Animal Essentials Colon Rescue for Dogs & Cats - Herbal Laxative, Constipation Relief, Stool Softener with Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root - 2 Fl Oz

I have an older kitty who suffers with frequent constipation. Super frustrating as he is a picky eater and it's hard to get him to take anything to help with that (olive oil, salmon oil, etc.) I have bought this product many times. It helps him so much, and he doesn't mind the taste. Even though it is a little pricey, I highly recommend this tonic. I'm sure it has saved us many trips to the vet!

I have a senior cat with hairball problems this keeps things moving in the litterbox. He's not constipated and straining and he's happy and comfortable.

I'm very thankful for this product. My 16yo (almost 17) female cat has struggled with hard bowel movements for about two years, so we started using generic benefiber in her food, and that helped. This was something my vet has always recommended for our older cats (always check with your own vet first, of course). But a couple of weeks ago my cat suddenly couldn't poop at all. It seemed completely stuck. By directive of the vet we increased the fiber significantly and multiple times a day. It didn't do much. Although it has helped long term, short term was useless. After about five days, and one vet visit saying we have to consider euthanasia, the vet said to pretty much do whatever I thought could help. Apparently the hard stool wasn't the problem at all. From old age, my cat lacks the strength in her abdominal walls to push the stool along.She was a petite 6 pound cat, and was down to 5 pounds. SKELETAL. She had become so weak that her little meow didn't have a sound when she would try to be heard. I already use Animal Essentials brand for their "tinkle tonic" for my cat with urinary blocking problems (Totally worth it! Go to that product to see the review I left there.), so when I went to amazon searching for anything that might help and saw this brand offered something for the colon, I thought why not? I ordered it and amazingly received it the VERY next morning. Just getting it so quickly was a relief. Cats lose weight so fast! When I gave this to my cat, I noticed within minutes she was already slightly (very slightly) more energetic. I don't know what the calories are in it, but whatever sugar content/nutrients it has perked her up. For that alone I would recommend this to someone with a cat with hard stool/weak bowel problems who has stopped eating. I give this to my cat three times a day, and after the first day, she began to eat small amounts again. After two days, her meow returned. By day three she could scream her meow again lol. We are now one week later, using it three times a day and she has gotten her feistiness back, and her appetite is FULL force! She hurries away when I try to give her the medicine, she struggles, paws, squirms and fusses. She doesn't seem to mind the flavor, but she does NOT like having it administered to her. I just can't risk putting it on a plate for her to lick up and maybe not feeling like eating it that dose, so we administer it with a little dropper to be sure. She does still struggle a little with her bowel movements, but they aren't rock hard anymore and the struggle is definitely less. The stools are just normal firmness like our other cats. Her weight is VERY SLOWLY returning, which is to be expected because of her age. The upswing just lags on these things.I should also say, with her size, and her body and mouth are so tiny compared to my male cats, we can't use the full recommended dose. The bottle recommends .5ml dose, but her mouth is too small and I don't want her to choke, so we use .3 and it still works fine for us. Our vet is aware that we're using this Colon Rescue and they approve. You should always check with your vet with any type of medication or holistic regimen, but I have to say from my personal experience, this has been a life saver for us. I am so thankful! I already ordered a bigger bottle because my little kitty is doing so well on it. Awesome!

Love this for my Maine coon cat who suffers with hairballs. Also great for diarrhea and constipation. He gets almost a full dropper 2-3x daily when this happens. Itry to give him 1 dropper regularly.. for prevention He tolerates it well. The only thing is the cost is so high(only 4 stars for that reason). The price just went up too & New bottle.. thought the wrong item came.

Works well and my dog seems to like it. I continue to buy it because it works!

I used this product for my senior cat for about a year. Worked great as far as stopping his vomiting. Unfortunately I just opened the most recent bottle I bought and saw an extremely different consistency. This product appears to have gone by way of a lot of post Covid products. Made different, loss of quality. What used to be a dark thick liquid is now a very light watered down product. Way too many companies have done this and are getting away with it. For now. Real disappointment because I looked for something for so long. I originally bought this at a pet supply shop after having a long conversation with one of the sales associates. The product actually was the first thing I tried that actually helped my old kitty. I then was happy to see it sold through Amazon. Well. Now I have to start a new search for a new product since this is now mostly water. I also am going to mention this to the shop owner where I originally ordered this. They are very good about stopping stocking products that have this type of complaint.

My pup was backed up for about a week and a half so I bought this stuff. 3 days into using it and she kept us up all night needing to go to the bathroom again and again. And not to get too detailed but it was straight up liquid every time. So yeah it cleared her up but at what cost haha

Very good product for dogs
