Tomlyn Nutri-Stat High-Calorie Dietary Dog & Cat Supplement, 4.25-oz tube

My dog was 2 pounds when getting him from the breeder who sent me home with one of these tubes. Never had I expected that my little ones blood sugar would drop, he became lethargic and couldnt even stand up- very scary. Panicked, i called the breeder who said to keep putting this stuff on the roof of the dogs mouth. (Along with squirting water and corn syrup in the dogs mouth. ugh) The dog had become hypoglycemic - and 5-6 mouthfuls of this stuff legitimately brought my dog back to life. The vet said for situations like that, it is only a bandaid and he did need fluids after that. However, now the tube has become a treat, I squirt it into a kong in the morning and at night after dinner and My dog was 2 pounds when getting him from the breeder who sent me home with one of these tubes.

If you have a tiny dog or puppy, this is just good to have!! After a missed meal or two, this is so good for them. You never know when an emergency situation could arise! … more

I have used Nutri-Stat for almost 20 years with all of my dogs when needed. I only reach for this product when they seem "off" - this could include acting lethargic, showing little to no appetite, etc. For those who say their dog won't take it, you may need to put a small amount on your finger and rub it on their tongue. My dogs will not always readily take it either, but I have found they quickly seem better after I have placed a little into their mouth. This can be messy with the sticky paste, but is worth it in the end :) Usually once they have had a taste, they will then take it willingly.

This is definitely saving my cats life right now. We couldn't figure out why he wasn't eating much and eventually took him into the vet to find out he was suffering from a bone marrow issue. He was dehydrated, anemic and his weight was down to 6 pounds. He is usually picky but loves this stuff. I am able to put his medication in it and if he refuses food I atleast know he had this to help him through the day. This is basically the only thing that made me feel like I am somewhat helping with this horrible health issue. Thank you Nutri Stat

I bought this for my 14 yr old dog who has stopped eating most things and has lost almost 20% of her body weight, in hopes that she would eat it and that it would stimulate her appetite to eat other things. Unfortunately, she will not eat it. The purchase was a total waste of money.

I been using this for years on young dogs and senior dogs. Great results..and also to give seniors meds..put the pill and Nutri stat on your finger and they take the pill and Nutri together. My dogs love the taste..come running to get a some.

My mastiff will eat anything, but after the first taste of this he turned his nose up and wouldn't touch it again. It's gooey and is messy to give to animal. Would not purchase again.

My breeder insisted I have this on hand for the first couple of weeks when I got my new puppy. She was under 4 lbs when I got here and it definitely was handy to have to prevent hypoglycemia. Now that she is over 6 lbs and eating kibble just fine, I use it as a treat/reward for her. She loves the taste and can recognize the tube if you hold it up from afar. This is a must have and I will be re-ordering regularly. Also, this is the same as Nutri-cal - same manufacturer and nutrients.

This stuff smells really bad, and my finicky Kitty wants no part of it. He fights the taste of it, and I am really upset at how hard it dries... his fur is a mess because, as the package recommends, I tried a spot on his front paw and it smeared, then hardened all of the fur it touched into knots that water hardly helped. Yuck!! There has got to be something better on the Market.

My cat hates the flavor and won't eat the food I mixed it in. She now refuses that food on its own. I tried putting it on her paw to encourage her to lick it off but she ran and hid and is traumatized so much from the experience she has refused all of her food today, all treats, and won't even eat chicken. I'm sure this has worked for others, but for my animal I'm tossing this out.

Mister picky puss, will absolutely not touch his canned food if I put it in there. So I do the hairball goop trick...on the paw. He hates me, but his coat is looking amazing, and he’s picking up a little weight, yay team!!!
