PetAg UT Solution Gel Supplement for Cats 6 Months & Older, 3.5-oz tube

My indoor, neutered male cat has a history of urinary issues. He once had a blockage, and I think the debris and procedure made his bladder sensitive. The first urination of the day, in the litter box, produced certain mannerisms (a post-urination snort and meow and running from the room of the box) so I started using this product. It totally stopped all the behavior mannerisms. He won’t take it on his own, so, I hold him in my lap and put it in his mouth with my finger. Background: He eats over the counter urinary food and wet food (various brands) AND he has annual evaluations and vaccinations and other visits, as needed, with a veterinarian.

The biggest complaint for any of the UT supplements is that they generally aren’t palatable as they claim. This one was no different. Mixing it in food meant she just ate around the parts that smelled like the supplement. Putting it on her nose just meant she avoided everything instead of eating. The only thing that worked for me was putting an amount on my finger and then smearing it along the back of her paws and up her arm. Placing a glob just meant she would shake it off and any approach with the tube directly sent her running. However, once we figured out the finger smear worked to get her to groom it off and eat it, it did work to clear up her UT irritation within a few days.

I ordered three different gel-supplements for UTI's in an effort to find one palatable for a male cat with bladder issues. This gel won. Not only my male, but 4 out of my five cats willing lapped this up. Now this would be a good thing except only one cat actually requires this product. Ultimately this is a lesser problem than it being unpalatable. I am happy with the product.

I have 5 cats, but only one with the issue. I first tried putting the gel into his wet food, mixing it in well. He took one sniff and simply refused to eat. Then I put it on his foreleg, thinking he'd groom it off. No, he simply flipped it off, getting most of it on the rug and a chair. It was comical to watch, yes... but this isn't the product for him. Based on this experience, no, I can't recommend the product, sorry.
