pet urine ph/bladder health
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg Tablet, 1000ctWe've been using this 3 times a day for a year now to keep the urine ph at 6-6.5 after Justice had struvite crystals and a bladder blockage which required him to have a costly surgery. Also helps prevent uti's by keeping the urine acidic. It's easy to give mixed into his food and it's a lot cheaper than the hundreds of dollars monthly for rx pet food for life especially if you have a picky eater like him!-

Price!!!
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg Tablet, 1000ctLess expensive. Our vet discovered that Tippy forms crystals in his urine, which could lead to infections, bladder stones, and kidney failure. I have been getting his name-brand DL-Methionine from her office. The price for two months was roughly equivalent to your bottle which lasts two years. His urine continues to not have any significant odor. Quite a relief for my bank account.-

Q & A

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.

The 200mg pills are 1 cm round, about half a cm wide. About the same size as the round motrin pills. I crush mine with a mortar and pestle and mix in wet food though
