Does this have any artificial sweetener in it? I don't eat that so I don't want to feed it to my cat & the tube gell has that in it.

There is no information on the label or on the manufacturer website. Only that the ingredient is L-lysine with a flavor added. VetoquinolUSA http://www.vetoquinolusa.com/index.html can be contacted by email: customerservices@vetoquinolusa.com

The Viralys powder does not have any sweetener of any kind in it. I think my cat has acquired a taste for it because it has always been in his wet food in the morning. I give him half a can of Fancy Feast with a spoon full (included in the container) sprinkled on top every morning. That is the only wet food he gets. If you have a problem with wet food (some cat owners do) just give him a few spoonfuls.

Just read mine and it does NOT mention ingredients only that it's in a palatable base. How odd it wouldn't list it. I thought it was pretty much pure but I guess I'm wrong.

ingredients on container only mention a "palatable base" and does not specify what makes it palatable.

cats don't have sweet taste buds so i doubt the palatable base would have a sweetener

I posted a review on here. It does not have artificial sweeteners. I purchased this solely because of that. If you want to sweeten it you can add your own sugar or sweetener to it.

looked at pkg. no ref to feline or cats anywhere. only dogs. guessing not for cats or they would be marketing them that way as it would increase their sales. must be wrong 'other ingredients' for feline digestion. also, the treats are bisquit like texture and quite large so cats may find quite Unappealing.

This is an excellent product. We started our kittens on it. As for the label, it says it is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCOfood nutrient profiles. It is grain free, no meat by-products. Grain free and no meat by-products are important things to look for on the label. Gluten is hard on their digestion and meat by-products range from feet to guts. Hope this helps. P.S. I bought 2 cases of this after bringing them home from the breeder. After about 2 weeks of feeding this to my two Ragdolls, they decided they didn't like it and we were "told" to get something else! This is an excellent product. We started our kittens on it.

To the best of my knowledge, it has no sweetener, and no sweetness apart from the milk protein and the slight (very slight) sweetness milk provides. It is said to be a good addition to non-sweet things like potatoes and soups, so it's very unlikely there would have been any added sweetener. The label certainly does not list any. Hope this helps.

I'm reading off the label, and there is no sugar. The first ingredient is Sorbitol which is sweetener....I think that's what they use in Sweet N Low. I brush my dog's teeth every day...she's used to it now so no problems

There is no sweetener added, although since this is not 100% protein there is some residual starch from the sprouted rice. It would taste fine to those who do not insist on saccharine foods.

I do not have this item, but the propylene glycol also has a sweet flavor. It is an FDA approved food additive, but still not something I want to have if possible.

I think you're going to have to ask the makers of this product that question. You might also consult a vet nutritionist to find out why. I'm not all that worried about the contents of the 'sugar' which I assume you mean the sorbitol it contains.

no sugar or artificial sweetener. Has organic stevia leaf listed. It is not too sweet. I drink it with unsweetened almond milk and it has a very minimally sweet yet pleasant taste.

The "other ingredients" that could be sweeteners are: cherry flavor, bitter masking agent and caramel color. However, this stuff does not taste sweet in any way to me. It's quite bitter.

The ingredients are not listed on the tube. It is non-toxic, that is the only info on the tube and box. Their website states that the exact ingredients are proprietary. My kids ate it, it's what they do.

The label states only that the product contains "natural flavor" but is not specific as to what that flavor is. My senior cat will not eat it unless I mix the contents into a bit of canned cat food thinned down with water.

I did not use this product. I found that the product was very artificial tasting. I suspect the product had artificial sweeteners. I disposed of the product.

My last order came as 'natural flavored'. I've just ordered another bottle but it won't arrive until after the first of December. It did not give me an option of flavor when I ordered and didn't realize it came flavored. I understood from the vet that it was tasteless to the cat mixed with the wet food so hopefully it will come just as natural flavored.

Absolutely no sweetener of any kind. Made of water, alcohol, propylene glycol, & artificial flavors. Not the real thing but tastes good in our smoothies or cheesecake.

Hi bacala, I have looked everywhere and all I can find out is that it is listed as an inactive ingredient. However I have been giving it to my cat for a year now and it works great and no side effects. Sorry I wasn't able to give you an exact answer.
