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.

Great Product.
From undisclosedComments about DL-MethionineOh my goodness...what a difference. My shitzu hated the horse pills my vet gave me. She had to take them 4 times a day. There was no way I could give her 4. She wasn't eating with those pills the CD diet either. Now what a difference.. she sits down for the pills and eats up her dry and wet CD diet. Thank you. My vet approved as well. -
Excellent service from a reliable company.
From Swanton, VermontComments about DL-MethionineI grind up half a tablet and mix it with ground up crumblies and fold it into the wet food--twice a day. -
Very Happy Customer
From texasComments about DL-MethionineMy cat previously took Amodil. I regularly ordered it online because from my vet it was close to 50 cents per pill - but then you couldn't get it anymore. I started ordering this product (after verifying with my vet that it was the same) and I have been extremely happy. So economical - we have to administer it twice per day. The pills crush into a powder super easy and we just mix it in wet food. -

From HawaiiComments about DL-MethionineThe flavor isn't that bad for my dog so I can use it as a treat for her. She'll be on this for a long time so I'm glad I found a 1000 CT bottle and for a good price. Great investment! -

From Helotes TXComments about DL-MethionineThis product was prescribed by my veterinarian to prevent crystals in my male cat's bladder. He had a couple of emergency visits that were very costly. This has kept him from blocking up again. -

You state that dl-methionine doesn't require a script. On another pet med website, it says a script IS needed. Why the difference??
-
The brand of DL-methionine that we currently sell is VET Pharmaceuticals, which is specifically sold as a nutritional supplement in dogs and cats. Nutritional supplements do not require a prescription from a veterinarian. However, there are more concentrated forms of DL-methionine that require a prescription, such as Methio-Form, which we do not carry. The decision to require a prescription is dictated by each company that produces DL-methionine. This may be the reason why you see other pharmacies requiring a prescription from a veterinarian. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine if your pet requires prescription-only DL-methionine or DL-methionine supplement. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

You stated in an answer regarding dosing that the dose for dogs is 1/2 tab per 10# once to twice per day for both the 200 mg and the 500 mg tabs. That doesn't make sense. The 200mg tab would be a dose of 100-200 mg daily while the dose for 500mg tab world be 250-500 mg daily. That is a large difference. Please clarify?

DL-Methionine 500mg tablets: Adult cats: 1 tablet per 10 pounds 1 or 2 times daily. Dogs: 1/2 tablet per 10 pounds 1 or 2 times daily. DL-Methionine 200mg tablets: Adult cats: 1 tablet per 10 pounds 3 or 4 times daily. Dogs: 1 tablet per 10 pounds 1 or 2 times daily. DL-Methionine should be given with food, and dosage should be adjusted to maintain urinary pH consistently below 6.6. DL-Methionine is not intended for use in kittens. Thank you!

My dog is very finicky do they taste good.?

Customers review the product as having a “treat” like smell. It can also be crushed and added to your dog’s food if it is not palatable to your dog as a treat.
Verified Answer -
My dog won't go near this product and i tried everything. Soft food, Liver worst, cheese, Apple Sauce and other cold cuts that a dog is allowed and she doesn't go near it. She wouldn't go near her soft food for a few days in fear that it was in there.

Hi, could I ask a question about the dosage of 500mg. It states on the package insert that cats should have 1 tablet one or two times a day, but dogs get 1/2 a tablet one or two times a day. That seems odd to me as a cat is a lot smaller that some dogs. It this actually correct. Thank you?
-
According to the package label, cats should receive one tablet per 10 lb of weight once or twice daily with food, and dogs should receive one-half tablet per 10 lb of weight once or twice daily with food. Please contact your veterinarian to determine the best dose for your cat or dog.
