Nutri-VetUri-Ease Paw Gel for Cats, Helps Maintain Urinary Tract Health, Cranberry Extract for Urinary Support, Delicious Salmon Flavor,3 oz

Í recomended very good for cats

This has been great for my cat who has had blood in his urine from time to time. Although have not been using very long, have not had his issues. I had read reviews that made me debate about purchasing, this did come in as a brownish paste, not a gel, did not look like pictures in ad, but he loves it. I have it in my subscribe and save to come every month. I will update review if he has his issues down the road. Also good price

I bought this because I thought the lower amount of Methionine (120mg) would be easier on my little guys system. After the purchase, I started reading some the reviews; Uh-Oh. Peope (and cats) loved the original formulation, the tube with the white cap. People (and cats) in general hated the new formulation, the tube with the black cap. Well, I got the black cap tube, but I thought, let me give it a try. Previous reviews were not kidding! I could not squeeze this stuff out of the tube! I put the tube in one hand, interlocked my fingers and pushed both hands together, really hard! Nothing.... I finally put the tube down on my desk, put my hand on it and put my weight down on the tube; got about a half inch "segment" to push out. Put some on my finger and offered it to my cat; he wasn't having any of it. Bottom line, this stuff isn't as advertised as a "gel", it's a thick, dense paste that's difficult to squeeze out of the tube, and would be difficult to smear on your cats paw. Although it's not a returnable item, you can get a refund. Shame on this company for promoting this crap on cat owners. they should go back to their original formulation, or just discontinue this item. Even the sales page for this item shows the white cap tube, and if you scroll down, shows a little pileof what is supposed to be this "gel" as a white, creamy looking substance. shame on them! Shame!

After the 4th of July my snookums started straining to pee, poor thing. She was using her litter box 6 times a day and making tiny tinkles- I called the vet and they said it was stress due to the fireworks (its BAD over here!) they did not have any openings until August and Im not letting her suffer that long so i purchased UriEase- i put it on her paw and she shook it off all over the place! I wish I would have taken a picture! It was hilarious! So after I cleaned up, i put a smaller dollop on her paw and gave her some space... 5 minutes later she came out if the kitchen licking her chops and giving me winkies- yay! My grouchy, finicky calico/tortie mix likes it! A few hours later her stream was better- this is day 2 and she ate the gel right off my finger and her stream is back to normal. Highly recommend! Very happy with this product, easy to administer and fast results.

My cat is FLUTD and had suffered another blockage after years of using a cranberry powder prescribed by the vet. Because of his IBD he was unable to have a special urinary diet. After some research I found the active ingredients in this product are effective in helping prevent crystals so we decided to give it a try. I tried putting it on his paw, he just shook it off and ran away. So I put it on his food, he ate around it. He is a food hog so eventually he came back and ate it, but he didn't like it much. Because the dosage relied on a size of a dollop I was worried about over or under doing it, and since he was not reliably eating it, I switched him back to the power that was easier to measure and he would eat every time. It seems like a good product, it just didn't work for us.

My cat likes the taste, but it is a very thick paste and not easily licked up. Vet worthy brand was so easy to give with a soft paste. I can't find it on here anymore and this one was recommended. I would not buy this if your cat doesn't do thick paste. Harder to get out of the tube then the last of the toothpaste

My elderly cat got her first urinary tract infection. She was going into the litter box every 5-10 minutes, straining for a long time, and only a few drops of urine were coming out. I knew what that meant, as I'd had a male cat before who developed crystals in his urine which blocked his urinary tract. Fearing that she too had crystals and not just a bacterial infection, I rushed her to the vet. They said there was blood in her urine, but that their urinalysis did not reveal any indication of crystals. The vet also noted that her urine was at pH 6. So it was in a normal range, and yet her white blood cell count was high, indicating an infection. The vet was somewhat alarmed by the slightly low pH because usually bacteria can not exist in that acidic range. I explained that I had given her some of this stuff the night before and she went "Ohhh, OK".Anyway, this gel has DL-methionine, which is an amino acid which is known to acidify the urine. It is often added as an ingredient to urinary health cat foods. BUT this gel also contains a high amount of cranberry and some vitamin C, both of which also naturally acidify urine. I know from my own experience that I HATE, ABHOR taking antibiotics. The vet prescribed my cat $48 of Clavamox. I've used it before commonly to treat my pets when they've had infections such as abscesses or other injuries. It's always given them severe diarrhea but it does the job. In this case, I didn't want to subject my elderly kitty to such a harsh treatment when in my own personal experience, cranberry does an even better job and faster too. I've been able to curb my own UTI's in one day by taking concentrated Whole herb cranberry capsules.Well, I bought the antibiotics just so the vet wouldn't think I was neglecting my cat. Didn't touch it or even open the box. Its still sitting in the fridge. I just kept giving her an inch of Uri Ease every day. Within days her symptoms were gone. Just to be sure I applied the gel to her everyday for a week. She HATES eating anything that she know she HAS TO eat. So even supplements that taste good, if I mix them into canned food, she will not eat it. So the gel form is perfect for my purposes. Since cats can't stand having 'dirty' in their fur, I just apply the gel to her side and within minutes she has licked it off.Sorry, long story, but the point is this: Uri Ease Gel is a must-have in any cat-owner's arsenal. They are all prone to UTI's and males especially to kidney and bladder issues, so it never hurts to be prepared.AWESOME PRODUCT!!!--------------------------IMPORTANT UPDATE as of mid-2011 or so. This product has been re-formulated so that it's now less than 40X as potent as before!!! See my comment for ingredient and content/dosage changes. Thanks!
