K-CIT-V Potassium Citrate Chewable Tablets for Dogs - 100 ct.

My dog has had surgery 3 times for stones. I had been using another brand of potassium citrate to manage pH levels that, like most supplements that claim to help to prevent stones, had cranberry added. My vet advised that cranberry is actually high in oxalates and I should stop using anything with cranberry. This is one of the only that I have found to be cranberry free. Time will tell if it's effective. I will update at a later date.

Needed Potassium Citrate for my dog to increase the pH of his urine and hopefully bond to the calcium oxidate crystals. The pills are handy because if you are trying to find the correct dosage you can grind them up in a mortar and pestle and use a "jeweler's" scale to get the right amount. For example Ted is 14 lb terrier. I give him 1.8g three times a day ~6AM, 2pm, 9 pm. I measure out a bunch in some old spice jars for a couple of days in advance. That keeps him in a pretty balanced space. As the other reviewers noted, just need pH strips to adjust. All of the other options are prescription and pretty expensive.

I wasn’t sure what to make of these when I first opened the bottle. They look like oversized pills and I wondered how I was supposed to give them to my tiny Cavalier King Charles. I did not have to wonder for long, however, because as soon as my dog smelled them, she came running to try one. She absolutely loves them, and although I purchased them for the health benefits, I now use them as a treat for her. I like them because they seem to be excellent quality, perform well, and were a great value for the money!

Using to eliminate crystals in our small dog's urine and for kidney health. Will know how well these are working in next urinalysis in 2 wks. Got these to replace the Potassium Citrate Plus Cranberry by Pala Tech because our dog didn't like the cranberry taste of those and it was such a chore to get him to ingest them. Pills are big and we need to crush them into powder and put it in his food to get him to eat them. He still doesn't like his food as much, but at least he'll eat it. Much easier/less stressful to get him to take this Potassium Citrate without the cranberry.

Works great for my dog's urine ph

I started getting these two yrs ago for my now 12 yr old schnoodle. He had to undergo surgery for his calcium oxalate bladder stones. They removed at least 30 stones. I must say these are amazing he has not had any stones in over two yrs. he is 45 pounds and the bottle recommends 1 per ten pound but he only needs three. I used testing strips to see how acidic his urine was to decide how many to give him. The vet also put him on a low protein diet with no dry food. The health science food was what she recommended but we went with reg canned food not prescription and everything seems to b fine. So all in all I would defiantly recommend these if ur dog is experiencing calcium oxalate bladder stones due to high acidic urine.

Gave the dog diarrhea

I normally don't write reviews, however, I'd like to tell people who own dogs that have been diagnosed with Calcium Oxalate bladder/kidney stones, this product (along with proper diet - can't stress enough) has cured my dog of all stones, proven through x-ray, in my 13 year old ShihTzu. It was astonishing to see they were gone - she was able to pass them - and most importantly - not form new ones by adding one tablet twice per day. This is against all odds - I've been repeatedly told this condition is incurable and will have to be surgically removed every few years to avoid this excruciating painful disease. (She had expensive surgery to remove at 5 years of age.). Vet K-Cit-V has kept my pet free of stones for the past 8 years. This product is a Godsend. A must if your pet has Calcium Oxalate stones!
