TW pet loss below: These IV fluids saved me so much money & time when taking care of my 18yr old senior kitty who was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease a few years back. Unfortunately, today I lost her to intestinal cancer that she was more recently diagnosed with, so I had to remove this from my autoship & realized I never left a review. I’ve had her since she was a kitten not even old enough to be spayed yet- & I will miss her more than words can say. I recommend anyone who has a situation similar to mine, or any animal who needs frequent fluids for health to get this product & save money rather than getting it from a vet directly. Make sure to get the tube to go with it & the needles as well, I forgot those the very first time I got the bag itself. YouTube videos also helped me with setting it all up & administering it, as well as talking with my vet. Best wishes to whomever may be reading.
I started receiving my Subcutaneous Fluids last month. It's so much more convenient receiving them at home. I never have to worry about running out. They are also a lot less expensive than elsewhere.
My Cat Tiger was diagnosed with Lymphoma mass /cancer and we fight against it. So nice and easy to have the option to treat him at home 1000 times better than at any vet hospital specifically for pet's that are not used to be out and without they're owners like my Tiger boy .fluids are very good option to keep them hydrated
I ordered this so I wouldn't have to keep going to my cat's vet to get it. It works fine using the same tubes / connections that the other one did from Vetivex.
Was able to purchase this much less expensive than from my vet. Came very well wrapped in outer wrap and then rolled in bubble wrap! Ordered 6 at a time since it looks like my senior CKD kitty will need about 2 bags a month. Will continue to order to keep my baby hydrated.
I've given this to my cat for yrs. And horses and other animals. I've always just walked into vets office or a farmers tractor supply store and bought it without a script.
This medication is keeping my 18 year old kitty healthy and able to enjoy life. I am so glad I was able to obtain it at home.
Product is excellent for my KD dog if you can get the pharmacy to do their part. He has to have 1,000 ml 3very day and now I have to try to get another renew through. Too stressful...
The bag is very strong and easily accessed with the line insert. I really like the increments on the bag, as every 50 ml has a line. It is performing as expected as it empties and easy to read how much has been used and how much remains.
I love Chewy as my orders arrive quickly and always what I expected.
