Frequently Asked Questions
When should my dog or cat start taking PhosAvast?
Veterinarians may recommend PhosAvast for any pet with elevated phosphorus levels but still in the normal range. It can also be considered for senior pets over 7 years of age as part of a proactive approach to renal health, especially when paired with AminAvast. Talk to your veterinarian about when to begin.
My pet is already on medications and supplements. Can I still give PhosAvast?
Discuss any changes to your pet’s supplement regimen with your veterinarian.
How do I administer PhosAvast?
PhosAvast comes in an easy-to-use sprinkle capsule. Simply open the capsule at mealtime. In a palatability study, 92% of cats readily accepted PhosAvast.
Can PhosAvast be used with any diet?
Yes. PhosAvast works with all diets, including commercial, vet-recommended renal, and home-prepared diets.
Can I give PhosAvast and AminAvast together?
Absolutely. PhosAvast captures phosphorus before it can reach the kidneys. AminAvast supports the kidney cells themselves. Many veterinarians recommend using both as part of a comprehensive kidney care plan.
What makes PhosAvast different from other phosphate binders?
PhosAvast uses a proprietary blend of three phosphate-binding ingredients (Calcium Carbonate, Chitosan, and Magnesium Carbonate), each working through a different mechanism. PhosAvast’s combination captures phosphorus in the gut before it can reach the kidneys.
