Lifesaver!!
By OkFrancis on Nov 24, 2020
My kitties love these. They have FIP and vet recommended twice daily for each. In comparison to other brands they get the dosage they need in two versus 16. More importantly they are softer than optional brands which have the consistency of erasers my kitties can’t chew.

My favorite lysine treats
By 2nickname on Jan 16, 2021
My cats love them. Treats are soft which is better for my flat faced Persians. I just break them into a couple pieces and down they go.

Yummy for his tummy!
By zct6 on Jul 26, 2020
My 11 year old boy is a little on the heavy side and while he will eat almost anything I put in his bowl, this brand of lysine for his viral herpes flares is his favorite (and we've tried them all)! Gobbles them down like treats every time. For those having trouble finding a lysine supplement your kitty will eat, I would recommend buying small bags of different brands and try them all. The powder is also an option if you feed wet food - just mix it well. Good luck to all the herpes kitties like mine out there! They all deserve much loving!

Cats won’t eat
By carol on Aug 19, 2020
My cats will not eat these. They were not very soft and to big for one bite. Tried breaking them in two but they still wouldn’t eat them. The feral who visits occasionally would not eat them and he eats everything.

Nope not this one either!
By CLSING on Jul 20, 2020
After trying 2 other chews, my cat won't eat this one either. I was thinking that lots of favorable reviews, it might work. It is a soft chew, which is nice, but it is huge! I tried chopping it up into their food, and they ate around every piece. They just won't eat any of the chews. darn.

My Cats Love These
By ElsieK on Jun 26, 2020
I have one cat that is a really picky eater and the other who will eat most anything, and they both love these L-Lysine chews. Each chew is about the size of a dime and my cats prefer them cut them in half - probably because they seem a little too big and too chewy to eat whole, which is cool because then they think they're getting 2 treats!

My Cats choice for Lysine Supplement
By Flyinggems on Apr 10, 2020
My cat's third eye lid was present and the Vet recommended giving her Lysine nutritional supplement to help with Herpes virus. This is the brand that I purchased from my Vet. I first noticed a problem in November 2017, She has had only had a few episodes since. She has been on the supplement for 4 years. She really enjoys the treat. There are days when she is in a mood and will not eat it right away, but usually eats it by the end of the day. I tried a cheaper and more easily accessible supplement, she ate it but reluctantly. When we added a new cat to the family we started giving him the supplement too. He enjoys the large chewy treat.

Fixed chronic eye infections
By Brittany on Jul 11, 2020
Started using as a recommendation for my cats that were getting bad eye infections. Haven't had a problem since. I have a senior cat and a kitten, and they both love these. They look like treats.

He likes it, he really likes it!!
By KSGirl on May 2, 2020
As any cat owner knows, finding something your cat will actually eat is the first hurdle. My Lewis really hated getting the L-Lysine squirted in his mouth, but really needs it, so we are so thankful for these! Nice resealable package and they don't stink. Also nice that each chew is a full dose. We cut it in about 5 pieces and he thinks he is getting a treat. Please don't stop making/carrying these!

Helps my immune compromised boy
By hayley on Jan 3, 2020
My boy has a less than great immune system through no fault of his own, and constantly has crusty eyes and nose boogies no matter what we try to change in trying to limit allergies. Not only does he LOVE having these as a snack twice a day, they do make a difference in lessening the amount of crusties in the corners of his eyes, and his boogies appear less than they used to without these treats. Will always come back to this brand, as they are priced right with a significant amount of lysine.
