"Had used before when I owned a cat and when became a Senior got picky with eating. Tried this on her and enjoyed so well ate it right out of the tube. Tried this on my dog now, with medical issues and eating, and now takes it right out of the tube too."

"My 19 year old cat was very ill and wasn't eating anything. I got this gel because a friend recommended it. However, my cat wouldn't touch it. When I offered a taste to my other three cats, they sniffed it and walked away. Now I have a full tube of gel that nobody will touch. Maybe dogs would lick i..."

Bottom Line

If you have a pet that is picky or has medical issues, Nutri-Cal Gel may be worth a try. However, due to the high variance in pet acceptance, it may not work for all pets. It's recommended to test a small amount to see if your pet likes it before purchasing in bulk.
