Pfizer Animal Pet-Tinic Vitamin-Mineral Supplement for Dogs and Cats, 4-Ounce

Bien

Was recommended by my vet because they were out of it. And on my dogs next appoint my dog was good to go

When I first wrote this review, my kitty was not yet diabetic. Once she was, this product was a complete no-no, as it is very high in sugar. Please do make sure you get labs done at least twice a year for your senior pets to make sure your supplements are not causing any issues. Okay, read on: Our kitty is in stage two of kidney insufficiency. The original vet placed B vitamins in her lactated ringers, so she was receiving the vitamins along with her subcutaneous fluids twice a week (we had to keep the bag refrigerated and in a dark place). We switched to another vet closer to home, and they stated that the sub-Q B vitamins only are effective for a few days, so they refused to push them into the lactated ringers bag (plus, the other vet was charging $40 a bag to do so - yikes). So, I used just the straight ringers for a full month, and my cat was just pooped. Although she was eating and her labs were stable, her energy levels had plummeted. I even tried pushing vit. B-12 into her sub-q fluids while they were pumping, but there was no improvement. So, I read reviews for Pet-Tinic and decided to give it a try. After just one feeding, my cat perked up completely. It was amazing. In addition, although she was eating fine before, she is totally begging for food all of the time now, and her coat has not been this soft and silky in ages. This product also contains iron which can be very important for a pet with kidney insufficiency (red blood cell production can be adversely affected). I purchased the 4 oz bottle and poured some into an old dropper bottle to make dosing easier. I place it in her wet food and mix it up. She's eating it fine (although she won't touch it on its own). I've heard some pets don't like the taste even when mixed in food. If that's the case, certainly you can use a dropper to squirt some into the pet's mouth. If you have a pet who is showing signs of sluggishess, has lost an appetite, and/or has a skin/coat problem, I highly recommend this product. By the way, our kitty is also taking Azodyl with amazing lab results, but it has not improved her energy; thus, the need for Pet-Tinic.

Good quality, and good availability (as it is used via vet advice for a senior chihuahua). No problem with edibility, esp. when added to either wet or dry dog food.

I have used Petinic for a few years. I think it works, and gives proper nutrition. My dog is 15 years old, and still going strong. My vet said he is in very good condition for his age. That might also be because I have fed him a homemade diet for the last few years (and a homemade Traditional Chinese Medicine diet (heating/cooling diet for the last 2 years, which really made a difference). Plus, he gets supplements to keep his kidney and liver values at normal levels. My vet said Petinic is decent for a pet vitamin. The thing I HAAAATE about Petinic is the CAP on the bottle. Every time you cap the bottle, it drips down the side, and without fail, when you put it back in the refrig, you will have a sticky mess in your refrig the next time you go to use it. Even if you wipe the cap before you cap it, somehow it still becomes a mess. ALSO, I travel back and forth every few days to another house, and many times, the bottle will fall over in my food bag (even though I have tried to prop it up) and even though you tighten the cap, I will always left with half the bottle emptied out in the bottom of the food bag. This has, I believe, molasses in it to make it palatable for the dog to eat it, so it becomes a big sticky mess. I have battled this dang cap disaster for the several years I have bought Petinic. PLEASE, PETINIC, FIGURE OUT A DIFFERENT CAP DESIGN!!! If I could find another liquid vitamin for my dog that was certified to be really good for him, and was decently priced, I would have to say goodbye to Petinic.

This product has saved my cats life twice now. I will continue to tell everyone about it, as I been to various different vets and most times it seems that vets have no idea what this product even is - which is totally baffling to me.In September , my cat had a red blood cell count of 8% (normal range is 35-40ish). I was told she had no chance to live unless she got a blood transfusion ASAP, hospitalization, and most likely vet visits for life. I left the ER vet devastated and under the assumption I’d be back in a few days to euthanize my cat as she was so so weak and at this point I was literally oral syringe feeding her wet food with chicken broth and unflavored pedialyte for hydration. After digging on the internet, I found this product. She received .8 of a ml x2 a day 12 hours apart for a little under a month. I took her back to my primary vet for blood work and her results were within normal range. In literally 3 weeks this brought my cats HCT up to 40%.This second time around my cat had a HCT of 15. (I’m kicking myself for stopping giving her this completely, as I did for an entire 6 months.) She’s been receiving pet Tinic this time around for about a week and a half. I’m not sure where her levels as currently, but her behavior has onlyImproved as she’s not as weak or tired as she was even a few days ago. She’s starting to zoom around, parkour, and return to mischievous behavior .I’ll tell everyone and anyone about this product . I’ve received many diagnoses about what my cat is dealing with, but one thing is certain is that this product has without a doubt saved her life.
