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.

Q & A

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!

My dog is very finicky do they taste good.?

Customers review the product as having a “treat” like smell. It can also be crushed and added to your dog’s food if it is not palatable to your dog as a treat.

My dog won't go near this product and i tried everything. Soft food, Liver worst, cheese, Apple Sauce and other cold cuts that a dog is allowed and she doesn't go near it. She wouldn't go near her soft food for a few days in fear that it was in there.

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.
