Lysine for Cats, Chicken Flavor, 60 Chews - Immune and Respiratory Support for Cats - No Wheat or Corn - Vet Recommended

First, about my cat - he has the typical feline herpes signs: eye drainage, yellow-to-green mucous, sneezing, coughing, and my least favorite: "reverse sneezing." I had taken him to 4 vets and only one of them hinted that he probably has a virus. And even at that point, her recommendation was to give him a round of doxycycline, an antibiotic (for a virus...), once a month. But by this time, I have been given antihistamines, inhalers, antibiotics, and steroids to help with my cat. I thought I'd poke around the Internet and see what I could find for myself which eventually brought me to trying these l-lysine supplements. I'm very glad I did. Not only was I tentative about just giving my cat more pills, but as a student, it was getting more difficult to afford taking him to the vet so often. All cats are unique and will most likely approve of one l-lysine supplement over another. I'm reviewing this one because it was my cat's choice. He has also tried the GNC version (which is more expensive and he lost interest after a week or so) and the VETOQUINOL Enisyl-F paste (it got rave reviews but my cat only willingly ate it twice before I'd have to put it directly on his tongue). All of these products are under $20. I think it's a small price to pay to find one that's to your cats liking because I can tell a huge difference in my cat's symptoms even within a couple hours after administration. If I'm able to give him these chews on a regular schedule he even gets to a point of being symptom-free. This particular product comes fish shaped and in a chewy consistency. Even though as time went on the remaining chews got harder, my cat pushed through and continued to eat and enjoy them. They never got rock-hard. tl:dr: I highly recommend playing around with different l-lysine products to find one your cat likes best. I have been very pleased with how well these specific treats worked for my cat's symptoms.

I have used Pet Natural Lysine for years. I have five strictly indoor kitties and at certain times of the year, one or two are symptomatic of allergies or colds. In a multi-cat household such as mine, this product has been invaluable providing distinctively shown added protection, in counter-acting the spreading affect of contagiousness of colds. Within five days of treatment, the comforting results upon my kitties are clearly evident. My long-established vet's office recommends Lysine to strengthen and support immunity as a very important benefit of feline health. It is a very palatable product, consistently and readily acceptable as a very special treat. The benefits and effectiveness of this over-the-counter product couldn't be more cost effective, in achieving the amenities in benefits of the health and well being of my kitties. Thank you for a very fine product and Best Regards.

Even my most ravenous cat hated these. Both cats refused to eat. The individual pieces are hard as rock. Hurt my fingers trying to break them up in the hopes one of the cats would try it. Nope. Wasted my money. Americans have a look of disgust and disdain when they are offered Aussie Vegemite. That’s how my cats looked at me when I put this in their bowls, trying again to entice them.

***Updated Review*** The cats are about 2 years old and they can eat these now. As older kittens (9 months) they really couldn't eat them, the treats were too large and they had trouble chewing. They also seemed to really dislike the taste. Now they will eat them, they're still not super thrilled about them. Sometimes I need to break the treat in two and they seem to sniff it and be more interested then. They still struggle to chew it some but usually manage to eat it with minimal encouraging. The amount of lysine per treat is good, so only two to three per cat per day. Their eyes always seem to stay healthy when they get these once a day, if I go a few days to a week without, they both start to itch their eyes and they get runny. So I do think it keeps the herp at bay. The price is so much better here than PetSmart or PetCo. Those places sell this for about 10 to 15. The closest pet store to me sells only one type of lysine treat (not this kind) and it's 20$ for a bag of 60 treats! Crazy. Very glad to buy them here, for less money. Delivery was again prompt and packaging was fine. **Older 2 star review ** The product shipped quickly and was as advertised. However, one cat really disliked the treats, the other wasn't thrilled but would eat them. I think they are too large, and the texture is chewy, my cats kept spitting them out trying to chew but giving up. To get the less picky one to eat it, I have to break it up into bits. For the picky one, I crushed the treat with a fork and mixed it into wet food. For a few days he wouldn't eat the wet food with the treat in it, but he's eating it a little now. Still, he's not thrilled by them. There is no way to test if a cat would like these before buying, but I would say if your cats don't typically eat larger chewy foods they may dislike this treat. The length is a little less than 1 inch long and about .5 inch wide, .25 inch depth. Fish shaped, chicken flavored. Larger than any other cat treat I've seen, I didn't think about the size of a treat before purchasing though.
