NOW Pet Health, L-Lysine Supplement, Powder, Formulated for Cats, NASC Certified, 8-Ounce

I bought this last year for a friend with a cat that had herpes, but she didn't want it. Recently, I took in a wounded feral cat that had been attacked by another animal. He had goopy eyes and a runny nose. I consulted the vet who treated the cat's abscess about using L-Lysine to try to clear up his eyes and nose, and the vet agreed it was worth a try and figured out the correct dosage for the cat. I have been mixing it into his wet food for a week now, and his eyes and nose have cleared up. I am posting a before and after picture of this tangerine dream of a cat. He's semi-feral and will not let me clean his eyes, but they are so much better now. The powder seems to dissolve into the wet food because he eats the wet food without any issues, so I am assuming that it's not altering the flavor of the wet food. He now looks better than ever.

Always works great on my little feral outdoor kitty who gets goopy eyes, usually clears it up within 24 hours . Very good

Absolutely love this product! Not only is it a great price but its so easy to use! Its odorless and tasteless so you can mix it right in with some wet food and you animals will never know! Great quality as ive been using this for a long time and wouldnt change. Its kinda gritty but if mixed well they will never know! It keeps my animals healthy all year long and gives them that immune boost they need! Helps protect against URI!(

My cat has feline herpes and is very sneezy and snotty when he goes through flares. He gets Claritin and a lysine supplement every day, and that helps a lot. I usually use Viralys (500mg lysine dose), but wanted to try this supplement since it is cheaper and the dose is lower. Unfortunately, the twice weekly dose did not work for my cat. It's not surprising given that the Viralys is 500mg of lysisne twice a day and the NOW supplement is only 250mg of lysine twice a week. I switched to giving the NOW lysine daily, but he is still sneezing snot everywhere. I may try giving him 2 scoops a day, but it feels like a lot. Anyway, I'm glad this product works for other cats, but we will have to go back to the other supplement once this one runs out.

My cat has feline herpes so he suffers from gooey eyes every day and occasional sneezing boogers. I’ve used a previous product before and it made no difference. I decided to try this product and it has been very beneficial for my cat. I no longer have to clean his eyes multiple times a day and can now do a few days without having to clean. The wetness of his eyes has gone drastically down and hardly ever see him sneezing anymore. I also love that I only have to give it to him twice a week instead of daily. There’s a very good amount of the product for the price and has lasted me a long time. The amount is so small so the bottle last awhile, but even tho the serving is small it is still very effective. My cat doesn’t even notice when I put it in his food so I assume there’s no weird taste. Will keep ordering this as my go to lysine product!

Seems to help boost our cat’s immune system. He and his brother had feline herpes as stray kittens. While the brother never has flare ups, this cat is very sensitive and easily stressed and gets flare ups more often (sneezing, runny eye). You have to stir the powder into a small amount of food. You can’t sprinkle it on and assume it will disappear into the wet food. From reading the reviews it looks like some people don’t realize it needs to be stirred in or it will dry on top and become like a crust.

I feed some feral cats and wanted to see if I could help fight some of the URIs and eye infections they get occasionally. But if I'm reading the instructions correctly the recommended dosage is 1/8 teaspoon twice a week or so. Have you ever tried to measure 1/8 of a teaspoon? Even with four of them this becomes a lifetime supply. .Perhaps offer a smaller size.

I feed a colony of feral cats, and in the past week, about 7 of them had runny eyes, runny noses and sneezing frequently. They weren't feeling well and not eating as much food as usual. I tried this and within 5 days, they are all recovering. I put a little bit in each bowl once a day. They didn't notice anything unusual about the food, since there is no smell or flavor to it. NOW, they aren't sneezing, their eyes are clearing, and they are feeling much better! This really works and they are so grateful!

Seemed to work, huge bottle last long time.

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).

Muy bien, rinde mucho

Usato per gattini che già dopo un mese di vita hanno preso l'herpesvirus dalla mamma..con fatica e dopo mesi posso ritenermi soddisfatta è stato comunque un supporto in più per il loro sistema immunitario!

I use it with strays cats and I think it works.
