Animal Essentials Tinkle Tonic Herbal Formula for Healthy Urinary Tract in Dogs & Cats, 1 fl oz - Made in the USA, Alcohol Free

This product helps my male kitty cat who gets jammed up when he is stressed. Any little thing like moving furniture around upsets him, so this takes the Edge off and keeps the pee flowing!

My 9 year old spayed bitch American bulldog started straining to wee and passing bloodclots. After numerous vet visits over 3 months I bought this while waiting for results and prescriptions and after one day of use she started to pee and not strain to wee. I was told she either had an inflammation of the bladder or neoplasia. It would cost me £3k to find out which (the procedures would have been detrimental to her health in any case at her age). She has 1ml tinkle tonic twice a day, together with a course of antibiotics and royal canin diet and she no longer strains to pee but goes everytime. I will continue to use tinkle tonic after her course of antibiotics as it may not be the only cure but it certainly aided her in those few days waiting for other medication. I will also purchase the tonic for joints as this one was so good!!

My cat kept peeing every where.. we had Medstead from the vets that made him then have diarrhoea as well although this product has not cured it has helped.

The reason I bought this is because I have a male cat who gets urinary blockage, and sees his vet almost monthly on an emergent basis, and has three other vet prescribed medications for the issue. I bought the tinkle tonic as a supplement to promote easier urination, but not as a replacement for any of his prescribed medication, and these decisions should always be discussed with your pet's veterinarian.Let's get the cons out of the way first. The taste is terrible apparently. My cat who loves treats, dry food, wet food, and tries to eat sticks, rubber bands, pennies, plastic and any other thing you try to hide from him, audibly GAGS when I give this to him. He's been on it about a week, 2x/day , and yesterday was the first day I noticed he didn't gag from it. The taste must be pretty bad. Since he gets it twice a day, I always hold it in front of him for a moment before I give it to him so he can smell it and kind of brace himself for the taste.On the flip side, using this twice a day for my cat, by day 4, I noticed the volume and frequency of his urination has easily doubled. He's also awake more often and playing a lot more, too. He also licks his nether region much less frequently. He hasn't been on it long enough to know if this truly reduces the number of emergency vet visits for him, but I'm hopeful.My cat is a large 15 pound male cat. I started him at the lowest stated dosage, which is .25ml. After a few days I was concerned that the smallest dose on the bottle was still a little too much since my cat's body already processes three other medications daily (even though my cat was in VERY good spirits and highly energetic, it's good to be cautious). So I stopped giving the tinkle tonic for 24 hours, and then giving it to him again I use .2ml instead, and he's still on track. From my experience, it's better to start with a lower dose and slowly increase to test tolerance but I forgot to do this at first. The bottle states dosage for cats and dogs, but no mention of weight so be aware of the dose and even talk to your vet if you have questions.All in all, I'm very glad I was able to find this tonic. It seems to make urination flow more smoothly for him. Very happy with the purchase and I'm already planning on ordering some more to stay stocked.

My cat was making a huge mess with litter outside his box and I had no idea why. I started paying more attention to his bathroom habits, and he was entering and leaving his catbox up to 10 times a day. Come to find out, he wasn't urinating a full bladder's worth of urine for a few days. So, I called the vet and they wanted to do a urinalysis on him. He's never had any issues before and he's less than 4 years old. I bought Animal Essentials Apawthecary "Tinkle Tonic" via rush shipping because I wanted to try it before I took him to the vet. I gave it to him twice by direct method (.25 mL each time, squirt in the mouth) and he was urinating at least half a bladder's worth the very next day. I took him to the vet this day, and they couldn't get him to urinate for a sample, or extract it by needle. They said his bladder wasn't full, yet when I picked him up, they had a tissue in his carrier and it was soaked in urine. They prescribed a Glucosamine / Chondroitin complex (Dasuquin feline), which the vet says helps with urinary function. They charged me $32 for a 84 capsule bottle. By the second day it was nearly 2/3 a bladder's worth that he was urinating, and by day 3 he was back to normal. I was checking his box at least 3 times a day, and when I scooped it the clumps were much larger and there were wet spots in the box (which meant fresh pee). I know this stuff works very well. I do suggest however, getting your cat/dog checked out just to be sure there is nothing seriously wrong with them, but still know that this stuff is available and works great! My vet made a suggestion that changing your cat from nothing but dry food to some wet mixed with dry, or mostly wet and some dry food will also make a huge difference because cats need a lot of water in their diets to help clear out the urinary tract. They don't always get that from a bowl of water, as they may not drink the required amount. Do a little Googling like I did, you will see, this product PLUS wet food is a BIG help. Also, the vet said if your animal has kidney issues or falure, DO NOT give this product to them. I have a dog as well and will keep this product around for emergency purposes.
