Great stuff
I have been giving my indoor cats 1/8 tsp of this every morning with their wet food. Absolutely no taste so cats don't even notice it. More importantly, I take care of 3 feral cats and being outside with other cats makes them more susceptible to URI's. In the 3 years that I've been feeding them, this goes in their food every day and I have never seen one of them with running eyes or sneezing. It is reasonably priced and easily mixable. I am very pleased with the results!!
Overly sensitive cat's
Dr Barbara Royal, DVM. This has been miracle to Kiki I felt like a failure when I adopted him. The food, certain types of materials even flea collars would leave tiny sores. He luvs the Now l-lysine high protein pate's and Johnson & Johnson baby powder for his itchy skin. It's been a battle ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Vet recommended, human pleased
Our vet recommended putting our kitties in Lysine. The one i was buying was almost $30 for a small jar. I searched chewy and found the Now brand for a third ofthe price n had more ounces. My kitties love it, their huma. Highly recommends this brand !!!
Cat with runny nose, eyes, wheezing
A young male cat adopted me 4 months ago. He has been wheezing and had discharge from his eyes and nose with sporadic sneezing ever since. I had a vet administrator a injection (don't know what kind) for possible correction to no avail, so my internet research led me to this L-Lysine granulated product. I (self prescribed) 250mg 2x/day mixed in with soft cat food available from Chewy topped on top of dry Kibble. After the 1st 4 days I noticed improvement. It's been 16 days at the same dosing and frequently and I'm continuing to see improvement. I forgot to mention that his stools were also loose until this morning when it now appears solid and closer to normal. I will eventually tapper the frequency of doses as he recovers so as not to cause any possible damage or dependency. Again this is solely at my own judgement and risk. I did not choose this under the advice of a vet. I am not a Licensed veterinarian and advice others to use their own judgment at their own risk.
Feline Herpes Remedy
My boy has Feline Herpes and I use Lysine to help with his symptoms. This is the only Lysine he will eat to date with no worries! I just put it on his food and it’s he’s to go :) The only criticism is that the dosage is twice weekly at 258mg. Cats can actually have up to 500mg a day of Lysine and I noticed with this dose I wouldn’t really get good results. I spoke to my vet for some more incentive and she recommended to give him a higher dose weekly to help. I am hopeful it will work if I give him a higher dose because this is the only Lysine he will eat! So if your pet has Feline Herpes I would ask your vet for more information on what is a more appropriate dosage than the label on the back of the bottle!
Terrific supplement
I use a 1/4 teaspoon and put only half of that in to make the 1/8 teaspoon twice daily. I mix it with my Baby's wet food and water. She doesn't know it's there, or she's pretending not to know, she eats it all. I mix it really well though, perhaps people not having luck should try a bit more mixing... I will buy this again when we run out, her mood has improved and her coat is shiny and she's not doing her normal hotspot biting anymore either (she was a shelter rescue and came with her own sweet but sad little issues).
Great Product
At a great price, was recommended by my cat's vet to help his immune system with the Feline Herpes Virus he acquired while in the animal shelter I adopted him from. Seems to be working when nothing else did.
Cats did not like.
I like the idea of giving pure lysine without any other ingredients. Both cats would not finish their food when this is mixed in. Will try another brand.
Healthy Kittens
I’m fostering again. Think 11 sneezing, runny noses and sets of watery eyes. Vet recommended L-Lysine as immune support. Success! It barely took a week and mixing it in their food made dosing easy. Just do what vet tells you.
check with your vet first
While this product has pure l lysine in it and that is a good thing.It was formulated by the companies vet.The dosage is extremely low .Certain cats need a stronger dose .What ever dose your vet recommends go by that .
