VetriScience UT Health Chews, UT Strength Cranberry and D-Mannose Bladder & Urinary Tract Supplement for Cats, With Bromelain and Probiotics, Chicken, 60 Count

Great

I have a male cat with urinary problems. My vet recommended this product to help. It arrived and I opened the package to begin giving it to him. The chews, and I use that term only because the manufacturer lists it as being so, are very hard and large for a cat. I broke it in half to give it to him. He sniffed it and walked away.Several of my other cats came when they heard me open the package thing it was a treat so I offered a piece to them. All except one female sniffed & walked away. The female licked it and tried to bite it then immediately spit it out. Our new kitten who will eat anything gave it a sniff and walked away.6 cats and no takers. Kinda a worthless treat if it's so unpalatable that all my cats refuse to eat it.I figured I'd wait until later when my sick boy was hungrier to make another try. I broke it into very small bits, did I mention it was very hard, which was a challenge. I then mixed it with his wet dinner good. He took a few licks and again walked away.Needless to say this product is worthless if I can't get my cat to eat it. Even more so when all 6 cats refuse to eat it.

I have a picky eater for a cat. I started feeding him these about 9 month ago. At first he loved them. Now he likes them. The difference at first he gobbled them up. Now I break them into pieces for him and he eats them. They were recommended by his holistic vet. It's the only treat he gets. Because he's a fluff ball he looks heavier than he weighs. The vet has me counting kcals. I couldn't find the information on the bag or the internet. I called VetriScience and left a message. They returned my call! Each chew, one serving, has 5 kcals per chew.

I read the mixed reviews and wasn't sure if my picky eaters would take these, and amazingly BOTH DID!!!One of my cats is near the very end of her life. She's stopped taking most food and is barely drinking because of her urinary problems. The prognosis doesn't look good, and the care is extremely expensive.I took a look shot with this, just hoping to ease maybe some of her discomfort. I had it shipped overnight and was just hoping that at least one of my cats with urinary problems would take them.They wanted more after giving them the recommended amount (I didn't oblige, they weren't that happy about that part).She ate the whole thing after I broke it into crumbles!! I really don't know that this will be enough for her, but I had to try something, anything!So far, extremely pleased. I will update if anything changes (but it probably won't be the fault of the product).Update: both of them LOVE these treats still and I think it's bringing my baby back to us! I can't say that it's the treats alone, I'm sure they are correcting something though that was causing her major issues. She's eating and drinking quite a bit better after a few days of these!Second update: Our precious girl passed on. Our other cat still craves the treats, actually has a habit of never letting us forget to feed him one. He seems to have no issues with UTI problems. We're definitely pleased with the product and purchase it regularly now.

Half the time, the treats are soft and my cat enjoys them. The other half, they're hard, they stick together, and I have to chop them up and add them to my cats wet food. I wish this products quality was more consistent.

My cat is getting older and starting to show signs of kidney weakness. I want to do every thing I can to keep him healthy. I have 3 water bowls around the house and put these treats in his evening meal or alone as a treat. He eats them up either way. They have some of the same ingrediants as human urinary tract supplements, like D-Mannose and Cranberries. The bag will stay fresh as long as you seal it shut every time you gather treats. There are 60 treats in a bag with should last you a month if you follow directions.

This product has been a lifesaver for my two year old male cat. He suffered with bladder problems and UTIs and I was searching for a natural, safe preventative treatment. At least for him, this has worked perfectly and he has been on it for about four months. He takes these "treats" twice a day and I also give him Tinkle Time (sold on Amazon as well with rave reviews) twice per day mixed in his wet food. I have had multiple cats over the years and this is the first time I have experiences this agonizing problem with a pet. I think the ingredient in these tabs that is truly effective is the D-Mannose. It is a sugar found in cranberries (but it does not raise blood sugar in animals or humans) it goes through the urinary tract. Any foreign bacteria will release from being attached to the body wall and then attach to the D-Mannose molecules (keeping the urinary tract sterile and healthy), and is then flushed out of the animal's system when they urinate. It is commonly used by women and young childern who get UTIs as well, is natural and completely safe. It is important for any cat with this condition to be kept on a wet food diet because dry food is foreign to cats (their natural prey is not dry) and they are genetically not into drinking enough water to keep their bladder and kidneys flushed out. There are multiple products our there with similar formulas, but for my cat these tabs have been the perfect solution to his problem!
