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 results!
From PA, USAComments about DL-MethionineMy cat has been on this medicine for a couple of months. Her thyroid numbers are back to normal and she has put on weight where she had lost it. -
Works well
From CT, USAComments about DL-MethionineMy senior dog was having recurrent UTIs, her pH was elevated and she had lots of struvite crystals. She was not interested in eating the prescription diet. Since she is 15 years old and I didn't want her losing any more weight I put her on the DL Methionine. It works very well, her pH is normal, no side effects. I will be keeping her on this medication. -
GREAT PRODUCT AND COMPANY!
From Pennsylvania, USAComments about DL-MethionineI BROUGHT THE DL-METHIONINE 500 MG TABLETS A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEY WERE SHIPPED OUT TO ME IN ONLY A FEW DAYS, WHICH WAS GREAT. THE PRODUCT ARRIVED WELL PACKAGED AND WITH A SPECIAL HOMEMADE TREAT FOR MY LITTLE PUP. I FOUND THIS COMPANY A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH, THEY ARE BOTH KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS AND VERY HELPFUL. I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! -

Not too hard to give cats
From Lafayette, INComments about DL-MethionineEasy to cut with a pill cutter and then smash with a spoon if you don't have a mortar and pestle. Goes right into their canned food. Stopped her infection and excess urination. Very easy to give dogs. -
DL-methionine 200mg
From Texas, USAComments about DL-MethionineGreat product! A must have! I bought these a month ago and since then my cat has completely changed! He looks at-ease when urinating instead of irritated or almost like if it stung to urinate. -
Great med for toy breeds
From Birmingham ALComments about DL-MethionineOur vet told us long ago toy breeds were susceptible to problems with their urine ph, often resulting in bad potty habits and infections. We put our 6-yr-old papillon on this med years ago, and it works WONDERS. This is much more affordable than getting it at the vet and easier for him to take.

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.

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.
