This has saved my little girl since she was diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency EPI. She is a small pug and was suddenly having large volume stool that were soft and bright yellow and losing weight rapidly. Vikosae waa recomended by her internist. She has no problem eating this with her food , she actually loves it.
I had been warned by my vet that this product needs to be mixed very well into a potent-smelling cat food because some cats don't like the taste/smell, but from the very first serving my EPI cat has never had any issues eating this - thankfully! He doesn't mind it at all in his wet food. Since starting on this medication (1/4 tsp in every meal), he has gained about 1.5 lbs in 8 weeks and looks/feels much healthier. I deducted a star because this product does work very well, but is expensive compared to other powders that are made of the same ingredients. Since my cat doesn't mind eating this, I'm not going to rock the boat, though, and will continue to buy.
This medication worked for my German shepherds, EPI
hi - be aware that you cannot return unopened orders. i bought this on a suggestion by my Vet, and it was not needed. my dog's condition was acute, and went away with a change in diet. i wanted to return this before it was even shipped, let alone opened. i'm sure the product is good, this was a $170 learning lesson for me though. :(
My pup was finally diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency, and this was prescribed. Previously, she was eating 3 meals a day, but continued to lose weight to the point she was skin and bones. Within one week on this, she was gaining weight. On the expensive side, but easy to use, and WORKS.
a very good product saves the functioning of the pancreas, the price, however, is cosmic and there are no discounts on it
This product is great and gets the job done. But I will warn you it is just not for cats. My old man got diagnosed with EPI a week ago. He would eat anything no matter what. This he would not. He absolutely refused to eat his food with this mixed in it. We tried everything with this mixed in it. He would smell it and walk away.
My cat has EPI, and I started using this product about three weeks ago. Her condition is improving, but it’s been a struggle to get her to eat her food. Definitely add water to it, and incubate it for at least twenty minutes.
I know there are many generic versions of enzymes out there, but if you read them closely you will see that many contain additives. My pet could not tolerate them. Unfortunately yes, this is expensive but it works so we will keep using it. In time we will cut back slowly to the minimum dose required so it will last longer. If you find something that works keep using it.
