

The Cranberry Question

Eight products in this collection are cranberry. We are not going to sell them to you on evidence that does not exist.

A 2026 systematic review by Weese and colleagues in the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics looked for trials of cranberry supplementation in dogs and cats and found three. One was reasonable, two were very small. The authors' summary of what the literature supports is, in their words, "we have no idea" whether these products work, and they are careful to add that this "does not mean cranberry is ineffective," only that "we don't have any data showing that they do work." The strongest of the three studies, in dogs with spinal cord disease, was stopped early because bacteriuria was numerically higher in the cranberry group.

So: cranberry is cheap, it is safe, and if your vet suggests trying it for a recurring bladder problem there is no reason to argue. What it is not is a treatment for a confirmed infection, and it is not renal support in any sense. A bacterial bladder infection is treated with the antibiotic a urine culture points to.

What Your Vet May Add

Two things commonly appear on a canine CKD prescription that are not filed in this collection, so people assume we do not have them.

Benazepril, for protein loss in the urine. We stock Aceptor 5 and Aceptor 10 at ₹70.31 and ₹89.06, both in stock, and the benazepril combinations. They sit in the cardiac range because that is their other use. Prescription only.

The renal diet, which as above is in the veterinary diets aisle rather than here.

If your vet has written either on a slip and you cannot find it on the site, message us the photo rather than assuming it is out of stock.

Questions We Get at the Counter

What is the best renal support for dogs you sell?
A therapeutic renal diet, from the veterinary diets aisle. It is the only intervention here with survival data. Everything else is added on top of it, not instead of it.

My dog is drinking a lot. Which kidney supplement should I start?
None yet. Increased thirst has several causes, kidney disease among them, and the test that separates them is cheap. Buy the blood and urine test first.

Is there a dog kidney medication I can buy without a prescription?
The over the counter items here are supplements and tonics, not medication. Anything on this page that genuinely acts as a drug, the diuretics, the citrates and the cinacalcet, needs a prescription and our checkout will ask for one.

Will cranberry help my dog's kidneys?
No. Cranberry is aimed at the bladder wall, and even for the bladder the veterinary evidence is thin, per a 2026 systematic review.

Can I give a phosphate binder just in case?
Please do not. Binders are given when blood phosphate stays high on a renal diet, dosed against test results and given with every meal. Lowering phosphate that is already normal is not a neutral act.

My dog will not eat the renal food.
Very common and worth working at. Switch over ten days rather than overnight, warm it, and mix in the canned version. Tell your vet if it fails, because there are several brands and dogs have preferences.

Do you have Ipakitine, Pronefra or Rubenal?
Yes, in our renal and urinary supplements collection rather than this one. Link at the foot of the page.

How often should the bloods be repeated?
Ask your vet, and expect it to be often. IRIS wants stability confirmed by a repeat test in two to four weeks, and phosphate is monitored every two to four weeks while a binder is being adjusted.
