Vetoquinol Nutri-Cal 4.25 Oz - High Calorie Supplement for Cats and Dogs - Pack of 2

Helped put some weight back on my mom’s elderly cat. Very easy to just add to her food, she likes the flavor a lot too. Will purchase again as necessary.

Very good quality and very effective for bringing the appetite back. Also provides necessary bacteria needed for digestion. It doesn't have a smell, and the size of the tube for the price is great. It is easy to squeeze out of the tube as long as it is not refrigerated.

i always keep this in stock for my small breed dogs and always reccomend it for any pet owners with small breeds or puppies. dogs (most) love the taste and works well when needed for an extra boost when dogs are off their food. very sticky but easy to dispense in small amounts at a time. significantly better price than one would pay at a vets office!

Great product for cat that's under weather and not eating..supplies calories to get them thru..I put a dollop on my index finger and scrape it on inside corner of mouth..doesn't taste bad..Tuna flavor

Does this product work? Yes, wonderfully! My cat is 14 years old and gave up eating (don't know why, we have a vet appointment in a few days, but had to wait awhile to get it) and was losing weight by the handful every day. Started her on this for a few days and now she's back to eating pretty well, almost to her regular amount.Is it easy to use?? Nope. Not for me anyway. I had to use a syringe to get it into her. Wrapped her in a towel so just her head was exposed and did it that way. She hated it, but it's better than the other option (a dead cat from not eating).Is it messy?? Very. When she fought me forcing it in her, she'd turn her head quickly and the goop would go down her face, chin, neck, wherever, but luckily I had thought of this before hand and had a warm wet wash cloth on standby just for that. Though she still has places on her fur,where it didn't come all the way out. (Again, having a messy cat is better).Does it taste good?? Noooo!! I'm not a cat, so I can't speak for them, but,, yes, I tasted it. Just the tiniest of licks off my finger from the new tube. To me, it tasted like old dead fish, (it does contain fish oils so it stands to reason). Would not recommend trying it yourself though.Would I recommend it?? Yes, absolutely!! Be prepared for your pet not liking it though. Some love it, while others won't touch it. If you *NEED* to force it into into your pet, make sure you absolutely need to and know what you're doing and how to do it. This can be very dangerous if a pet gets it down the wrong way and it gets into their lungs. And do a little at a time.I swear this ,goopy stuff saved my cat. She'd been a little off her feed for a few months (after my younger cat suddenly died of cancer). I didn't think too much of her gradual weight loss because she was pretty plump anyway. But when she started getting bony, I knew something had to be done. I thought it was just a matter of feeding her more, but when she refused, I thought of Nutra-Cal. So glad I did, and that I didn't give up when things got messy.

My cats love this product making it easy for them to eat it in their food.

I have used this stuff for years, we have anywhere from 8 to 25 cats and kittens in the average season, so keeping everybody healthy is a chore.I usually keep the stuff on hand or another brand I like, just to add to their food when they are extremely young. I also give it to the mothers to replenish them, and it works amazing.Provided your cat is not deadly sick, this should do the trick for simple things where they cannot eat too much or don't seem to be nursing.It's perfect for a weight gainer, and to replenish nutrients that your kittens and cats may lose during certain times, it is not a cure for anything. I'm not a veterinarian, and don't pretend to be. I'm a kennel and Cattery owner. I recommend this product.The price could be a little lower, you do go through them fast if you have multiple cats, but other than that, you get what you pay for it. It works, bottom line.

Love this stuff. I use it for my dogs and cats.
