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.-
My good boy.

This medication is an alternative to a chewable form.
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg, 150 TabletsMy dog, Tig, was recently diagnosed with food allergies. I had to stop using a chewable tablet to help his urine from burning our grass. We ordered the DL Methionine from Vetrxdirect as a replacement. We hide the pill in his food, and it is working well.-

Recommended by my vet.
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 200mg Tablet, 1000ctRecommended by vet to treat excess protein in urine. One of my full size Yorkies is especially difficult to give meds to. I split it in half and gave it to him with his treats. Scarffed it right down. He also tends to be more sensitive to drugs. No problems noted.-

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

Is there a way of testing my dogs urine to see what the pH is without going to my vet??
-
There are products available to test the pH but you will want to discuss with your veterinarian if testing your pet's urine pH at home is appropriate. pH paper strips are good for approximations of pH, while a pH meter is more accurate and can be calibrated.
