What is Azodyl?

Azodyl is a nutritional supplement for cats and dogs that reduces azotemia, an increased concentration of compounds that impair the kidneys ability to filter and eliminate waste. Azodyl requires refrigeration and must be kept at refrigerator temperatures at all times. To ensure proper temperature, it requires overnight shipping at an additional cost.
Azodyl Nutritional Supplement for Dogs and Cats
For: Cats and Dogs
 
Benefits:

Breakthrough product that focuses on the reduction of toxin buildup in the blood

Supports continued healthy kidney function

No reported side effects – can be safely used with conventional renal failure treatments
Helps animals feel better in as little as 48 hours

How it works:
Azodyl is a patented formulation of naturally-occurring beneficial bacteria that metabolizes and flushes out uremic toxins that have diffused into the bowel. It supports kidney function by providing natural enteric dialysis and slows down uremic toxin buildup in the blood to help prevent further kidney damage.

Cautions:
The Azodyl capsules should be given whole, not opened or crushed. Also allow easy access to fresh water during administration. Azodyl is a refrigerated item, so it requires overnight shipping at an additional cost.

A Liifesaver... Seriously. In October 2010, my 11-ish-year-old Bella hid under the bed for almost a solid week. When we were finally able to get her to come out, she could barely walk a straight line and even collapsed to the floor once or twice before I scooped her up a took her to our vet. She was diagnosed with acute kidney failure and spent 5 days in the hospital. The doctor started her on Azodyl twice a day, Epakitin once a day, and subcutaneous fluids every other day. We were able to stop the fluids after 3 months. (Actually, we HAD to stop the fluids: she had recovered so well that her fight was back in full force.) Nine months later, her labs were within normal limits. We almost lost her, but now we look forward to another few years with our girl. 04/22/2012
Excellent My 13 yr old pug Jasmine was recently diagnosed with kidney failure. She started vomiting and losing weight. My vet recommended Azodyl and Epakitin. He also put fluids under the skin and recommended k/d dogfood. She looks better than she has in months! We honestly didn't know if she could rebound but for now she is doing well. I also put pedialyte on her dogfood which has helped keep her hydrated. Azodyl is a GREAT product! Thank you so much for giving me more quality time with my girl! I will HIGHLY recommend this product! 02/13/2012
good stuff I am responsable for 8 cats in house all the time. My vet introduced me to this suppliment. Blacknose had been vometing a white foam. I started him on this med and so far so good. I like products like this because they don't have a bunch of chemicals listed a mile long. My thinking is the simpler the better. 01/15/2012
Effects of Azodyl Sheba my cat was diagnosed at age 13 with renal failure. I noticed she had been slowly loosing wt. then started vomiting on a regular basis. She was diagnosed on 4/8/09 and started on Azodyl at that time. It was touch and go for about 3 months. but she slowly improved. At this present time she has been on azodyl for 1.5 yrs. and is now eating up a storm and is bright and active. She is now 15.5 yrs. old. She is very difficult to give pills to so I to have to open the capsule and place it in her moist renal diet cat food. This method of administration was prescribed by my vet. This is an awesome drug and has allowed me to spend more time with my beloved pet and has given her quality of life back. 10/17/2011
I am amazed 17 year old Razz-a-ma-Taz suffers with hyperthroidism, high blood pressure, partial blindness from a stroke, cancer and kidney failure. He has been on Adozyl for one month and I am amazed at the turn around. Even after one week I knew something good was going on because the dandruff that accompanies hyperthroidism disappeared. He has gained weight and enjoys his daily walk with me. I know Adozyl is not a cure but I am so grateful that my vet recommended this for Taz. It's making his life so much better. 10/03/2011

Q: 
I am a bit confused. If the delivery system is interfered with by opening the capsule then how can pill pockets work as the animal will chew the pill pocket and the capsule inside it as well?

Answers

A: 
Thank you for your question. You are correct the capsule should not be opened or chewed. Pill pockets are great because they are like a treat and cats and dogs dont chew their food they swallow it. The pill pocket is great because the pet will swallow it whole and it will be digested as a caplet. Give your furry pal a belly rub from us.

The new Azodyl 90 count bottles are formulated as smaller capsules. They are "2 times smaller" than the capsules
In the 60 ct bottle. They are smaller for easier administration to smaller dogs and cats. They are the same dose per
Capsule, just different size capsules.

Q: 
i could not get my tiny cat to take that huge capsule without a herculean struggle and great physical harm [to myself!]. she would eat the pill pocket off the pill, so i have started opening the capsule and plugging the open end with the pill pocket, both to seal the capsule & make it more difficult to eat away the pocket. i am hoping this maintains the capsule for enteric delivery--any thoughts from the pharmacists?

A: 
Opening or crushing the Azodyl capsule compromises the delivery system of the drug. Capsules should be given whole, not opened or crushed. Azodyl now comes in a smaller capsule to ease administration to your pet. If necessary, administer with a piece of the animal's favorite food or treat.

Axodyl in food

Q: 
I was told that I could open a capsule and mix with my cat's food and that it wouldn't necessarily need to be consumed immediately. After reading some of the questions and answers here, I see that that is not true. I would never be able to give to my cat whole. Oral syringe is bad enough and that was a daily challenge and source of stress when I tried giving Rubenal orally. So basically I can effectively throw the bottle in the trash, right?
