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!

POROUS ONE
From Raleigh,NCComments about Porus One (Renaltec)My Vet suggested adding " Porous One" to my cat, Stanley' s Stage 3 kidney disease treatment. I was astonished at his next lab results one month later, he is now Stage 2. The improvement is very noticeable, he is at the water dish less often and less trips to the litter pan. I highly recommend adding" Porous One" as another important tool in treating kidney disease. It is easy to give, mix with food, Stanley has never refused it. "Porous One " has made a huge improvement in Stanley! Talk to your vet about this wonderful, product it works.-

So Far So Good
From UndisclosedComments about Porus One (Renaltec) 30 Packets (500mg Each)Been following this product being used in Europe and finally now in US. My cat Bandit has had CFD for 5 years and I have treated him with a number of herbal supplements and PhosBind for years. Low protein diet is out as he is a Serval. Been using two packs of Porus per day for last three weeks. Creatinine has dropped form 3.3 mg/dl to 2.4 mg/dl. Hoping to see a drop in Bun/Creatinine with continued use. Bandit is going on 21 so anything that can help is great. Now if I can Just find Chitosan DAC which in studies works even better I may be able to reduce his daily pill load.-

From UndisclosedComments about Porus One (Renaltec) 30 Packets (500mg Each)I purchased Porus One (Renaltec) on the advise of my Vet. There are few treatment options available for kidney disease in cats other than diet. I was thrilled to find this product for Stanley ! Last week we started Porous One, ( he ate this mixed with Churu with no problem) and subcutaneous fluids at stage 3, he was stage 2 a month ago. Our next lab test are in three weeks. Something is helping or both combined Stanley appetite is better and he is not constantly drinking water. Thank you !-

How do you get around the gritty texture? Any tips? I'd finally found a kidney diet food my Stage 3 girl loved, added this to a little bit of water before mixing it into the food, and now she won't touch her food even without Porus One in it! Please help :( Same happened when I then tried it on her dry food.?

Each packet of Porus One contains Renaltec which is a selective carbon-based absorber of protein byproducts. It is composed of tiny, black homogenous spheres. Each sphere has a smooth surface and is perforated by numerous pores leading to a branched channel system similar to the bronchi. This smooth surface assures an unimpeded passage through the GI tract, neither adhering to the mucosa nor accumulating in the intestine. Per the manufacturer, this product was designed to be given once daily with a meal. They only recommend administering the supplement with food being that other strategies, like a syringe, can carry the risk of aspiration or ineffective delivery of the medication. You must consult with your vet before starting this supplement. Also, it is recommended you speak with your veterinarian before any changes in the way you give Porus One to your cat.

According to the manufacturer, the Porus One powder can be poured over the dry food for administration. The powder should adhere to the pieces of food. Your veterinarian may provide specific instructions or recommendations for your cat; therefore, it is recommended to discuss administration issues with your veterinarian.

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.
