Country of Origin:
Italy

Dosage form:

Palatable oral powder / Complementary feed

Presentation:

70 g Powder

240 g and a 15 ml palatable paste formulation also available.

Ingredients & Composition:

Calcium Carbonate + Calcium Lactogluconate (Phosphorus Binders) | Chitosan (Phosphorus & Nitrogen Toxin Reducer) | Sodium Bicarbonate (Oral Alkalising Agent)

The current detailed formulation information additionally identifies maltodextrin, calcium carbonate, calcium salts of organic acids (calcium lactogluconate), chitosan, sodium bicarbonate, sodium pyrophosphate, yeast and lupine protein meal. It also lists colloidal silica as an additive and vitamin E.

Description / Action:

Renal P Powder for dogs and cats supports phosphorus control and acid-base balance in CKD with calcium salts, chitosan and sodium bicarbonate.

In kidney disease, too much phosphorus speeds up kidney damage — Renal P binds phosphorus in the gut before it’s absorbed, and buffers the blood acidity that makes kidney disease worse

Candioli describes Renal P as providing calcium salts, sodium bicarbonate and chitosan to help maintain normal metabolic conditions and a proper balance between intestinal absorption and renal excretion of phosphate and calcium. It is a complementary feed for dogs and cats.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Calcium Salts Trap Dietary Phosphorus
Bind to phosphorus from food in the intestine so it passes out in stools instead of being absorbed

Chitosan Reduces Nitrogen Toxins Too
Naturally reduces absorption of phosphorus AND nitrogen waste molecules — double protection

Sodium Bicarbonate Corrects Blood Acidity
Kidney disease causes metabolic acidosis — sodium bicarbonate is the first-choice oral alkalising agent

Palatable Powder — Easy to Give
Just mix into food once daily — your pet won’t notice it, but their kidneys will benefit

Used in CKD Stages 2, 3 and 4
Designed for use in intermediate to advanced kidney disease stages alongside Renal N

The above key-highlight wording is retained from the uploaded folio.

Class:

Veterinary renal nutraceutical / complementary feed / intestinal phosphate binder and alkalising supplement

Indication / Uses:

High Phosphorus in Blood (Hyperphosphatemia):
One of the most damaging consequences of kidney failure — Renal P controls it effectively

Metabolic Acidosis from Kidney Disease:
When kidneys can’t balance blood pH — sodium bicarbonate restores the correct acid-base balance

CKD Stages 2, 3 and 4 (IRIS Staging):
Used alongside Renal N in intermediate to advanced kidney disease management

These indications are reproduced from the uploaded product folio.

Clinical clarification:
Renal P should be considered a supportive phosphate-binding/alkalising supplement, not a standalone treatment for CKD. IRIS recommends dietary phosphorus restriction as a core component of CKD management; an intestinal phosphate binder may be added when serum phosphorus remains above the stage-appropriate target despite dietary management.

Dosage and administration:

The product also specifies 0.2 g/kg body weight daily, one small scoop per 2.5 kg or one large scoop per 10 kg, and administration with food.

Current product directions likewise specify 0.2 g/kg/day, corresponding to one small measure every 2.5 kg or one large measure every 10 kg. The daily amount can be divided into 2–3 administrations according to the number of main meals, and administration with wet food is preferred.

Administration instructions:

• Mix Renal P into the usual food ration.
• Preferably mix with wet food.
• If feeding dry food only, slightly moisten the food to improve adhesion of the powder and ensure complete intake.
• The daily dose may be divided into 2–3 administrations according to the number of main meals.
• Use in cycles of 30 days according to the veterinarian’s instructions.
• Unlimited/fresh water should be available.

Overdoses / Side effects / Contraindications / Warnings:

Overdose:
Avoid exceeding the recommended dose. Excessive phosphate-binder administration can cause adverse effects associated with absorption of the cations contained in the binder, including calcium. IRIS specifically notes this risk with intestinal phosphate binders.

Side effects:
No specific adverse-effect profile is listed by Candioli in the official product information reviewed.

Because Renal P contains calcium salts, monitor for abnormalities in calcium balance during prolonged use.

Contraindications / Important cautions:

• • Known hypersensitivity to any component.
  • Use cautiously in patients with hypercalcaemia or conditions predisposing to hypercalcaemia.
  • Calcium-containing phosphate binders can contribute to hypercalcaemia; IRIS recommends monitoring serum ionized calcium when calcium-containing phosphate binders are used.
  • Use under veterinary supervision in patients with CKD.

Warnings:

• • Renal P is a complementary feed, not a pharmaceutical treatment for CKD.
  • It should not replace an appropriate renal diet.
  • Serum phosphorus should be monitored to determine whether phosphate control is adequate.
  • Serum calcium should be monitored during long-term use.
  • Metabolic acidosis should ideally be confirmed by appropriate biochemical/acid-base assessment before supplementation with an alkalising agent.
  • CKD treatment should be individualized according to IRIS stage and the patient’s biochemical, nutritional and clinical status.

Pharmaceutical precautions / Instructions:

• • For veterinary use only.
  • Complementary feed for dogs and cats.
  • Mix with food.
  • Preferably mix with wet food.
  • If feeding dry food only, slightly moisten the food before adding the powder.
  • Administer the daily dose with meals.
  • Ensure free access to fresh drinking water.
  • Store in a cool, dry place and protect from light and heat.
  • Keep the container properly closed after use.
  • Keep out of reach of children and animals.
  • Not intended for human consumption.

Safety: Age / Pregnancy / Withdrawal:

Age:
Renal P is a complementary feed for dogs and cats; no specific minimum age is stated on the current official product page.

Pregnancy / Lactation:
Use during pregnancy or lactation should therefore be based on veterinary assessment.

Withdrawal:
Not applicable for dogs and cats.

Monitoring during treatment:

• Serum phosphorus
• Total and preferably ionized calcium
• Serum bicarbonate/acid-base status when metabolic acidosis is being managed
• Creatinine and/or SDMA
• UPC where proteinuria is present
• Blood pressure
• Body weight and nutritional status

IRIS emphasizes monitoring serum phosphorus and adjusting dietary/phosphate-binder therapy according to the patient’s response.

Substitute:

Closest Candioli alternatives:

• • Renal COMBI — combines calcium salts, chitosan and sodium bicarbonate with additional renal-support components including fructo-oligosaccharides, olive oil polyphenols, Lactobacillus acidophilus and vitamins.
  • Renal P Paste — same principal Renal P ingredients in a palatable 15 ml paste formulation; useful when administration of powder with food is difficult.
  • Renal N Powder and Paste — different renal-support formulation containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, olive extract and fructo-oligosaccharides; more focused on intestinal/nitrogenous waste and antioxidant support than phosphate binding.

Other phosphate-binder alternatives:
Calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, aluminium hydroxide, lanthanum-containing products and other veterinary phosphate binders may be used in CKD, but they are not direct formulation equivalents to Renal P. Choice should depend on serum phosphorus, calcium status, diet and the individual patient’s clinical requirements.
