VetriScience 27+ Active Health Chewable Tablets, Nu Cat Daily Multivitamin for Cats and Kittens, Balanced Vitamins, Minerals and Antioxidants, Health and Wellness Support, Fish, 90 Count

This is the 4th time I've purchased the 90 count multiple Vitamin for Cats through Amazon. They are sometimes called "NuCat" in descriptions elsewhere, I like them for my cats for their ease of use.First, I learned to give pills by watching my Vet. After he popped them in their mouths towards the back he would massage their upper neck, it is easier to do than describe. The will swallow them! You can also pop them in the pill crusher and mix with food. They crush into a fine powder.Just like vitamins for humans they have a risk of non absorbtion, yet I have seen this particular brand recommended in an article by a vet explaining how to feed sick cats, or uti cats plain chicken and rice with a supplement. If you look at the percentage mix, you can see that the B12 is low for a sick cat. Ask your vet to be safe, a higher concentration of a B12, if the Vet did not inject them, might be needed.Only testing with bloodwork before and after a round of meds will give you valuable information about how it is working. VetriScience has changed the packaging for this product. It is now in all black bags. Check the expiration date on the older white bottles, if you get that. i was disappointed that my bottle expires 1/26 as I'm used to these being usable a ways out but with my cats getting over 14 years old I'm certain i will use them up!>Sweetie>, my 14 year old is having health problems and I'm making this a daily vitamin for her and her brother Peachy, pictured. And good luck finding an expiration date on the new black bags, somebody please write a review about that please.Cats have to have taurine, read more about it. Most home diets, even if just for rounds of short illness, recommend a supplement. Some vets have even mentioned this brand, and my Vet, RIP, he sold it in his office.

My cat is healthy

Big improvement. My 16 year old was losing her already finicky appetite. On their own, she will not touch these. But (!) once crumbled and hidden in her wet food she can't seem to get enough. She has gained her weight back and is amazingly committed to meal time. I might even have to begin to monitor for too MUCH weight gain at this rate.

My cat, Aurora, receives one with her food every morning. I've been giving her this brand of vitamins for almost two years. Aurora is a very picky eater, but usually always eats the vitamin with her food. She may leave it if she isn't that hungry and doesn't eat all her food, but she always successfully eats it at the end of the day without much trouble. As for her being healthy, her vet always compliments her fur and her good bill of health; however, this is only one step of keeping your cat healthy. Ensure you're providing a mositire rich based diet and giving other nutrients rich foods/treats. At a point when I had to provide Aurora dry food due to finances, Aurora had a lot more problems eating the vitamin. Switching back to wet food helps so much in ensuring she eats her vitamin.

They wouldn’t eat it no matter how I prepared it and I don’t blame them. These pills stink so bad I wouldn’t take them myself.

It’s a weird texture, but that’s fine. It seemed to be easy to chew. But neither cat would try it so sad I needed something for them. They’re getting up there in age.

She's eating them but not enthusiastically. I will give her no choice if she begins to resist. For example, today, she ate 3/4 of it then left the last quarter. I tried to get her to eat it, but not interested, so I put it in her mouth. She swollowed it right down. Next time, I will quarter it before offering it to her, maybe that will help.UPDATE.... She smells it and then refuses to eat it. I have no choice but to put it down her throat. I will not purchase again, it's too stressful to deal with. On the upside, she is gaining weight which is what she needs. She is now a healthy 8.1 pounds from 6.4 pounds. So there's a plus to the fights. I will continue to fight until I find a better alternative.UPDATE ON THE UPDATE.....She still doesn't like them so I do have to force them on her but I must say, I see a marked improvement in her appetite, her grooming habits, her coat, etc. I am unsure if I will buy again, I am going to try getting a masking product, grind the vitamins, put them together and hope she eats them willingly. I just hate fighting with her to improve her health. Neither of us need the stress.I am doing another update on my previous reviews. With the help of Pill Pockets, there is never an issue with feeding her, her vitamins. Now that we are more than half way through the bottle, I am noticing a big difference in her. Her appetite is increasing, her coat looks much better, her hair is no longer falling out in droves. She looks very well. She still doesn't do much for grooming so I help her by combing her out. But she is doing some more grooming than before. Since she is a senior, she still does sleep a lot, but that's to be expected. I do see her play more than she did before when she is awake. All in all, I see a marked improvement in her. I will be buying more after all. Plus I changed the number of stars because of all the positive changes that I've see in my girl. I do recommend these vitamins for Senior cats. I'm a happy momcat.FINAL UPDATE.......I did purchase another bottle because my girl has improved so much with them. I will continue to purchase as long as I can. Hopefully, this bottle won't smell like Cod Liver Oil and I can get my girl to eat it willingly. That would be a huge plus.
