Highlighted Reviews
"My cats like this product and I use regular hot tap water to dissolve powder and use it in all their bowls. Works great, recommend it."
"This additive gives the water a strong flavor - yes, I tasted it to find out why they hated it. My cats refused to drink any of it and instead preferred the toilet bowl. Maybe a dog wouldn't mind the flavor, but I think any cat will refuse to drink it."
