Cat Nutri - cal 4.25oz

Great gel easy to apply if they will not eat just apply the amount needed to the front leg of the cat and they simply lick it off and with this being high calorie and all the extra vitamins and minerals they need to get over any not eating phases due to illness or just being old needing that extra care i'd highly recommend this high calorie gel especially cat's with diarrhoea it's very effective to keep there calorie intake up doesn't smell that bad and if they will not eat on it's own then all you need to do is put the portion need on there front leg and they simply lick it off and it seems to helps to make them hungry too but this is fantastic gel cause it set's your worry aside off your cat not getting enough calories during illnesses I've alway order this now it's handy to have in your first aid cupboard it as a good use by date definitely 5*

My cat won’t touch this on its own, but I mix it with Lick-e-lix and he goes absolutely mad for it. I got this because my cat is suffering from a severe respiratory infection and stopped eating. He is being treated for his infection and given appetite stimulants, and in addition to this gel/lick-e-lix combination he has his appetite back and is gaining weight.

Our cat had to stay overnight at the vets due to severe dehydration and high temperature. She had lost loads of weight and they found she had numerous lumps/tumours on her intestine. The vet said she was also anaemic and the tumours were possibly stopping her absorbing nutrients thus the weight loss, wobbly head and imbalance. The vet didn't give us much hope. She was given an antibiotic just incase her symptoms were not caused by the tumours (seemed unlikely). Her temperature came down overnight and we were allowed to take her home but with understanding that it may not be for long (days to a couple of weeks). We struggled for three days to get her to eat. She wouldn't drink water. I ordered this paste on the third day (Saturday) out of desperation when I saw her licking sand - clearly she is looking for minerals. It arrived very quickly, so started giving it to her on the Sunday. She didn't like it mixed in food - it was hard to get her to eat food anyway - so I just put pea sized amounts on my finger and she licked it off. When she rejected the paste I put it on her paw and she licked it off. I also kept persevering with pushing every type of food on her - roast chicken seemed to be favoured as well as watered down wet food. Monday we went out in the afternoon but needed to get back within a few hours to ensure we could feed her. We discussed putting her to sleep because she it wasn't fair continuing like this - I couldn't sleep and was constantly checking her. We got home to her asking for food. We fed her. She wanted more. Then she went to the water bowl and drank. It was like a 180 degree turnaround. This was the second day after starting the paste. It may be that the antibiotics finally kicked whatever infection she had, but certainly the nutrients contained in the paste must be helping, as some deficiencies will mean the cat doesn't want to eat. So it's now Wednesday and she's eating loads. We have our old cat back - she still has tumours but for now she wants to eat and drink, and we can tell she is happy as she is back to her old chatty self. Highly recommend this paste even if all seems pointless. There are cheaper versions but I don't know if cats will like the flavour, and anyway, it's worth it to get them back on their feet as it shouldn't be used long term if it can be helped.

I bought this before spotting other cheaper alternatives - the price on this is ridiculous frankly. It also doesn't contain taurine which I would expect from any paste intended to supplement a cat's diet. On top of that it is not palatable for my cat. Would not buy again.

I have used this previously for many years for my cat whom had many ailments including: hyperthyroidism, heart failure and stomach problems and with all his meds and illnesses it took it out of him. With this, which I gave him daily for nutritional purposes, it kept him a big beautiful boy until he passed at almost 20 years of age. I've recently purchased this again for my 13 year old cat whom has had a violent stomach bug and I know it will improve his health in time after medication. I can't rate this highly enough. Highly recommended and worth every penny if you love your pets as family.

Our cat had stopped eating so I bought this to help her meet her energy requirements and get all her nutrients. This product doesn't work because it is SO THICK that any cat- unhealthy or not, struggles to lick and swallow it as it is a thick sludgy syrup. It smelled bad and neither of my cats (one is very healthy) wanted to go anywhere near it. I tried to put some on her nose/lips but it hardened to her fur and was impossible for her or us to clean off, meaning she died with clumped fur around her mouth. The tube was half empty when it arrived- not impressed and would not recommend, I do hope there are much better nutritional supplements for cats out there.

I thought I'd try this, because my 15 year old little cat hadn't been eating very well for a few days. She has a bit of arthritis, and the long cold winter wasn't helping and she was losing her appetite. She readily accepted a small ammount from a spoon,(or it could be put on a paw to be licked off). Obviously the taste is nice, and just half an hour later she tucked into her normal food with enjoyment. I'm sure that apart from being very nutritious, it must stimulate the appetite too. I've only had to give it to her a few times since, and every time I have, it's worked, and she's eaten well again. I can really recommend it. The arthritis problem,(apparantly very common in older cats and dogs) can be controlled effectively with greenleaf tablets available fom Amazon.

I read the reviews which all seemed promising of their cat eating this product. My cat is 16 years and lost so much weight due to a hyperactive thyroid I thought this product would be perfect to help fatten her up and give her all the nutrients she needs. She hates it 😢 won’t touch it and runs from me soon as she sees it. It’s very thick, I did manage to get it into a syringe to give her bits but it’s so thick by the time it blobbed out is was more all round her face that in her mouth and when it did go in her mouth she had no choice but to eat it. Which caused her more stress in it self. Why malt flavour? Why not make it more appetising to cats. Worth a try when your desperate to help your cats health, but a lot of money when they don’t eat it.

Excellent.

Come nella descrizione è un integratore nutrizionale peri gatti. La consistenza è gelatinosa, odore per noi sgradevole ma è sicuramente appetibile per i gatti. L'ho usato per il mio gatto di circa 8/9 anni che comunque vive all'esterno. Nell'ultimo periodo ha avuto problemi di salivazione, probabilmente qualche enterite o pustole in bocca, mangiava a stento e ha avuto pure perdita di pelo. Con questo prodotto e con una cura antibiotica sta meglio, sicuramente ha molto più appetito. Lo consiglio!

It helps if your cat's not eating as much as they should however my cat had a chronic illness and even though I gave him the gel... but it's a good product if your cat needs more calories it helps a lot.

Yeah, forget the directions to dab a little on a paw and let the cat lick it off. My cat was horrified at being smudged. She wouldn’t lick it off a plate either. I didn’t like taking a glob and shoving it into her mouth forcefully, and you should’ve seen her incredibly unhappy and disgusted face the one time I did. I got this to increase the calories my cat took in during a time she was too sick to eat well or enough. On that count, it’s fine and does offer calories and some nutrients. The issue is getting it into your cat. This stuff is pretty thick- you can’t syringe it in, and it doesn’t mix into food easily. What I ended up doing was putting a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon and a half of baby food in a tiny container and microwaving it 8 seconds. Then I could stir it all together, let it cool and syringe feed it. All the high calorie gels have questionable ingredients that you probably wouldn’t want to give your cat long term but this stuff *did* help keep weight on my cat til she recovered sufficiently to eat more on her own. At the same time I used this, I also tried the Richard’s Organics Nutrient brand. I prefer the Tomlyn - it’s far easier to get out of the tube and (after heating with some baby food) it mixed better. I also tried Under the Weather which was about the same to use as the Tomlyn, but was more expensive and in an inconvenient and large container. I’m definitely not a veterinarian but as a consumer I’d suggest that any high calorie gel is probably not enough to keep your cat going, even if you follow the directions. It certainly won’t fill an empty belly (which must be uncomfortable) or keep them eliminating regularly. Not eating can become habitual so stop it fast. What we did for our 8 pound cat: Got some of the Gerber (meat only) “2nd foods” for “sitters” (on the label). They have: Turkey Chicken Ham Beef Read labels. In most other brands, the calories are lower per jar. You can also easily mix and syringe with Hill’s A/D diet as it’s liquidy and nutritious. You need a prescription for this food from your vet. Even mixing a teaspoon of the gel with 1 1/2 teaspoons of food, you end up with a bunch of syringes of food. You look at it all and wonder how you can possibly get it into your pet, so many little syringes. Hey, it’s your pet’s life. Get someone to help if you can. Wrap that baby up in a towel or blanket like a burrito. Put the burrito on a towel or sheet you don’t care about to catch any droppings. Gently lift the side of the lip and get the food in there 1 ml at a time. Chase with some water syringes at the end. It’s not fun but it may keep your pet alive. We’ve done this twice daily now for 10 weeks. Our girl is just now starting to get back to more regular eating and moving around again. Worth it? Definitely. This is NOT intended as veterinary advice. If you have a vet who’ll give you syringe feeding guidelines, follow that advice. Our cat had 2 different vets (regular vet and internal medicine specialist) and neither one had any ideas. I’m just saying what we came up with and apparently worked. Best wishes to you with your pet.

My cat was ill and I ordered this to try to entice him to ingest at least some calories, but this was unfortunately a big fail. It might work for some kitties, but it was a big gloppy mess with my cat :( I put it on his nose and he would only half-heartedly lick it off. He did not seem to like the smell of it or the taste of it. Most of it stayed on his nose and I would have to wipe it off
