Vetoquinol Nutri-Cal 4.25 Oz – High Calorie Supplement for Cats and Dogs

It works
This is the very best high calorie supplement that i have found for my black lab. it works, she loves the taste, I put a big portion on a spoon and she will lick it away. Her coat looks shiny and wonderful as well. She has no diarrhea at all. It so easy to use and the cost isn’t bad at all. It a great way to supplement more vitamins and calories at the same time.

This works!
I really do not write reviews on products from Amazon but this gel works great! I have an older american bulldog/pit mix who stopped eating, became listless, and i was worried maybe I needed to put him down like maybe this was time. However I wanted to try something to seeif it helped before that route. At first i had to force feed this to him. I would put a blob on my finger, lift his lip, and wipe it on his gums and teeth. Within hours there was noticeable improvement. Appetite increased and gradually improved to back to normal! I stopped use and things were fine. This week, some same symptoms emerged. Used that gel and this time he ate off my finger no issues. Back to normal. Helps perk him up and back to eating his food. He is a picky eater and picky about supplements so this is a total win.

Saved my cat’s life!!
Does this product work? Yes, wonderfully! My cat is 14 years old and gave up eating (don’t know why, we have a vet appointment in a few days, but had to wait awhile to get it) and was losing weight by the handful every day. Started her on this for a few days and now she’s back to eating pretty well, almost to her regular amount.Is it easy to use?? Nope. Not for me anyway. I had to use a syringe to get it into her. Wrapped her in a towel so just her head was exposed and did it that way. She hated it, but it’s better than the other option (a dead cat from not eating).Is it messy?? Very. When she fought me forcing it in her, she’d turn her head quickly and the goop would go down her face, chin, neck, wherever, but luckily I had thought of this before hand and had a warm wet wash cloth on standby just for that. Though she still has places on her fur,where it didn’t come all the way out. (Again, having a messy cat is better).Does it taste good?? Noooo!! I’m not a cat, so I can’t speak for them, but,, yes, I tasted it. Just the tiniest of licks off my finger from the new tube. To me, it tasted like old dead fish, (it does contain fish oils so it stands to reason). Would not recommend trying it yourself though.Would I recommend it?? Yes, absolutely!! Be prepared for your pet not liking it though. Some love it, while others won’t touch it. If you *NEED* to force it into into your pet, make sure you absolutely need to and know what you’re doing and how to do it. This can be very dangerous if a pet gets it down the wrong way and it gets into their lungs. And do a little at a time.I swear this ,goopy stuff saved my cat. She’d been a little off her feed for a few months (after my younger cat suddenly died of cancer). I didn’t think too much of her gradual weight loss because she was pretty plump anyway. But when she started getting bony, I knew something had to be done. I thought it was just a matter of feeding her more, but when she refused, I thought of Nutra-Cal. So glad I did, and that I didn’t give up when things got messy.

Recommended to help increase apatite.
Excellent item to help encourage puppies, dogs, cats to eat plus they love the flavor. Highly recommend.

We adopted an 8 year old Sphynx in poor health. He was thin , a fussy eater and had vomiting issues on and off since he was a kitten with no issues found . My vet wanted to start from the beginning so started with a deworming , not a great start. The medication made him worse and he lost a pound in a week and was eating very little and that was with constant encouragement. He dropped to a little over 5 lbs and was just skin over the bones . He had done this a few years back according to his vet papers. Tried this product at night , the next morning he was ravenous. He now wants to eat everything in site, and several times a day. He will steal the dogs food tries to steal ours , we can’t keep him full. It won’t be long before our boy gets some meat back on these bones …. Results were immediate, I was doubtful but I strongly recommend this if you have a pet who has a poor appetite.

Okay, first off, my cat snowball LOVES this. She will literally lick it right out of the tube. She came in as a stray weighing only half a pound, so in desperation we bought this to help her. Well, in a month she has gained more than a pound and a half, and stopped shedding so much! Her fur is soft, and fluffy, and she has a nice healthy coat. Wonderful product and I definitely account it as part of the reason she survived.

We have a runt of the litter pup. He was struggling to gain weight despite significantly increasing his food intake. The vet recommended this product and we are super happy with it! We put a dab on top of his breakfast, he eats it no problem and is already putting on weight!
