Pros: I want to start off by saying that this product has reduced UTIs in my male cat. UTIs are extremely painful and can quickly rack up a vet bill. I was able to take him off of c/d food (bad for weight) and put him on a higher quality food + UT Support without him getting anymore infections. He finds the tablets delicious and can easily eat them when I cut them in half with a pill cutter. My cat was UTI free with only half a pill in the morning and the other half at night.
Cons: This product needs a warning label for animals with kidney disease or pets taking medications. You really need to be aware of the ingredients in these tablets. All of the 10 active ingredients have diuretic properties. This is harsh on the kidneys and you need to consult your vet before giving it to your cat. Cats that have kidney problems, (which many older felines do) more than likely should not be taking this tablet. The herb Slippery Elm has a lots of good qualities with the exception that it lines the digestive tract and can inhibit the absorption of medications (which is a problem because my cat takes meds). To avoid this, the tablet should be eaten 2 hours before or after other medications. Lastly, the herb Uva Ursi has great anti-UTI properties, however the chemical in it, hydroquinone, can cause liver damage and is not recommended for long term use.
I have contacted the maker of this product, Vet's Best, twice to inquire about the Uva Ursi and if it is safe in the dose they recommend for long term use. I have yet to receive a response.
This product has helped with my cat's UTIs but I don't feel comfortable using it until Vet's Best can confirm that this product does not have long term side effects. Please do some research and consult your veterinarian.
