Supposed to Help with UTI
Well they asked for a review, which is hard to do. But 2-year-old Border Collie has had regular UTIs and this is supposed help move the PH to a less hospitable environment. Seeing as our water is Basic I'm hoping this help. Will update in 3 months, only 1 month in to treatment.

This medication is perfect
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg, 150 TabletsBrie our 3 year old cocker spaniel has been suffering with UTIS and crystals for way too long. Our vet wanted us to put her on the prescription diet but I did not want to do that. So we are feeding her cooked diet with the Dl Methonine also along with other supplements from our holistic vet. Cranberry Extrac with D Mannose Apple cider vinegar. and she is doing great so far. -

From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg, 150 TabletsMy Talula has had bladder stones for years and multiple surgeries. My vet recommended these meds about a year ago. She was tested again few weeks ago and Talula's urine and bladder have never been better. I would recommend this to anyone who may be having these issues with their fur babies.-

Great results with DL-Methionine
From St Pete, FLComments about DL-MethionineWhy change dog food to prescription when all you need to do is add DL-Methionine, 1 pill a day. Lucy had two kinds of crystals in her urine, after one bottle of 500 pills there are no crystals and her pH is normal. So happy. -

Q & A

What is the size of this pill??
-
What shape and size are these pills ? I have had small round white ones and now I have large pills that I have to crumble in food from the Vet . A picture would be great :)?
-
DL-Methionine is available through VetRxDirect in 500 mg and 200 mg strengths. Both of the strengths are supplied as white, round tablets that are scored once for easy splitting. In addition, the 200 mg tablet is slightly smaller than the 500 mg tablet due to containing a lower strength of methionine. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Could you tell me how large the 500mg tablets are???
-
These tablets are thick and may be difficult for smaller animals to swallow. They are scored down the middle and can either be cut or crushed and added to food for convenience. Thank you, VetRxDirect

The 200mg tablets are round and pretty small and the 500mg tablets are round but thicker. They are both scored so are easy to split. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Hello, my cat has PKD. His creatinine level hovers around 3.2, and when I was living overseas, my vet put him on ketosteril. He had no problems on it. I returned to the US and found that methionine is the generic name for ketosteril and I have seen mixed recommendations on whether it is specifically for patients (human and feline) with kidney disease, or is not recommended for them. I'm confused. Also, is there a difference between methionine and "DL"-methionine? Thanks.?
-
Ketosteril is not available in the US. There is not a definitive answer on what ingredients it contains. Some formulations may contain methionine in addition to other amino acids, but methionine is not the generic for ketosteril. In the US, methionine is used to acidify urine for the prevention and treatment of stones and to decrease ammoniacal odor. Methionine should not be used (contraindicated) in patients with renal failure. There is D-Methionine and L-methionine, and the DL- is a mix of both chemical structures. The term methionine usually implies the DL-methionine mix. Talk with a veterinarian about the best treatment option for you cat's PKD. Thank you, VetRxDirect

I have no credit card can I send you a cashiers check and you can send the product when you receive the check??
-
I would buy a gift card with cash, which could then be used to purchase this product. A Visa gift card or similar, should work. I see them at stores everywhere now, pharmacies, grocery stores, and more, so that would be a possibility.

No, we are strictly an online company so we can only accept credit cards through the website. Thank you, VetRxDirect
