This good boy is Charles Thickens. Don’t be fooled by his grumpy-looking face; Charles loves his family and they love him back, even though he sometimes gives them a bit of cattitude!
For eleven years, Charles’ owner Jon has taken care of this sassy-looking cat, giving him lots of love and care. However, as many cats will (an estimated 30-40% of cats over 10 years old), Charles developed Feline Kidney Disease. This condition can make daily life more difficult for cats, but thankfully though, Charles had Jon to help him.
A chance meeting with a street kitten led Jon and his wife to find Charles Thickens! Walking right up to the couple as they were walking around, Charles seemed to practically choose them to be his forever family then and there!
About 11 years ago now, my wife and I were walking one night through a neighborhood. We heard a kitten meowing from the distance and saw this baby running towards the front porch of a home. He immediately started rubbing his head against our legs and rolling around on the ground playing!
While Jon and his wife debated whether or not to keep this little furry wonder, Jon clearly lost that debate – but he couldn’t be happier to! Charles Thickens became family, and the rest is history.
The love for Charles Thickens only grew with age. However, along with age, sometimes new health and wellness challenges appear. For Charles, this was Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
CKD in cats is an abnormality of kidney function, which can make fur kiddos uncomfortable. The symptoms include lethargy, increased thirst and urination, decreased appetite and weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and more.

For Charles, there weren’t any obvious signs except for some weight loss. When his family took him to the vet, it was really shocking to learn that his numbers were so low that his vet didn’t expect him to live much longer.
True enough, Charles’ condition grew worse despite treating his condition with their veterinarian’s recommendations. His hind legs became limp, he stopped eating and drinking, and he had to be carried to the litter box. It must have been incredibly difficult to see their fur baby like that.
We didn’t want to give up, cause that’s what it felt like, but we couldn’t watch him like this. He declined so fast.
One night, Jon’s wife came across an ad for NHV. The two researched more, and chose to try Tripsy, our natural formula for pets with kidney and bladder troubles.
Tripsy is a vet-formulated and vet-approved natural support for pets like Charles. Tripsy has Stone Root, Parsley Piert, Wild Hydrangea, Gravel Root, Echinacea Purpurea, Marshmallow, and Oregon Grape, which may help with inflammation, kidney repair, and more.
Herbal formulas like Tripsy may be used alongside your veterinarian’s recommendations, so long as it is spaced at least a couple hours apart from vet-prescribed meds.
In the first few days, Jon noticed small improvements in Charles. He wasn’t as lethargic and seemed to become more aware. After even more time, he was back to walking. And after about 2 weeks, the changes were even more apparent; Charles was eating, drinking, running around, and even playing!
I’m not saying this is a miracle medicine, but it was for us and we’re going strong. Charles Thickens was diagnosed and given days to live. That was almost 8 months ago and he’s doing better each day!
It is no doubt a difficult journey to help a cat with CKD, but Jon and family prove that there are always things that we can do to help our fur kiddos feel more like themselves again, and it fills our hearts with joy to have played a role in helping this special cat feel better.
If you have a cat with CKD or other special health concerns, we can help give recommendations, tips, and dietary advice for pets dealing with a disease. Simply use the button below to get started – we can’t wait to meet you and your fur kiddo!

If your little one is always thirsty and needs to pee constantly, is losing weight and is vomiting regularly, they may be suffering from kidney failure. Our Kidney Failure Super Support Kit contains a blend of natural ingredients to help support both acute and chronic kidney disease. It is also beneficial for the liver.
If your little one is always thirsty and needs to pee constantly, is losing weight and is vomiting regularly, they may be suffering from kidney failure. Our Kidney Failure Super Support Kit contains a blend of natural ingredients to help support both acute and chronic kidney disease. It is also beneficial for the liver.
There are two types of kidney failure in dogs and cats: acute and chronic. Acute kidney failure is when the kidney rapidly deteriorates from your pet ingesting something toxic like grapes, ibuprofen, or antifreeze. There is no known cause for chronic kidney failure, but this condition develops when your pet's kidneys lose functionality over time.
There is no cure for kidney disease, but if caught early and with lots of love and care, you can manage symptoms of renal failure in dogs and cats and give your furkiddos the best quality of life possible. Keeping your little one hydrated is the biggest concern. Switching your pet to a kidney-friendly diet, having fresh water available, and adding nutritional supplements can greatly improve the quality of your little one's life. Administering IV fluids to your four-legged friend may also be necessary to improve hydration levels.
Kidney disease symptoms in pets can overlap with other health conditions such as diabetes in pet and urinary tract stones, so if you notice any of the symptoms listed below, you will want to bring your little one to the vet for some tests.
Tripsy, Milk Thistle and Turmeric all work together to strengthen the liver and kidneys, soothe inflammation, and help heal damaged tissue.
It’s great to know that there are ways to support your little one’s health naturally! All NHV products use only the finest organic, wild-crafted ingredients and formulated by the combined efforts of a master herbalist and veterinarian with 50+ years of experience. If you have any questions about renal failure in dogs and cats or need any holistic advice, please get in touch with an NHV pet expert!
Made with the finest, organically grown, or ethically harvested herbs. Made specifically for pets, vet-formulated and vet approved.

For any of your furry friends suffering from an adrenal gland disorder, our Adrenal Support Essentials Gold kit is the bare bones kit that is formulated to provide multiple organ support and alleviate symptoms.
For any of your furry friends suffering from an adrenal gland disorder, our Adrenal Support Essentials Gold kit is the bare bones kit that is formulated to provide multiple organ support and alleviate symptoms.
In cats and dogs, adrenal gland problems may be tricky to detect early on and, if left untreated, may develop into more severe health problems later on. The adrenal glands may be small, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the body's hormonal balance. In a healthy body, the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) can detect dwindling cortisol levels. As a response, the pituitary gland secretes ACTH, a substance that stimulates the adrenal gland to release more cortisol. When the pituitary gland detects that cortisol levels are normal, it stops sending messages.
You can think of the pituitary gland as a smart device for cortisol levels. ACTH secretion occurs throughout the day and regulates the ebb and flow of cortisol levels. The adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, and hypothalamus glands work together to support proper digestion and immune function, and most importantly, they regulate the body's response to stress. As any pet parent knows, dogs and cats can be drama kings and queens when it comes to any changes to their routine or diet. Stress may also be caused by something psychological, like staying at a kennel. When your dog is stressed, their adrenal glands produce hormones that trigger a fight or flight response. This primitive reaction can be a lifesaver in many dangerous situations. Yet, problems may arise when your dog's adrenal system malfunctions due to releasing too much or too little adrenal hormones.
Typical symptoms of an adrenal gland disorder are depression, vomiting, hair loss, and weight fluctuations. To help support your pet, we would recommend a holistic aid that will help to restore the immune system and gently stimulate the endocrine system to normalize hormone production. Supraglan is a blend of natural ingredients specially formulated to add immune support and help to restore normal hormone levels. Ingredients like astragalus and licorice help improve energy levels and water levels, borage helps to promote hair growth, and wild yam helps to stimulate adrenal gland function and calm excitability. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver and kidney function. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and has been used for centuries to protect the liver from harmful toxins and encourage regeneration.
At NHV, we know that your pets are your family so we have made it our mission to provide the best natural supplements possible! With only the best organic and wildcrafted ingredients, our master herbalist and holistic vet have created all of our formulations specifically for pets!
