My cat is very, very finicky about food. Do cats tolerate putting it their food or do most people syringe it into their mouth?

I have only ever given this to our dogs. Cats are a whole different story. I would assume a syringe would be your best bet. It's supposed to be 'flavored', but that doesn't mean anything to cats. :)

It is such a tiny dose that if you put it in a small amount of food or with a syringe you'd be fine either way.

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

This is a human size capsule, so you cannot get a cat to swallow it. You simply pull one open and sprinkle the powder on wet food. My cats don't even know it is there and it goes right down! (I use ocean fish pate.)

Hi Anna,You would have to ask a tough one, wouldn't you? Just kidding. As far as I know, you're right.All I know is one of my kitties was very fussy about what she would eat and when she started eating these over and over I think I was just relieved. Hope that helps youBill

I haven't had any problems with it. I have had it for over a year now. I use it for my dog. If your cat is trying to get the food to drop down, you can try fastening the tray with tape underneath or something. I picked this feeder because it had the best reviews and the large container.

Yes, My cat will not eat her food if I sprinkle it on her food. She takes the pill just fine. If you are comfortable pilling you cat fell free too. The box says you can either sprinkle the capsules on food or pill you cat. It is effective either way.

None of my cats will eat the lysine chews either. I know some people have tried on dry food with success but I've only tried it on wet food. When I was was just sprinkling it on top of the wet food and not mixing it in I noticed they were not eating all of their food. I'm not sure if it was the smell though. I just switched to Tomlyn which is less stinky & cheaper and it doesn't seem to bother them when I don't mix it quite as well as I should when I'm in a hurry.

No, they don't. I have a big, plastic pet syringe kind of thing that I use to get the cat to take it. I bought it at PetSmart, if I remember correctly.

I have 2 cats, only one has a problem. I mix it in the bowl they both eat out of. The vet said it was good for them, whether they were having a problem or not.

The capsule is 1/4 inch in diameter and 5/8 inch long, so no. Directions say to open capsule and sprinkle on the cat's food. Neither one of my cats would touch it.

Aloha..I have never came across this issue since only one cat, kibbles very small. I fill weekly. I purchase from Amazon the Merrick before grain, tuna favor. That's a great question. I have a habit of checking once in awhile, never shake use my finger once in awhile. I trust this container, since my kids never check on my cat, she ran out of food. The water dish she likes small, took the filter out use different type of mineral water. Hope it helps.

It is recommended that you open the cap and pour the powder on the cats food. The powder is chicken & tuna flavored so they eat it enthusiasticly. My cat is on a RX diet of canned food & still loves the Dasuquin flavored powder (and eats it happily). Good luck with your kitty. Jamie Babonis

No. The first answer is correct. It comes in blister packaging. I keep it in the cupboard with my pet's food, and out of sunlight, as eith any other suppliment or medication. I just sprinkle on his food and he slurps it up. This is the tjird cat with a digestve problem I've used it on and they all have benifited greatly, especially since they have all been indoor city cats.

I open them up and mix them with a little bit of water. (Mixes best if you add powder to water, rather than water to powder. I use a 3cc syringe (no needle on it.) I used to get my cat every evening and hold him while I opened his mouth and squirted it down his throat, and then one day he just grabbed the thing and licked it all up by himself. Now he insists on it every night. Loves the taste, and have had very few flareups of his his IBS or pancreatitis. Tastes so good to them that I have actually used it to add to more yucky medicines to make them more palatable for the animals.

Mechanically, I see no reason why not. My dog sticks her tongue into the grooves to pick up the food. You know your cat's personality. Finicky cats might not want to make the extra effort required to extract the food. Good luck!

The vet recommended this medication for our cat. There's a particular kind of canned cat food that she specially loves, so I open the capsule and mix it in with the cat food. It's a turkey and salmon flavor, so fairly strong, and she doesn't seem to mind the flavor of the capsule mixed in. Greenies also has pill pockets for dogs, I think. You could try one of those.
