This medication helps my cats
From UndisclosedComments about Methigel Methionine Supplement 4.25ozI picked this product because I had a Cat die from a UTI And I didn't know he had a UTI so when the vet recommended this product I've decided to buy it for the rest of my other cats and it's been great for them to prevent them from getting a UTI -
Good product

these 2 products are a mainstay in our home
From undisclosedComments about Methigel Methionine SupplementPala-ZYMES is great it really helps my TJ with his IBS--he gets a rounded tsp every morning on his food. Methigel is for Polly who is prone to bladder stones. She had 2 surgeries for stones, this past April she had 1 stone but last month the stone was gone----------so hopefully it left her system. She has no problems eating the Methigel every morning. Great Products -
Almost perfect
From WIComments about Methigel Methionine SupplementI have been using Methigel for a few years now to help prevent struvite crystals. It used to be available locally but seems to not be anymore so I ordered online this time. Shipping was quick so no issues with that. I am not sure this product is the answer for all cats but for us it has meant that so far we do not have to feed the Rx foods which are ex[pensive, with little actual nourishment. With this product cat can eat whatever wet food he likes. Keep in mind that a wet diet (NO dry food) is best for any cat's health but for cats with struvite crystals it is a must. Adding Methigel helps acidify the urine, which is essentially what the high-cost Rx foods do.

Methigel is a dietary supplement that contains DL-Methionine. Methionine is used primarily to acidify urine or lower the pH, which may, over time, reduce certain types of urinary stones. According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, Methionine should start having effects within 1 to 2 hours; however, you will not see the effects of this medication outwardly. Your veterinarian will need to run further tests to determine if the medication is working appropriately. The effects of this medication are short-lived, meaning they will stop working within 24 hours, although the benefits may be prolonged if your animal has decreased kidney and/or liver function.
