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 price!
From UndisclosedComments about DL-MethionineThis product works great to avoid struvite crystals for my English bulldog. The price is also fantastic and significantly lower than my vet's office. The company is also cute. They sent a cookie for my dog which she could actually eat as she is allergic to everything. By the way she loved her cookie treat and wanted more! -
I always want to have these on hand.
From Bridgeport, ctComments about DL-Methioninecat is prone to urinary blockages (bladder and kidney stones) give this product on a daily basis crushed into wet food to maintain ph in urine. I check the urine several times a week with ph test strips, if normal, I give 1 pill daily to maintain reading, if it goes to a 7 I give 2 pills daily(as per veterinarian recommendation) so ph does not go higher. So far, this medication has been working well with no negative side effects. However, my cat is also on both prescription wet and dry food for life. -
I always want to have these on hand.
From UndisclosedComments about DL-MethionineI use this product to keep my male 3 1/2 year old cat's (Rocky) ph urine level within normal range (6.0-6.5). My cat has had 2 urinary blockages within the past year (bladder and kidney stones) a nightmare! After the last blockage emergency, he had a ph of 8. My veterinarian said he did not know how this cat would survive unless the ph was lowered. Told me to give a 200 mg. tablet morning and night every day. Since it crushes easily, I mix it into his (wet food) or into a cat appetizer pouch with some type of broth. It took a month or so of this regimen, but the ph went down. I check the urine every few days with ph test strips and on the vet's advice, if it goes to a reading of 7, I give 2 tablets daily, when it is 6-0 to 6.5 I only give one tablet daily to maintain ph. In addition to this medication, however, I still have rocky on a prescription diet, dry and wet food for life. Hope this review helps anyone who has a cat with this terrible problem, and if they start showing signs of a blockage and don't pee for long periods of time, please get them to a vet asap. They can die if they don't pee for 3 days! -
Great product at a great price!
From UndisclosedComments about DL-MethionineI've been using this product for years now to prevent cystitis in my adopted male cat. One 500mg tablet per day crushed up and mixed with his wet food, and he's had no problems with cystitis acting up since! Price is also much, much lower than buying from a vet's office!-

From undisclosedComments about DL-MethionineOur vet prescribed this for our basset hound. Vet rx has better pricing. Since this was a long term treatment we choose this option,1000 pills at vet rx cost the same as a one month supply from our vets office. -

Good experience
From undisclosedComments about DL-MethionineVery happy with my first order. Arrived in two days and I didn't even need the vet's prescription. Seems to be exactly what I've been using for years, but a different brand.

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!
