Good sized "treat," has a soft cake-like consistency, easily broken into smaller pieces if necessary, and is highly concentrated (250 mg lysine per chew). Pet Naturals is a sister company of Vetri-Science whose products are mainly sold thru veterinaries. Pet Naturals is available thru retail stores, and is usually less expensive. Each company's cat chews are usually the same size and shape, and often the same ingredients (compare their websites), although Pet Naturals is much cheaper. In this case, the Pet Naturals version is slightly larger because it has twice the concentration: 250 mg per chew(60 chew package) vs. 125 mg per chew (120 chew package Vetri-science). My cat seems to prefer the Pet Naturals, and it requires less eating to medicate her. In contrast, another company's lysine product, Enisyl-F, is 125 mg per 6 crunchy treats.
If your cat has eye and/or respiratory problems caused by herpes, lysine is worth trying but isnt a guaranteed fix. The Pet Naturals product is one of the easier ways to administer it, unless your cat can tolerate the taste of lysine powder mixed into their wet food. 500 mg is considered a max daily dose. Herpes seems to feed on amino acid Arginine. Amino acid Lysine can mitigate the effects by competing with Arginine so it less available in the blood stream (or so the theory goes). Works in the test tube, but not always in the body.
