"My kitten was on antibiotics for a couple months, prescribed by a vet, but as soon as she got off them, her sneeze came back. I could not get the cat to eat immunity rock-hard β€œchewy” treats the vet gave me, so I tried this. I mix it in her wet food, and her sneeze disappeared in a week."

β€” Brian

"This product is not pure lysine. It's diluted with other ingredients, including maltodextrin, a carbohydrate. In order to get the proper dose I have to add 6 grams of powder to my cat's food, which is an enormous amount."

Bottom Line

If your cat needs lysine support and you're willing to experiment with mixing, this product can be effective. Just be aware of the dilution issue and the need for careful mixing. It's a good value for the price, but consider your cat's preferences and any potential pickiness.
