Why do pet parents give their cats and kittens an L-Lysine supplement?
Viralys helps strengthen a cat’s immune system, helping to manage respiratory health and ocular (eye) health. Lysine for cats has also been shown to help manage issues sensitive to L-Lysine that commonly arise in cats, such as regular sneezing, a runny nose, watery eyes, conjunctivitis and squinting.
What if my cat doesn't like taking a gel supplement?
Because we understand that all cats are different, we’ve developed five different Lysine food supplement products. Each one has been designed with different feline preferences in mind, to make administering Lysine supplements as easy as possible. They all allow you to give the correct Lysine dosage to your furry friend in seconds and can all be safely used for as long as your cat needs them, with no known side effects. They’re also all suitable for cats and kittens of all ages. So whatever the preferences of your cat, there’s a Vetoquinol Lysine supplement that will suit her tastes perfectly!
What is the recommended dose?
The recommended L-Lysine dosage is 500mg twice a day for cats six months and older and 250mg twice a day for kittens under six months. Each 1.25 mL (1/4 teaspoon) contains approximately 250 mg of L-Lysine in a palatable base. The suggested dose for cats over 6 months of age is 1.25 mL given orally twice daily. The suggested dose for kittens under 6 months of age is 0.65 mL (1/8 teaspoon) given orally twice daily. Adjust dosage as recommended by your veterinarian. Following package instructions, place a small amount on cat's nose to stimulate taste interest. Once initial interest has been established, a syringe or teaspoon may be used. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidelines.
