Too big
My sweet old man has a bad case of a runny nose and sneezing. The vet recommended Lysine treats. I ordered these and the treats are really big of a cat. Broken it
My sweet old man has a bad case of a runny nose and sneezing. The vet recommended Lysine treats. I ordered these and the treats are really big of a cat. Broken it in half and he only ate half and left the other half. Would not touch it if unbroken and stopped eating them altogether. He seems to prefer the other brand I purchased when I mix it with a few other treats.

The actual chewable is too big. I've been breaking it into 4s and mixing it into the kibble. The cat actually ate it for a few days. That was short lived. I have now found them remaining uneaten in the bottom of the dish. It DID seem to be working when he was taking it regularly. Will keep hoping
She likes it!
