What is the best way to get my cat to "eat" this if she is VERY picky and only eats dry food?

If sprinkling it on dry food does not work maybe you can broil a PLAIN chicken breast, mince a small piece of it in a food processor and add the omega oil to it, then mix in some dry food to see if she will eat it. Sometimes it is all trial and error until you find a solution. Hope this helps.

I put it in a small amt of wet food so that he gets the full dose. Then I give him the rest of the wet food. Would suggest you squeeze it onto a small amt of dry food with a little water also to cut the taste...

Welactin Natural Salmon Oil Softgel Capsules for Cats- bottle 60-countthis works great!

I too have a cat that is a picky eater. I put the dry food in her bowl, open the Welactin capsule and squirt the contents over the dry food and she eats it. I was surprised but glad.

Try squirting the oil over the dry food and let it dry before giving it to him/her.

Welactin does sell an unflavored vs fish flavored. My cat prefers this but I can't seem to find it except at my local vet for twice as much. So until I can find it cheaper, I use the fish flavored & mix with some Fancy Feast with broth. She seems to like it better when the flavor is "hidden" in brothy yumminess.

I find my cat won't eat her canned food with the Welactin in it. My vet suggested adding a little strained baby meat and it works. I use turkey, beef and chicken only.

I cut the top off and squeeze it into my cats mouth. Mine too will not eat his food it if I drizzle it on top.

Basically I just put a pinch on the floor and cats either eat some of it or sometimes they roll around in it. Either way they end up a little "cat drunk." If you have several cats, makes sure each gets a little pinch so they don't get jealous. I've also mixed a little into some food - generally when one of them is sick and doesn't want to eat. It did work, but doesn't on a continuous basis. Placing it on the floor though is what we've done for many years and it works great!

The granules wouldn't stick to the food, so unless your cat will lick it off the bottom of his/her bowl this won't work. Our cats get dry food, too, so we mix it into a little tuna for an evening treat.

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

Since my cat has been eating this I have noticed that she is nt pucking as much. We also have seen she does not eat her food like she did before. She seems like she is actually getting full now. Mind you we have her food set to feed her at set times a day now but she is leaving food now. Where she was not before. She was getting sick all the time now maybe once a week or every other. I hope this helps.

I have a York ie that eats and drinks too fast and then throw a up. We are using the feeding bowl and water bowl- works like a charm. I do t have a cat, howecer, the bowl is shallow so I would think it would work. Not sure how it would work with canned food....designed to use with dry kibble.

I find it's palatable on it's own, I believe it's due to the animal digest in the product which is what is in dry food and makes cats love it. At first, I just sprinkled it into a bowl and added some water and he licked it up but then I started using it after reading suggestions for it to help get picky cats to eat wet food. It worked great! And if I buy a can that they don't love, sometimes FortiFlora convinces them to eat it.

We did it for a week or so until we finally found a supplement that our cat would eat mixed with his food (Call of the Wild). It's always best to check with your vet on something like this.

I originally got the chicken and tuna flavored ones through our vet, but the price was twice as expensive as through Amazon. Then I ordered the unflavored ones through Amazon. My cat is also a picky eater, but when I mix the powder with his tuna, he just eats it up. No problems.

Recently my one cat has been very finicky about this food, too. Sometimes it has a much thinner texture as well as the stronger smell, and she isn't a fan.I never had that issue with this food coming from the local pet store, but I've had it off and on with shipments from Amazon. Maybe it's being subjected to disparate temperatures in shipping?

Yes...my cat has CKD and she eats it. She's picky so I have to jump through hoops and sometimes combine it with the new Broths from Fancy Feast but she does eat it. She does better with this than her kidney food (Hills K/D).

Hi, I don't think that this would work for wet food. But there are dishes available that have nubs on the bottom that also make the cat work for their food. If you use a wet food that is minced rather than pate the bowl with the nubs on the bottom might work, it would just be messy because they have to use their paws. There is also an bowl that has a mound in the middle that would make it harder for the cat to eat quickly. Search under Amazon for 'slow feeding bowls'.

My cat does not eat canned food either. I sprinkle Dasuquin on her dry food and shake the food to cover it with the medication. Precious has eaten her food every day with it since the beginning. I believe that because Dasuquin has a fishy flavor any cat will eat it. Hope this helps.

If this didn't work for you it is because you did not give it properly - To insure a high fat content in the food, my vet said to either use Tuna packed in oil or canned Kitten food. Kitten food is always high in fat. The medication needs the fat in order for the cat to metabolize it properly.

I do not recommend using a clay or pellet based litter if your cat will eat them. (You may want to try and appetite curbing medication for your cat) Almost all litter is dangerous to the animal if ingested if you are concerned try a saw dust based litter as this is likely the safest option or try pad training him.

I held off feeding my outdoor cat and then I put a small bowl of wet food inside the tube one time to introduce the Tube. Putting the food right near the door is also a good idea. He will go in as soon as it is cold enough unless he has a warmer place to sleep somewhere else. You didn't mention if you have blankets or straw in the Tube. Your cat may not like blankets and prefer straw.

Our cats would probably eat around the powder if given the choice. We mix it into the wet food. As a thought you could try getting a squirt bottle and give the wet food one spray and then sprinkle the powder on it would stick to the dry food that way. Just don't over do it with the squirt bottle or it will end up all mushy.
