Has anyone tried this with cats? Does it work? Do you just put it in their food?

My dog had a negative reaction to this product. I believe it acted like a neurotoxin in her system, causing seizures, disorientation, weakness in her legs, etc. It also did not remove any plaque, although her gums did seem to get a little pinker.

Sorry, I just have one dog. However, as stated in my review, this stuff seems to really work. His vet thought he had received a dental cleaning on a return visit--the only difference was the PlaqueOff. I just add a spoonful (the spoon is Tiny) to his meal and he eats it up, even though my dog is very picky. He doesn't seem to notice it. I think it is worth trying with your cat.

I do not have a cat, and therefore can only speak to my experience this far using it with my dog. Honestly, I have not noticed a difference after using this product. I just got my dogs teeth cleaned at the vet, and am now hoping that this product will help with maintaining the cleaning job he just had done. Yes, you sprinkle this product on their food, using the recommended guidelines based on pet weight.

I don't know about cats, but still hasn't worked for my Pom. I put it on his food.

Yes, but my three cats are not especially fond of it. I mix it in with their wet food, and the small amount they ingest has made a significant decrease in their shedding. I"m looking for something with a choice of flavors to make this nutritional supplement more appealing.

I've always mixed it with wet food and my cat has never rejected the food. I haven't tried it with dry food.

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.

After cutting the end of capsule, I just squeeze the oil on top of the wet food in the mornings (separate servings) and both cats seem to like it, which I was surprised. Feeding wet food, I make a small dip in the middle and put the oil in the dip. You could try that and then mix it up with the food. It has definitely helped both cat's skin and coats. Good luck and if you have any more questions, let me know. B. Dixon

I have never tried it on dry food.I was working with an underweight cat who had been fed a low quality kibble. Between her gaunt hips, dry yet greasy looking fur and constipation, it was clear that her recent nutrition had been poor, and the vet sent us home with a medicated canned food and this supplement.For the first feeding I mixed the FortiFlora with a very small amount of water to dissolve, then mixed it all in with the canned food. This worked well. Also consider mixing half a packet with the water, then sprinkling the rest on top of the canned food.If you want to use kibble try to think of a way to apply a dissolved mixture over kibble. Maybe mist it on with a spray bottle? I have never tried it on dry food.I was working with an underweight cat who had been fed a low quality kibble.

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. :)

Don't know about cats because I have dogs. But, I mix it in their food and, so far, I have not had a problem.

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.

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.

I'm not sure about cats, but I know it worked very well for chipmunks. To me, it smelled like a combination of citrus and licorice. From my experience, cats dislike the scent of citrus. As an alternative, I've heard of people slicing limes and placing those in their garden to ward off cats. Good luck!

Yes. I have used this with my two cats and my two dogs. One cat in particular LOVES it and has always had a dry, flaky coat. After two or three weeks on this product his coat has lost the sticky, stiff feel and is now soft. The other cat will eat it and has always been Mr. Fluffy, so I haven't noticed anything with his coat. However, he has an old broken hip from his stray cat days and I'm hoping this will help that joint as he ages.

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.

Laura K. I searched for an answer to no avail. I would steer clear of it. PS Cats don't really need fish.

No I haven't - be careful with syringe-feeding cats as they can aspirate the liquids into their lungs and the particles in this mix are pretty big so it could be very irritating or worse for a cat. Might want to read up on "finger-feeding" aka "force-feeding" (not the preferred term....) for cats - look at Anitra Frasier's book The Natural Cat for the best instructions. Good luck!

We have a dog and three cats. The dog loves it, and both of our food-motivated cats really enjoy it (one cat doesn't really care for crunchy treats, and she isn't interested.) It definitely works as a cat toy.

Yeah you can. You gently squeeze the capsule and pull it apart then sprinkle on food. Not supposed to give the capsule to the cat. It serves as more of a storage capsule. Sticks to food good with a capsule of Welactin omega 3.
