Liqui-Tinic 4x Flavored Vitamin and Iron Supplement for Dogs, Cats, Puppies & Kittens, 2 oz.

My cats seem to find it more palatable than its competitor. The texture seems to be better than some others, so they eat it more reliably. We feed good food, but 2 of my cats have CKD, and this seems to help keep their liver numbers good.

This is what we use for our kittens when they are under the weather, or to go along with deworming to give them added nutrients. Cat or kittens that may be anemic from deworming or parasites need added nutrients, and this vitamin works well.

On June 3, 2013, I took my cat to the Vet believing he may have Feline Leukemia. He had lost weight and wasn't eating right. The only thing I could get down him was bits of sardines, cream of chicken soup, and broth and I had to stand there and coach him to do it. For one week, while waiting for my Vet appointment, I prepared myself to let him go because I thought nothing could be done for him. I was extremely emotional over this whole thing, as the thought of putting him down just tore me up inside. I've had my cat for 13 years and he's my companion and best friend. I adore him.Long story short, and after about $300.00 of blood test, etc., and another three days of waiting for the lab results to see if he had a blood disorder --- we found out that Mikey was anemic. You can imagine my relief when I realized I didn't have to put him down. My daughter and granddaughter were with me that day for support and we were all so relieved and quite emotional when we found out he was going to live.The Vet had me purchase iron pills at Walmart (325 mg Ferrous Sulfate) and cut them in quarters, giving him 1/4 daily, which I did, and all went well with that for about a week. Then something inside of me told me to check Amazon for a liquid iron supplement for cats. And that's when I found Liqui-Tinic 4X. I printed out the fact page and gave it to my Vet for review. She called me back and gave me the go-ahead to try it.Honestly, I noticed a big change in his eating habits within two days. For one month I gave him two 1-mL treatments a day. And just recently I've upped him to three 1-mL daily treatments. Also the consistency of his bowel movements are so much better since using this product. Mikey is a big (tall) cat: a red point Siamese. When I took him to the Vet a month ago he was 13 pounds. He had lost 7 pounds. I'd like to see him gain at least three pounds back. It took him months to lose the weight and it will take him a few to gain some of it back.Soon I'll be taking him in for another blood test to re-check his iron. But in the meantime, I am so happy with Liqui-Tinic 4X. It's very easy to administer. My cat doesn't mind it, even though he does kind of shy from me when he sees the bottle. But that's only because he doesn't like anything stuck in his mouth by me. I'm going to keep him on this product for life. I take daily vitamins and now my cat does, too.The only draw back, if you want to call it one, is measuring the 1-mL in the dropper. But I found a solution that works for me. If you keep the dropper in the bottle and squeeze the black topper a couple of times, and shake the bottle while doing this, it fills the dropper up. So then all you do is release a little liquid back into the bottle until you reach the line that is marked 1-mL. I do this after each treament so the dropper is ready for the next use.I hope this review helps. This is a great product and I will keep Mikey on it for the rest of his life.CB

I haven't noticed a difference in my kitty yet. But he is due for a checkup and so I'm hoping his blood work will tell if this is helping. I'd hoped to see his nose become a darker shade of pink.Update (12/19/17): still haven't noticed much of a difference in my kitty and his bloodwork hasn't improved all that much. Vet said to increase dose a bit. I've titrated his dose up over the last few weeks. More waiting to see. All in all at least it's not hurting to try :)Ps. I've noticed he prefers this mixed in with tuna like the BFF canned but it's rich flavor is hard to mask in other foods he likes such as Waruva Kawabooty (spelling??).2nd Update: After following my vets direction to increase the dose, because my cat is much bigger than the average kitty, I'm PLEASED to report back that my kitty has improved tremendously! His bloodwork shows a significant improvement!! And even though I had read that his nose should regain a darker color this apparently isn't always the case.I'm so happy I stuck with this product!! I just didn't want to give too much and so it took a bit longer to get to the desired results.So, now I've changed my rating to reflect the outcome. I've definitely learned a good lesson about patience! If your kitty is in need of an iron supplement if certainly give this a try, work with your vet, and consider your cat's weight. Mine is a big ole kitty that's about 24 inches long and weighs about 28lbs. He gets his size from being part Maine Coon.

My vet recommended this medicine for my cats, but I can say that I have not seen any benefit or harm from this medicine because I have not noticed any changes.

My 10 year old dog was anemic and went to the ER vet where she recommended this product. Within a week he has more energy and he LOVES the taste of it.

My cat was severely anemic and she is only 3 years old. She stopped eating and drinking.After 2 different veterinarians visits (and about a $2200 bill ), both vets told me that she can only be saved if she will get blood transfusions which were to cost me another $2800/per transfusion without other costs, and she will be lifelong dependent on transfusions plus without the warranty that she will survive.I asked both Vets if the cat can be iron deficient anemic? They both told me "no she is not iron deficient".They diagnosed her with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.Did not check her Iron or B vitamin levels although I asked them.I took my kitty home after 2 days in the hospital and decided to order this supplement regardless of the grim diagnosis they gave me. God opened my eyes to this supplement, because I was searching for everything to save my sweet cat.In only 2 DOSES or Pet-Tinic... my cat was up walking and perked up.Now a month into the vets grim diagnosis that "most likely she will not survive", and her "family vet" not even checking on her...my sweet cat is all alive, happy, bouncing off the walls, playful. This supplement is a life saver! I mix it in her wet food and she gobbles it. She will not be going back to the same vets that is for sure.PS. 8 months after their diagnosis...my cat is still alive and happy:))). Still taking Pet-Tinic 2 x per week. All her blood work normal as she had her physical exam at another Vet office.
