Virbac Pronefra Kidney Function for Dogs & Cats Oral Suspension

What is Virbac Pronefra used for?

Maintaining healthy kidney function is crucial to your pet’s health and well-being. Chronic kidney disease is a common condition in dogs and cats, especially as they age. This progressive disease leads to a buildup of toxic waste products in the body, affecting your pet’s energy levels, appetite, and quality of life. To slow this decline, it is essential to control phosphorus intake and help eliminate uremic toxins.

Pronefra® is an advanced scientific formulation developed by Virbac. It combines several natural ingredients carefully selected for their protective effect on kidney function. Its highly palatable oral suspension form makes it easy to administer and ensures optimal compliance, even in the most finicky animals.

The main benefits of Pronefra® are based on:

• Effective chelation of dietary phosphorus: Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate bind to phosphorus in the diet, thereby reducing its intestinal absorption. This action is essential for limiting the accumulation of phosphorus in the blood, which contributes to the progression of kidney failure.
• Elimination of uremic toxins: Chitosan, a natural ingredient derived from crustacean shells, is known for its ability to trap certain uremic toxins in the digestive tract, limiting their entry into the bloodstream.
• Blood pressure support: A marine-derived oligopeptide helps maintain balanced blood pressure, which is essential for protecting kidney function.
• Excellent palatability: Recognizing that cats and dogs with kidney disease may lose their appetite, Virbac has developed a particularly tasty formula to ensure easy and consistent intake.
• Convenient packaging: The suspension comes with a graduated dosing syringe, making it easy to follow the dosage instructions and allowing for direct administration into the animal’s mouth or mixing with food.

Daily use of Pronefra® thus helps slow the progression of kidney failure, reduce the risk of complications, and improve the quality of life for affected dogs and cats. For optimal support, it can be combined with Vetoquinol Ipakitine Oral Powder, another recognized solution for managing kidney disorders.
