Nutramax Denamarin Tablets for Cats & Small Dogs, 30 count

My cat Luka is on phenobarbital twice daily, and it started to raise his liver values, I bought this because it was recommended for Luka and it completely put all his levels right back where they need to be!! Giving him the pill was tricky at first but we learned to just mold some fancy feast savory cravings (they look like cat chocolate bars) you take one little square and mold it around the pill, then give kitty one treat without the pill first then toss the one with the pill in it, works every time, if the pill falls out when the cat is trying to eat it just try again!

So I got multiple packages of this medication on the suggestion of my veterinarian for my cats elevated chronic kidney disease lab results. I purchased multiples from chewy because there was a shortage at that time because of the pandemic. We tried two packages and then went to retest. My cats enzymes elevated even more!!! Over 400!!! It simply did not work... I wish that I had not spent all that money! It’s super expensive and not effective. The veterinarian and I found a lower price option that is working phenomenally well - thank goodness!!! It’s been a rough year but Aidan is doing supremely well on the other med. Denamarin is not the gold standard.

Denamarin is by far the best liver support. Recommended by a vet and I've been using it for 6 years with great results along with a low phosphorus diet. I make a homemade diet for my Chihuahua using sweet potatoes, then add organic chicken, turkey or cod as the protein source, yellow and zucchini squash, a few blueberries and a small baby carrot. I also use Platinum Performance CJ vitamins and an organic source of Omegas in the correct ratio for dogs and he is doing amazing. Thank you Nutramax for your great product and also Chewy, for carrying it!!

These tabs are easily concealed in a cat pill pocket which I use to pill my 14 pound dog. He hasn't yet had his follow up blood work so I don't know if it is working - but he takes them with no problems. He would not take the larger ones, which are really the ones recommended for his size. Not sure how a cat would do, since he pretty much swallows the pill pocket whole. Four stars just in case they do work, but this is based on a dog, not a cat.

Our vet recommended this product to help lower one of our cats liver enzymes. Chewy pricing was much lower than buying from the vets office. I wrap a little bit of pill pocket on the tablet and the cat eats it right up!! We used the product for one month so far and the enzyme levels have dropped by 1/3. Very happy with the results.

Evidently the pill must be super bitter. I cannot get this into my cat. I've done everything from putting It into a little bit of canned food, although this is supposed to be on an empty stomach, both as a whole pill as well as crushed. She won't touch her food. I've even crushed it up and put it in a syringe with a little bit of water and only ended up getting scratched and my cat ends up drooling with this stuff.

Same product as provided by my vet. Now I don’t need to drive across town to get it, and with reoccurring delivery, Bonnie won’t miss a dose...unless she spits it out because I didn’t hide it well enough!

Giving these 'periodically' to a large cat. 2nd box ordered. First box had 2-3 pills that were 'exposed' to air in the package possibly (small cuts in the metal coating maybe?) and when you try to pop them out they *squish*. 2nd box has 4-5 of these. They are not usable as they are gummed to the packaging and sticky. Other pills pop out easily and are solid. I am using boxes immediately on receipt so this is not because they are stored for long or mishandled. While pet has shown improvement (no negative review on the pill or effectiveness itself), these are not cheap, so disappointing that a portion cannot be used....now two orders in a row from Chewy

My small dog has been taking this medication for a few months, but the vet is no longer carrying this product, instead opting for a MUCH more expensive version. I'm so glad that Chewy still carries the original formulation.

The pills are advertised for cats, but they are larger than I expected. I end up having to shove the pill down my cats throat and then hoping she doesn't gag. Luckily, the pills are bright blue so it's easy to see if she spits it out. Says that they work best on an empty stomach, but because of the drama involved in wrestling with the cat to give her a pill I end up giving her a few treats.
