Question about Tripsy for Pet Kidney Disease
"I recently purchased tripsy for 16 year old recently with kidney disease. How safe is this product. After picking up a pamphlet at the vets for plants that are dangerous for small animals. I noticed 3 of the ingredient on the list are in this product.
We gave this to our cat for few days. How long does take to see a difference?
How does this product work? We also have her on fluid therapy. Is still good for her with it having a diuretic in it?

Hello Dixie,
All of the N.H.V. products were formulated by a natural vet who is schooled in herbalism. All of the products have been reviewed for toxicity in pets, and the dosages have been arranged based on body weight.
I also know that different parts of plants are poisonous. For example the leaf of a certain plant may be toxic by the root is fine. This may be the case in some of the herbs that you have questions about.
By the end of the third week the Tripsy will be at its full potency. At that time you will be able to see the full effect that the product will have on your pet.
This is a companion product to fluid therapy, so they can be used at the same time. Although Tripsy does contain diuretic herbs, it has been formulated to work with the other ingredients in the product, to balance out the urinary output.
I have copied the ingredients from the website so you can see specifically what the different herbs are doing.
Stone Root: Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, acts as tonic for the capillaries, prevents kidney calculi formation in dogs.
Breakstone Parsley: Diuretic, soothes irritated or inflamed tissues.
Wild Hydrangea: Urinary antiseptic, soothes irritated tissues and reduces formation of urinary calculi in dogs.
Gravel Root: A restorative and cleansing herb that acts especially on a dog's genitourinary organs.
Marshmallow: Anti-inflammatory; controls bacterial infection; soothes and softens irritated tissues.
Oregon grape: Contains alkaloids (berberine, berbamine, and hydrastine), resins and tannins; has demonstrated antibiotic and immunostimulatory activities.
Purple Coneflower: Inhibits bacterial formation of hyaluronidase, induces production of interferon; alterative, immunostimulant, promotes lymphocyte activities and stimulates phagocytosis.
Together the products work to increase the health of the kidneys allowing them to increase their efficiency in doing the job they are now laboring to do.

I also purchased Tripsy for my cat that was recently diagnosed with kidney failure.
After a few days of giving him Tripsy, I noticed that he was listless and throwing up more.
Then I found that some of the ingredients in Tripsy were actually poisonous to cats(including hydrangea--all parts of the plant).
The answer that was given to the last email regarding this subject showed the benefits of each of the ingredients for small animals--but it only stated the benefits for DOGS.
Dogs and cats are completely different, and it should be common sense that they shouldn't be given the same product (especially since different things are poisonous to each of them).
Please stop making this product and marketing it as if it can actually help cats in renal failure and people who's pets have been diagnosed with a devastating terminal disease.
It's hard enough to deal with your cat's dianosis. But then you think that you found a product that might help and extend your pet's life, when in reality the product actually poisons them.
