What is Porus One for Cats by Dechra?
- Porus One is used to support kidney health in your cat.
- Porus One binds protein digestion byproducts in the intestines where they are excreted in the feces.
Why is Porus One Used for Cats?
- After protein is metabolized, the uremic toxin precursors indole and p-cresol are produced and normally excreted by the kidneys.
- Porus One contains a selective carbon-based adsorber that binds these products in the gut.
- This binding process helps prevent the byproducts from being converted into uremic toxins, which supports kidney health.
What else should I know about Porus One?
- Porus one is composed of tiny, black spheres that are perforated by many pores. These pores are so tiny that only very small molecules, such as uremic toxins, can enter the sphere.
- Particles such as vitamins and enzymes are too large to enter the pores. Therefore, these particles do not get absorbed by Porus One.
- Porus One is suitable for cats of all ages.
- Porus One is tasteless and odorless and can be easily administered at mealtime.
- It is normal for a thin layer of Porus One to remain inside the packet.
- Porus One should be stored at room temperature.
- Opened packets are to be used immediately.
What problems could my cat have with Porus One?
- If your animal’s condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.
- Fresh water should always be available to your cat.
How do you use Porus One?
- Under the direction of a veterinarian, administer one packet (500 mg) daily at mealtime per cat.
- If your cat takes oral medications, administer Porus One two hours after administering those medications.
What is in Porus One?
- Porus One contains Renaltec, a selective carbon-based adsorber of protein byproducts in the gut.
Will I get what I see in the picture?
- Porus One is a brand name. You will receive the exact brand that you request.
Is it important for my cat to finish all of the Porus One?
- Dogs and cats may use this product for different lengths of time. Please consult your veterinarian if you have any questions.
Who makes Porus One?
- Porus One is made by the manufacturer Dechra.

Proven Effective
We have male cat that is just about 14 years old. He's lived a great life with very little health issues. A few months ago, we brought him in for routine yearly check and decided to do bloodwork as well since he is aging, losing a bit of weight and we could see noticeably slowing down. The results came back, and like many cats his age had indicators of signs of a deteriorating kidney function. We spoke with our vet and agreed to do a combination (KD \ Renal care) food and holistic approach to help slow down the progression. As most cat guardians know you don't reverse kidney failure, you only do your best to slow it down as much as possible. It has been a few months since being on the diet and Porus One. He's put a bit of the weight back on his energy is back to when he was younger. He has taken this with no issue in the morning with breakfast. Highly recommend for anyone looking to not just take medication. We'll continue to give as long as he accepts this with food. We are sure this helped give our beloved "big fuzzy guy" much relief!! I certainly recommend to any who does research, speaks with vet and confirms this is a worthwhile approach.

Hope!
One of my cats, 8 years old, has Stage 4 Feline CKD. Porus One was recommended by a number of people on the Feline CKD Facebook page as having helped their cat, so with my vet's ok we are trying it. Stripey will not have bloodwork for two months so we will not know until then if it is helping her kidneys. Fingers crossed!

I haven't been able to have her labs checked since starting Renaltec, but I have noticed she is vomiting much less and has a bit more pep in her step. I really do think this has helped her and I am eager to see where her levels are at in a few months. Thanks! -
Increased quality of life for 18yr old CKD cat
From Chicago, ILComments about Porus One (Renaltec)This supplement has made a world of difference for my advanced CKD cat. She went from constantly needing anti-nausea/appetite stimulants to eating normally and only occasionally needing anti-nausea pills. Other brands have not worked. -

Will it work for dogs also??

At this time, Porus One is labeled for use in cats only.
Verified Answer -
According to their Facebook- Porus One, if you joined them, which I joined, there are pet parents that gave these to their dogs too. You may ask them question and they respond right away. Porus One helped my cat's ckd to be stabilized. Her vet told me that whatever I am doing, continue it as it is helping my cat. I give this together with Rehmania 6.

Since this is carbon-based and to be given away from medications presumably to avoid absorbing it, does Porus One also absorb the nutrients in cat food or reduce the vitamins and minerals of the food? If not, why not??
-
According to the manufacturer, if your cat takes oral medications, administer Porus One two hours after administering those medications. Porus One does not absorb vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from the diet and is intended to be administered directly with food. Porus One has precisely measured pores on the surface of the Renaltec® carbon spheres. These pores are highly selective to allow the precursors of uraemic toxins to enter the inner channel system, but not important nutritional elements. Vitamins, vital substances, and cells cannot pass through into the carbon spheres because they are too big.
Verified Answer -
No, it will NOT absorb the other nutrients or minerals, because the pores of toxins are too small, so only toxins will be absorbed by the Porus One to excrete in the stools. You need to give 2 hours apart the Porus One from all the supplements. I have been using this for my cat since Nov. 2020 (my brother in UK) shipped them to me, and since then-my cat's creatinine stayed at 2.7 stable ckd. I am so thankful, it is now available in US. You can read and join more in their Facebook Porus One. I joined that and they respond right away. Hope it helps.

Is this a 500mg of a tasteless odorless gel? 1 packet once a day? How is it administered? Can it be mixed with a bit of canned cheese whiz if necessary? Thank you!?
-
Porus One is tasteless and odorless, and is administered to cats once daily. Porus One is composed of small, solid spheres. Porus One can be given with any standard food your cat likes, but also with any kind of special diet. If your cat eats dry food only, you may offer Porus One in a very small amount of moist food or in a cat-paste.
Verified Answer -
Need to give 2 hours apart from all medications.
