NOW Foods Pet Immune Support, Cats & Dogs, 90 Tablets

I almost never write product reviews, especially on Amazon. So this is a testament to how well this stuff works.

I have an exotic shorthair. Flat face, goopey eyes even on the best of days, trouble breathing, etc. My cat also seems to have almost no sense of smell probably because she has tiny nostrils and respiratory issues – this means she eats only one type of particularly pungent kibble, no interest in any of the 20+ different treat brands I’ve got her, no interest in wet food, no interest in any human food.

I do not agree with the breed, she was a rescue and really is the sweetest cat ever. Her life has been difficult because of her breed specific issues.

I’ve had her on this for around 2 weeks and the difference is astounding. I haven’t had to wipe her face at all this week, very little goops (nothing she can’t groom off herself), her breathing is way better, and she is taking an interest in other food and sniffing EVERYTHING. I’m shocked. I assumed this would help a bit but she really seems so much more lively and happy. She’s acting like an actual cat, playing and running around (which would have tired her out way quicker before), doing cat things she hasn’t done before.

I’ve had her for 2 years and I’ve never seen her like this. YMMV of course, and I can’t tell if the results will last long term. But I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Also great value. No scoop is included but it’s only a 1/8 tsp twice a week sprinkled over her food. This will last easily a year+.
She hasn’t turned her nose up at it yet so I don’t think she notices it’s there.

Definitely worth a try. Especially if you have a brachycephalic cat breed (flat face).

Bought this to replace our normal product that was on back order. It works okay, I have noticed my cat sneezes more often since switching though. It mixes well with wet cat food so it’s easy to give to our cat. The texture is good, less of a fine powder so it doesn’t create a lot of smoke. My cat doesn’t seem to mind the taste of it either which is good. Will probably switch back to our old brand since our cat was less sniffly before, but this is a good alternative.

My Yorkie hates the taste of it. But more than that, this product is not making her calm at all, instead, it’s making her restless. She’s alert at all times, growling at the door after every little sound… I wasted my money…

Very happy with this product. All 4 of my boys were starting to sneeze with the weather change or a kitty cold. I gave them each 1/8 of a tsp every 3 days in their wet food. They did not even taste it. Within a few days, no more sneezing! Highly recommend. 1 bottle will last you a lifetime if dosed properly.

Having spent 2K on seeing 5 vets over four months, this appears to have massively reduced my cat’s drippy nose and sneezing and she can now obviously smell more, and as a result, is less of a fussy eater. The vets reached the point where they could offer no more help, other than perhaps a referral for a CT scan, etc. but as my cat was basically otherwise well, and she chooses to remain indoors, this felt unnecessary. We did agree to an anaesthetic and nasal camera, which reassured us that polyps/growths appear unlikely, so before going down that route, I would thoroughly recommend giving this a try. Within 5 days of just a teeny amount in her food, once a day, there was a massive improvement.

I started using feline Lysine many years ago on advice from my veterinarian on how to keep runny noses/goopy eyes – hallmarks of calicivirus, rhinotracheitis, or feline herpes – from developing into full-blow upper respiratory infections. At the time I had a Mom cat and six babies – rescues from a hoarding situation – who’d been exposed to calicivirus. The vet said it was a good possibility they’d need to be on Lysine all their lives, every day. I went through several brands – Vetoquinol, TomLyn, a few off-brands – because just as I’d settled on one, the price would go through the roof, forcing me to find a new, affordable brand.

Finally NOW Foods started making their own version of Lysine – and it’s 16 oz – double the size I could get from the other brands – and usually under $10.00, which will last 5 cats two months, given once a day in food. So obviously, a lot of cost savings. This brand has no smell or taste, making it easy to disguise in kibble with a little wet food mixed in – that’s the pictures attached.

Also, I’ve used it for sick cats who’ve needed an immune booster – which Lysine also does; and for our litter of neonate kittens who didn’t have any colostrum from their feline Mom. I want to give them the best start I can, and I think it’s helping already. Also is a protein-builder, making it a good nutritional supplement for sick, senior, or baby cats.
