The NOW Pets Kidney Support Supplement shows mixed results. While some users report significant improvements in their pets' health, others face issues with smell and potential stomach upset. The product has a strong bacon smell that some pets dislike, and there are concerns about high phosphorous content affecting kidney health.

"This stuff is amazing! I have three cats. One is 12 one is 5 one is 3... Notice a HUGE DIFFERENCE in all of them... The 12 year old (poor) is actually up running up and down the stairs chasing the other cats! No vomit from any of them except normal hairballs. They all have shown improvement."
