Medication is Amazing
From UndisclosedComments about DL-Methionine 500mg, 150 TabletsMy Talula has had bladder stones for years and multiple surgeries. My vet recommended these meds about a year ago. She was tested again few weeks ago and Talula's urine and bladder have never been better. I would recommend this to anyone who may be having these issues with their fur babies. -

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! -

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!
