I just bought these chews and today was the first day giving her them. She loves it! She even pulled the bag out wanting more and I can't say when the last time she did this. Like previous reviewer, too bad they are one twice a day.
Our fussy cats just love these Soft Vita Chews, as does my mother's very elderly cat whose appetite is declining. Their primary vet is pleased with the ingredients, and very pleased that our cats love these. They have been taking them daily for over a year, and have not tired of them. My only caution is that I have to keep the foil pouch tightly sealed, and keep it inside a zippy plastic bag, also tightly sealed, because our cats love them so much they will try to eat them like treats.
Cabby loves these. He knows when its time a.m and p.m. He will come and bug me until I get his "treat". Everyone says how soft his furr is. I'm sure its due to the soft chews.
Hi. My mom buys these for me, and they are just soooo yum, Yum, YUM!! I've been sooo happy since I started taking them. She seems happy, but she doles them out like they are on ration or somethin! Doesn't she understand you can't eat just one??? Sure wish she'd find these in kitty treat form so I could have a little more each day. How about it PetMed? Give us kitties a break, will ya??
I 've just run out of my pack so I can't see if it has Taurine or not but any fish product with have Taurine in it. I feed my cat fresh and canned Salmon which has Taurine and she loves it. If you buy canned Salmon make sure it's packed either in just plain water.
The best source of taurine should be the food the cat eats. Soft Vita Chews for Cats is a supplement to the cats regular diet and each 2 chew dose will give the cat an additional 200 mg of taurine.
