I have large cats. Not overweight. They both weight 16-18 lbs. How many bites should I give them. The suggested serving seems like way too much.

I have a very large cat and a very petite cat- brother and sister. My big cat is around 15-18 pounds, it fluctuates. I find that she swallows them whole. Her brother takes a long time to eat them, but he is only about 6 pounds. If you have large cats, you might want to monitor their eating of these in case they are just swallowing them and therefore doing little to no good.

Hi Debra. For a 16-18 pound cat, we would recommend 24-28 dental treats per day. As with any treat, always adjust amount of main meal to compensate for calories delivered by treats. Please call us at 1-866-473-3643 with any questions.

My cat is around nine pounds I spose, and she just loves those bites. I would think the suggested amount is what she gets. I only give her four or five at a time because she can just beg and beg. I put them in with her dry food. She isn't much for the canned cat food. I ordered one pack and had to order more. They must be good!

It says there suggested servings, not required. My cat is only 10lbs and I give her 4-6 throughout the day. To me, it is really just a normal treat like other cat treats

My cats range between 8 and 14 lbs. I usually give each cat 3-4 a day. I would give the larger ones fewer, but that might injure their sense of justice and fair play.

Most cat products recommend high suggested servings. In my opinion, that's just a way of selling more products! My cats are small (10lb). One has dental problems, so vet prescribed dental treats...about 5 per day as a treat.I actually use Hills Prescription Diet T/D a formula I buy from the vet. Sometimes I use Greenies too. I let the other cat have a couple from time to time and may give her more now that she is developing plaque as well. I don't believe in giving treats that have no food value, so I am somewhat conservative in giving treats. Your best bet is to ask your vet for advice. ;) Most cat products recommend high suggested servings. In my opinion, that's just a way of selling more products! My cats are small (10lb).

I have two cats that weigh over 10 lbs - one is 12 and the other 14. They often sit on the lid and I have never had a problem.

I would! I have 3 cats, 8 to 16 lbs, the larger size definitely lasts longer. And the cats seem to enjoy really sinking their claws into it.

4 lb=5 to .06 ml, 7 lb= 0.8 ml, 11 lb 1.0 ml these should be close and will not hurt if it is not correct this stuff is not real toxic. after doing this go back after 2.5 weeks and repeat that should do it. i did mine with cats but close to same weights you have and also if you go through the reviews ther is a post with all the weights and dosages for cats which can be used for dogs also

Yes, I think so. My cats are close to 20 pounds each and they're too big for it though.

Both of my cats love treats (Temptations) they get a couple every night. I included one in those, but the cat that needs the supplement the most will eat the Temptation treats and leave the L-Lysine treat. The other cat would eat both of the L-Lysine treats. I wish I could get them to eat the treats instead of having to give them the paste but I can see that's not going to happen, so I probably will not be ordering the L-Lysine treats again.

I was told by NuVet that any dog over 5 pounds should get 1 wafer. I give my boxer (55 pounds) one and sometimes one and a half; the lady I spoke with at NuVet said you can give more and if you want to treat pancreatitis then give more. So if your dog weighs 140 pounds, I would not hesitate to give him or her 2 tablets. They told me that anything your dog does not need, will be flushed out of their system because they are water soluble and they only use what they need. Hope this helps.

if you are asking if larger cats could use this, then the answer is yes.i have many cats that weigh all different sizes the larges is around 8kg.they all play, sleep and jump on this and there is no problem, even my little dog hopes on the botton one to sleep.i hope this helps. Jenny

Our cat only weights 8 pounds and we got medium claws for her and they were fine. I like for a 13 pound cat, medium would work just fine.

I have a .8 oz sample that fed my 8# cat breakfast. There would be 15 servings of that size in a 12-ounce package.

This is from the website:FEEDING GUIDELINESAdult: Feed about one 5.5oz can, or 2 3oz cans, per 6-8 lbs. of body weight per day.Kitten: Feed up to twice the adult amount to kittens.Gestation and Lactation: Feed up to three times the normal adult amount.http://www.newmansownorganics.com/pet/products/?page=product8So I am guessing about one large can and a half per day for an 11 lb cat which would be about 15 to 16 days.

Maybe the 8lb cat but not the 16lb one. My cat is 5 and this is his first house that we know of. In order for him to use the hole we had to put treats in it otherwise he could care less about it. He usually jumps to the 2nd and 3rd level. Thr third he barely fits on and he's about 10lbs give or take.

When I bought this they were kittens, both are now approx. 7 pounds and stretch fine. they still play on it even though their body's hang over the side when they lay on and in the tunnel.. Our 17lb cat claws just fine on it...doesn't quite get the full stretch but uses it. I love ours... Hope this helps.

I don't have a dog, but my cat was 22+ lbs. He couldn't break into it, if that's what you're worried about (like taking all 6 doses at once). As long as he/she is good with pills and would just munch it up with some dry food, I don't see why it would be a problem. If he/she is really finicky and you have to stick it in cheese or hot dogs or something, I'm not sure... It does come with 2 ice packs to put underneath the food area so you can keep canned food cold; however, I've never tried them (I only use it for dry) so I can't testify as to whether it will maintain proper food safety temperatures or not.

Possibly, but put your cat on a diet. It's too fat. If you love it, extend it's life with losing weight.

The size of the bites are about the size of a kernel of corn. My cat chews a bit, but she eats fast, so doesn't always break up the pieces very well.

Get a large. My cat is 17 pounds and the large had to reach a bit on her. But the range that you can adjust is considerable, so even if you have to make it tighter, the large will probably word. Also, 12 pounds is pretty big for most kitties in my experience.
