Has anyone given this to a cat that will not eat wet food and they actually ate it?

Our cat wouldn't eat anything for awhile. We had to syringe feed it to start then his liver enzymes got better (from eating) and he will now.... it depends on what is wrong with your cat.

Well, I had an 8 week old kitten that was very small and choked on every soft food I tried. My vet recommended this and as long as I put very small amounts on the plate at a time she eats it (loves it) and doesn't choke. She is doing well now.

Yes...my cat has CKD and she eats it. She's picky so I have to jump through hoops and sometimes combine it with the new Broths from Fancy Feast but she does eat it. She does better with this than her kidney food (Hills K/D).

I've used this on two cats neither of which would eat it mixed into food. I mixed it into yogurt instead and one of the cats ate it with no problems. I had to mix it with water then give it to the other cat with a syringe. (Luckily he was very easy to pill, unlike the first cat.) The first cat had two bouts of acute pancreatitis and Forta Flora helped clear up the problem in a few days. The other had chronic pancreatitis and had to have it on a daily basis. While it couldn't cure the problem, it was obvious if he had missed a dose.

I only feed my cat wet food and use the automatic feeder all the time. He gets fed a small amount every 4 hours, and it seems to stay fresh when I fill it up with 5 servings. The food does not get hard and stale on top like it does if it is sitting out in a dish for hours. My kitty eats it without complaining, so it must be fine. He is picky so if it did not taste good, he would not touch it.

Hi Anna, You would have to ask a tough one, wouldn't you? Just kidding. As far as I know, you're right. All I know is one of my kitties was very fussy about what she would eat and when she started eating these over and over I think I was just relieved. Hope that helps you Bill

Not in my opinion, no; too long and there could be a risk of it sticking horizontally. The caps are gelatine so would take a while to dissolve, if this occurred. However my cat is a nightmare for rejecting anything in her food and I did empty contents into butter pats at first. In the end I spread tiny ammounts through meals through the day as she's a snacker. Now she eats it anyway and is used to the taste. Worth persisting, it has changed my Ankh's life and she can move and jump again and is no longer in constant pain.

My dog (and even one cat) ate it for years without any problem. I don't know about now -- I haven't bought them for about a year.

You can put it in their water dish - some say their cats enjoyed the taste. Mine did not. We had some transferred aggression issues and I wanted to know if the cat was getting any. I gave it in a small syringe like you would medicine. Be aware, it does contain alcohol and some have concerned about that. My vet ok'd it's use and I did see a calming effect. Good luck!!

I think I would ask a vet about this. Of course, many vets will not approve of raw food for a cat, much less a kitten. My cat ended up getting diarrhea with this food, but I think it was my fault for leaving it out too long. Nevertheless I did quit feeding my cat the food, though she really liked it. I now feed canned (Fancy Feast pate). Sorry, I doubt my answer helped much!! Actually, now I'm reading E Garratt's answer...if I had a cat/kitten that could tolerate nothing else, you bet I'd be trying raw!! Just be VERY careful if you mix it with water not to be a dummy like me and leave it out for very long. I think I would ask a vet about this.

I find it's palatable on it's own, I believe it's due to the animal digest in the product which is what is in dry food and makes cats love it. At first, I just sprinkled it into a bowl and added some water and he licked it up but then I started using it after reading suggestions for it to help get picky cats to eat wet food. It worked great! And if I buy a can that they don't love, sometimes FortiFlora convinces them to eat it.

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer this, as I'm only a cat owner. I would think the internet would have an answer, as well as a vet. I just give my cat about 2 tablespoons of canned cat food that I've mixed the medication into. He has dry food the rest of the time.

Unfortunately it is just mush and watery. If your cat cant eat chunks, this may be perfect.

Their COSEQUIN product says moisten the dry food (water) and sprinkle the capsule over it. On wet food, it already sticks / mixes easily. On dry food, your cat may not consume all of it unless it licks it up!

Nope! Just as a warning though, my cat was only willing to eat one can of this before turning her nose up. Best of luck!

My cat did and she was totally spoiled on faucet water only. as soon as I set up the drinking fountain she was curious about it and within the hour she was drinking from it. I placed it on the floor far away from the faucet hoping she would forget the faucet. She has not gone back to the faucet since. My vet said it's because cats like running water.

I do know about using it in water. I am not sure how you could really measure the amount that your cat would actually get. I put the drops in my cat's wet food. You can put it on dry food, just put a small amount of food, so he will eat all of it. They even say you can sprinkle this around their bedding, I have not done this either.

I gave it to our cat, sprinkled on canned cat food. It worked well. She had gas and diarrhea that cleared up after a couple of weeks of dosing with Mercola..

Yes, and my cat backed away from it. Ordered a whole case of it since I couldn't find it locally in single cans so she could try. It's supposed to be really good and tasty. She's in renal failure, and needs this type food. But she wouldn't even taste it. I've had better luck just buying some other low phosphorus canned foods, adding a phosphorus binder, making sure she drinks lots of water, etc. Three months after crisis she's doing great. Took her to the beach with us! More than you asked for, sorry. But it is a pate.
