Under the Weather Pet | Ready Cal for Dogs 100cc | High Calorie Supplement | Weight Gainer and High Calorie Booster | 10 Vitamins, 7 Minerals & Omega Fatty Acids

I honestly think this product help save my little guys life. He would eat and eventually stopped drinking water. I put the gel in his mouth a few times a day with some doggie electrolytes and after a few days he started eating and drinking on his own. He is now on the mend and a ball of energy like he was before.

We got this for our elderly cat who struggles to keep weight on due to a thyroid condition—and won’t take her medication. So far, this supplement has been a big help. She actually loves eating it, which is a huge relief, and she already feels a little less bony. It hasn’t worsened her existing intestinal issues, which was a concern. We’re hopeful that the added calories and vitamins will continue to support her and keep her comfortable and happy. Very thankful to have found this.

I wasn’t sure on whether or not to purchase this product due to the few comments saying their pet passed away even after trying it out. I am so glad that we decided to try it. My three year old pug got sick about a month ago with diarrhea and was not able to eat. We took her to the Vet and she got better with meds, but was still very low energy, and would barely eat. We have been concerned that she might not make it because she has been basically slowly starving herself. I have tried all sorts of different foods and nothing has worked. I gave her one dose of this product earlier today when it arrived, and she is already eating more, and her energy level is already going back up. She isn’t completely back to normal and I will probably continue to give it to her until she is back to her regular appetite but I think it’s safe to say it has saved her life and I couldn’t be more grateful to have more time with my for baby!

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, 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 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 Tomlyn brand. I prefer that one - it’s far easier to get out of the tube and (after heating with some baby food) it mixed better. It’s also less expensive and not in a big inconvenient container like Under the Weather.I also tried Richard’s Organics which was thicker than the Tomlyn or Under the Weather. It was the hardest to squeeze out of the tube and more difficult to mix in.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:TurkeyChickenHamBeefRead labels. In most other brands, the calories are lower per jar.You can also easily heat, 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 a day 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 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.

I cannot praise this company enough! The tube of Ready Cal saved our boy's life! We were on day 5 of him not eating after a ER vet visit for HGE. He refused all other foods, his favorite treats, and was withering away little by little.Blending some of the Ready Cal with his medication in a syringe put life back into our (11 year old) baby's eyes and jump-started his appetite.Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts!

It’s keeping my dog alive! She won’t eat and this is helping her. Need to sell in bigger tubes 😁

He was to sick toEven try

First off: this worked to help my very underweight kitty gain weight... ate with no issues so taste must be okay though I did mix it with either tuna or some sort of wet food.Second off: it's extremely thick and hard to mix. I popped it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it to where I could mix it up.. my kitty has gained about 3 lbs or 4 lbs. which is way better than him weighing 4lbs. He's an adult kitty who should weigh around 10 lbs or so. So this worked well to help get that weight back on. I do suggest though possibly getting the other one as this was a bit hard to measure out. I will be buying this again and keeping one or two on hand as a just in case type of thing.. if it wasn't so thick and hard to mix it would be a 5 star product.
