Highlighted Reviews

— Susan

"These Vetriscience UT Health Supplement nuggets that Chewy's Vet recommended on the chat option are so hard my cat cannot eat them. They are also stuck together in hard balls that I had to pry apart with a knife tip to even get one for her to try. I ended up soaking one in hot water to soften and it..."

Bottom Line

While some cats may still eat the treats, the issues with dry hard clumps and overall bad reporing of the product make it not a classic good solution on the market.
