Lixit Handfeeding Syringe, 35-mL

I ordered 6 of these feeding syringes. Unfortunately, this is not the type I found at a retail store and feeding is extremely messy--see photo. Photo 1: Chewy Photo 2: Retail The Chewy syringe does not have the finger base that allows me to easily use hand pressure to compress the food through the tube--no finger grip. As expected, it is slippery when wet and since it does not have the wider based for hand coordination, you have a difficult time pressing the food through the tube. So when I press my thumb there is nothing for my pointer finger and middle finger to grasp. The wider base allows me to easily administer food to my senior pets and not make much of a mess.

Thankfully, I don't need to use this at this time. It's one of those items I want to have available "just in case" a need for it arises. It will be added to my dog's first aid kit.

Great feeding syringe. Smooth plunger that has held up through repeated sanitizing. Easy to read and use. One of the better ones out there.

Good product, but needed smaller syringe for neonatal kittens. 12cc or smaller. I could not find smaller from Chewy.

The packaging says it's for handfeeding "baby" animals, but I feel this is a bit misleading. I ordered this hoping to use it for giving our underweight cat his vitamin gel since he won't touch wet foods. This thing is way too big for that. I can see maybe using it for "babies" of large breeds, but not for smaller animals. The tapered tip is big enough to gag an adult cat if I tried to feed him from this.

I bought three of these to feed an ailing cat. They each worked two or three times, then the plunger gets stuck. It won’t budge unless you force it so hard the food in it spews all over. Will NOT buy again. This seems to be a common problem with the rubber-ringed syringes. I am trying one with a silicone ring from another source.

It was a bit bigger than I expected (I should have read the description better), but very easy to use and has a wide enough opening for soft food or gel medication

These are very difficult to you after the first time. They stick and do not operate smoothly. Spend the extra money and buy the ones with a silicone ring.

I bought this for my eldest cat and in the review it says can help feed babies. My cat is not a baby. This syringe is for large dogs or maybe a horse. I would not buy this if you need it for small animals.

I actually bought this for my son who was upset that I cleaned out my supply of medicine syringes. I had a variety of them from years past in my kitchen drawer. Little did I know that he liked to use them for working on his cars! I ordered this one to appease him. He said it's nice, but he'd like one a bit smaller (not the smallest ones that they make - one in the middle).
