My cat only eats Meow Mix (indoor). Won't eat sample chewies from vet. Will she like this powder on dry food?

Our cats would probably eat around the powder if given the choice. We mix it into the wet food. As a thought you could try getting a squirt bottle and give the wet food one spray and then sprinkle the powder on it would stick to the dry food that way. Just don't over do it with the squirt bottle or it will end up all mushy.

I have only put it on wet food, but if your cat likes fishy tastes, it might work on dry. I mix a scoop in with the wet about 3 days a week, and my 2 cats seem to like it. I originally started using it because one of my cats is part Persian and sometimes has reddish goopy eyes common in Persians. The Viralys totally prevents it.

None of my cats will eat the lysine chews either. I know some people have tried on dry food with success but I've only tried it on wet food. When I was was just sprinkling it on top of the wet food and not mixing it in I noticed they were not eating all of their food. I'm not sure if it was the smell though. I just switched to Tomlyn which is less stinky & cheaper and it doesn't seem to bother them when I don't mix it quite as well as I should when I'm in a hurry.

The powder does have a distinctive odor (kind of fishy), but I only notice it when I sprinkle it on wet food. Of course a cat's sense of smell is better than mine. I think she will probably eat it since she won't really know it's there.

The powder has no taste and it will spread finely. As soon as your cat takes a bite or two, the saliva will dissolve the other crystals around them. It is a good powder to disguise in almost everything. Just don't pile it up in one pile. Then they just get suspicious!

My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food. Since I have several cats, I put this food in a separate area for him so he will get it. He seems to like the taste okay, or doesn't notice a difference. I doubt that this would work on dry food. This same company markets a Lysine cat treat that has very tiny round pebbles. All my cats absolutely love those, and I would recommend them over putting powder on dry food. There is also a product from this company of Lysine cat treats that are larger ... sort of shaped like a fish, and they do not like those. They love the ones that have very tiny round pebbles of Lysine treats. They are a little chewy. My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food.

I give my cat a half scoop of this product that I also give my dogs. They do make a "cat" formula with a different flavor that is supposed to be more tempting to cats, but mine has no problem eating this one and it's cheaper.

I would guess that whatever the additional ingredient(s) is(are) is not palatable to your cats. They have discriminating palates and won't eat what doesn't taste or smell good to them. Plus, cats are quirky. One cat will eat these anywhere, the other will not eat them if I am in the chair in which I feed her treats, as she knows that this is not her usual "green cat treat". If, however, I give her the lyine treat where she naps, she eats it with relish! Works every time! Try a different location with the lysine, perhaps that will work.

Mine seem drier than typical treats as well, but my cat still devours them; so it could be just a crust that's formed on the outside of the treat. He goes crazy when he hears the bag every day, so the hardening definitely hasn't diminished the taste!

My cats will not eat this by itself. I give them a 1/4 teaspoon in their wet food. They get about two tablespoons of wet food. I'm not sure how it mixes with dry food. Is having separate bowls an option for wet food?

No, I would not at all recommend them. For cats that love & can handle the crunch, they're fantastic. You may want to try another all natural brand for her comfort & digestion.

I feed Fussy Cat as well and would love to see this question answered by someone who actually uses this brand.

My cats eat it on dry food as well...they love it! And it makes a difference. It's my favorite supplement for cats and have used it for years

If I am not mistaken, somewhere in the product literature, or online, it says it is normal for the powder to be moist. I used several bottles of it and all of them were that way, so I got used to it. If you are really concerned, you might ask your vet. or the manufacturer.

No. This product is a very, very fine powder and I sprinkle about 1/8th teaspoon on their dry breakfast food and then mix it with my fingers to get a dispersed coating on all their food pieces. I also put the same amount on their dinner food. I have to say that our two cats are very picky about their food, and this never posed a problem for them, not even the first time we used it. Truly love this product...I feel that I am doing something very good for my cats.

I have never tried it on dry food. I was working with an underweight cat who had been fed a low quality kibble. Between her gaunt hips, dry yet greasy looking fur and constipation, it was clear that her recent nutrition had been poor, and the vet sent us home with a medicated canned food and this supplement. For the first feeding I mixed the FortiFlora with a very small amount of water to dissolve, then mixed it all in with the canned food. This worked well. Also consider mixing half a packet with the water, then sprinkling the rest on top of the canned food. If you want to use kibble try to think of a way to apply a dissolved mixture over kibble. Maybe mist it on with a spray bottle?

I'm not familiar with that brand of cat litter but just a couple lessons I've learned with my unit: Clumping type litter is a must and making sure you keep enough fresh litter in the unit is important and the type of food your cat eats can also make a big difference. Mine only eat dry kibble (Science Diet mostly) and I only have to change mine 1-2 times per week max. If you're doing these things and if your cat is covering properly, I'd say your unit is defective. Hope this helps!

Bought mine from the vet and she insisted that the containers are never sealed. But the price there is too expensive and now I buy it from Amazon. You can trust this company. Have 2 kitties and they eat the powder twice a day on wet or dry food.

look at the maufacturer and google it.....I found no change in my elderly cat and stopped giving it.....he would not eat the food with it mixed in....and I am not shoving a pill in his throat with this not being a sure benefit to him. He eats like a pig now, maintains great weight, his teeth are cleaned, and he gets quality Royal Canin food.

My cats don't. Just be sure to mix the powder in well with the wet food. If they hit a large enough clump of the powder, it'll be a little bitter for them. A trick I used was to heat the food a little to amplify the smell and taste of the food.

Yes, My cat will not eat her food if I sprinkle it on her food. She takes the pill just fine. If you are comfortable pilling you cat fell free too. The box says you can either sprinkle the capsules on food or pill you cat. It is effective either way.
