The directions say 1/4 tsp. per 25 lbs. My cat weighs 5 lbs. How do I give 1/5 of 1/4 tsp?

You could probably just use the scoop provided,1/4 tsp would be the dose. It's like heart guard 5-25 lb is one amount,doesn't change if the animal is 5 or 25 lb. I highly recommend this product too. Very helpful for my dog with immune system issues. He was very sickly be fire useing this

we have a cat about the same size and we feed her one large can a day (i.e. a 5.5oz can). we actually don't use newman's own, i was just reading about it. we feed her mostly wellness core grainfree, which is a little over 200 calories per can. but also sometimes two small cans of fancy feast pate, which is less. she always wants more, no matter how much we feed her so it's hard to say if this is the right amount, but this is what keeps her at a good weight (she's an indoor cat, so she sleeps most of the time). more, and she gets fat. so that would mean 24 days. (and sometimes i give her some yogurt). good luck. we have a cat about the same size and we feed her one large can a day (i.e. a 5.5oz can). we actually don't use newman's own, i was just reading about it. we feed her mostly wellness core grainfree, which is a little over 200 calories per can. but also sometimes two small cans of fancy feast pate, which is less. she always wants more, no matter how much we feed her so it's hard to say if this is the right amount, but this is what keeps her at a good weight (she's an indoor cat, so she sleeps most of the time). more, and she gets fat. so that would mean 24 days.

I would start with 1/2 tsp. it won't take much. I think it might be trial and error.....

No, my cat only weighed 12 lbs. She hated it and was so miserable I took it off her and used the collar that the vet supplied. She seemed to tolerate that better. Good luck with your cat.

Depends on how much you need for weight. Someone 113 to 137 lbs takes 2 1/2 tsp (625mg). Bottle says 50mg/mL. Contents 32 FL OZ (946.4 mL). Do the math 50mg times 946.4 mL equals 47,320 mg47,320mg divided by 625mg (treatment for above weight) equals75 treatments if you weigh between 113 and 137 lbsdosing is different for dogs and cats. 1 mL for every 10 lbs. So 946.4 mL (in the bottle) multiplied by 10 lbs (of dog or cat) and this bottle should treat 9,464 lbs of pets.so if you dog weighs 50 lbs you should be ablecto treat 189 times.

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.

it was probably a teaspoon, but I only used 1/8 of a tsp mixed in a small amount of wet cat food to ensure he ate it all and the food wasn't too pasty, I had a picky eater. I didn't use the recommended amount, but gave 1/8 of a tsp with a few meals over the day

Laura, undoubtedly it would have the same nutritional value if not better. Just check the amt of calcium (on the label) which states that 1 tsp = 1000mg of calcium and compare that to your bone calcium to get the equiv measurement. If your kitty is eating bones from his food that would be the best, but if you get bone calcium from powder then there are different forms of calcium some more absorbable than others. If it were me I would give him the seaweed calcium which comes with other trace minerals.

No, unless you jimmy rig something on the inside (and 1/4 cup is not accurate at all, it's more like 2/3 cup). I really wouldn't use this except for when you're leaving cats at home for a few days and program it to feed two times a day (otherwise you'll overfeed your cat). I think the feeding proportions are much better for a big dog.

I'm useing this scale to weigh cats and they wiggle around a lot but I haven't had that much trouble getting a steady reading in pounds with the ounce part of the reading varying by a couple of ounces up and down as the cat squirms around. Over time if the readings are within a couple of ounces I know the cat isn't losing or gaining weight.

I'd estimate about half foot. It gets bapped around and hidden behind/under things all the time. I've bought five of these so all three cats can eat at the same time, and so I have some on hand even if others are lost. Two of those five are permanently lost; I'm baffled about where they could've gone. Anyhow, I've gotten used to where the cats tend to push them, so I can find them pretty easily. I've also learned some tricks about corralling them, such as placing the balls in a room with an edged threshold to make it a touch trickier to push out, or in a room with space to bap but few places to hide.

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!

1/2 cup....I have this set twice/day for my 14 pound cat...I've had it a few years and it works perfectly

My cat eats about 1/4 cup but it will easily hold 2/3 cup as well. It says it holds 1 cup, but that seems a bit too full to me

I also do this. The box I just finished is Advantage 100 for dogs over 55lbs. This worked just fine for my four cats ages 6 to 18.

I do know about using it in water. I am not sure how you could really measure the amount that your cat would actually get. I put the drops in my cat's wet food. You can put it on dry food, just put a small amount of food, so he will eat all of it. They even say you can sprinkle this around their bedding, I have not done this either.

I tried weighing my cat which is about 10lbs but it wouldn't weight it. I had to get my weight and then step on the scale with the cat to find his weight
