I recommend to call the makers of the renal support. They will be able to give you the best information about any potential overdose issues. Depending on the amount of potassium potentially in the supplement, this could create too much potassium in your dog’s system and this could be detrimental to his heart (and even fatal). The pet poison control hotline may also be another good resource. Start making your phone calls quickly so that vomiting can be induced if needed. I hope this helps and that your pup does well.
