Can this be given to cats? And if so how long usually before you see improvement?

I would say no for cats. For the second question, it took 3-4 weeks to see improvement for my dog.

I would not give this to cats. it is based on body weight, half a tablet per 20 lbs. the labeling makes no mention of cats, only specifically for dogs. I would call your vet to get a recommendation for your cat.

It says for Dogs, but I don't know. I really didn't have much success with it for my dog...I ended up using something else and that worked.

I gave this product to my healthy cat and in 3 weeks I noticed blood in his stools. If this does anything to the blood this could be side effect! anyone had this problem?

To be honest with you I never saw any difference in my cats behavior. However all cats do not react the same to stimulants. My opinion would be to give it a try as a treat for positive reinforcement when the dog is in the room.

I have friends who have used this and it worked really well for them. I believe my cats would have responded better, but they are past that point. Medication and segregation is the only option right now.

I dont know of an attatchment that can be used directly on my cats. LOL Besides when I turn it on they run so I dont think they would stick around long enough for me to even try such a thing!

I've heard from many that it works wonders but it didn't work for my cat at all. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

It should begin to work fairly quickly. I added the medication to a regimen of brushing 1-2 times per week and the medication seemed to help significantly after a week or so. As my prior review of the product stated I'm pretty unhappy with the new formulation in that my cat basically refuses to eat it now as the tablets are thicker and aren't really chewable--so I get to break them with a hammer and hide them in the food now. The product in my hands doesn't completely eliminate the hairballs but did cut down on the incidence to maybe 1-2 times per month which was a large step forward.

Seems to work a bit better. Took about 2 weeks to see the difference. The big thing I noticed--it seems to be a bit easier on his (12 year old, big as in large not fat cat) stomach.

It seems to vary in effectiveness depending on the individual cat. It works wonders for ours, but I know it hasn't worked at all for others. I'd definitely give it a try, though. We spent over a grand trying to calm down our cat after we moved out of state, and this was finally the only thing that worked.

Yes, very good. Do be sure to give your kitty the proper dose for his or her weight and also give it to them 4 times a day, if your kitty is rather weak, just 3 times a day is good. I have cured several kitties using this. Also if your kitty has a stuffed nose, rub a little vicks vapor rub in the ears so as to help keep the airways clear. :)

we used it to help with My cat's aggression with other cats. While we did notice her not "hunting" the other cat in the house as much, we did not notice a marked decrease in aggression towards the other cat when they came across one another. If your cat is acting out simply due to stress, however, I think it may work better. My sister uses this supplement to help her skittish cat who is afraid of strangers and we have noticed improvement in his tendency to hide from strangers.

I give it to all 3 of my cats, but I got it specifically for one of them that has digestive issues and it does seem to help. I just sprinkle it on his dry food every day. I think it is worth using to try and keep them healthy. Kudos for taking care of 11 cats. I had 6 cats at one time and that seemed like a lot for me to care for.

My three cats are all positive for herpes and Calicivirus, and they will be on Lysine for the rest of their lives, as advised by my vet. They get a quarter of a teaspoon twice a day with food. It only takes a very tiny amount to get the benefit, so don't overdose them! It took about two weeks for their symptoms to go away, and if we miss a dose, they usually start showing symptoms again within a few days. So make sure you don't skip! I ordered one bottle that was a different brand and designed specifically for cats, and it came with a scoop for just the perfect dose. I kept the scoop and now use it with this brand (it's exactly the same but cheaper.)

The answer to your question depends upon the metabolism of the person taking it. I react in 20 minutes. Other people take two weeks. My cats were very small when I began giving it to them, and all I can say is that their hearts beat slowly and clearly. The vet said she'd never heard cats' hearts beat like that, and was amazed.

I just put it on the dry food and the cats eat it up. My diabetic cat has had diarrhea and the vet gave me this for it. As I have seen some improvement I thought it would have worked faster. It's helped all the cats so will continue to give it to them.

It's specially formulated for dogs, so I would contact the company to find out if it is okay to give to cats. Possibly in smaller dosage but I'd check.

Hi Diane: Thanks to your comment, I plan to buy this and share it with my cat, who is 23 years old and like yours, suffering from kidney disease. With RenAvast powder and Ubiquinol, he has kept amazingly well, surprising the vet by living for years, but recently he has been bleeding (red) from the rectum and has bloody stools, apparently not healed simply by taking antibiotics. It is scary, but I still have hope because apart from his time in the litter box, he seems comfortable and still has his appetite. I'm very grateful for your comment!
