VetriScience Verti DMG

We have a pretty anxious kitty with feline herpes (viral rhinitis or the "kitty flu" if you will), and have had a hard time getting his sneezing under control. With a full dose of lysine he was still sneezing (though not nearly as bad).I'd had about enough of it and his vet had not worried adding anything to his medication. I figured being really safe and just another amino acid, DMG was worth a try.Well, he's been on it for about a week or two (only 0.25mgs as we wanted to start slow since the vet wasn't consulted) and the sneezing has finally subsided!We're only using it while the illness is showing symptoms till we can discuss its use with his vet so I can't speak to its ability to keep the virus from remitting, just that it helped get rid of his symptoms (finally!!!).I am overjoyed that this worked as I was cautious to try other remedies on the market (like Echinacea) since they can have serious side effects (and being an amino acid (building blocks of protein), this medicine is very safe).Edit: We have been using this product for several years now. It is a mainstay in his treatment for FHV/FVR.I would like to stress that this is NOT a cure, but it makes a big difference (certainly more than lysine).When we first started using this product we were already using lysine with very little improvement. DMG was a game changer! We went from regular sneezing, runny nose, poor appetite, and recurrent bacterial infections that had to be treated with antibiotics to stop unending sneezing fits... to needing antibiotics once a year when something happens to stress my kitty out enough that it compounds the chronic viral infection and he gets a secondary infection. He has made it some years totally free of sneezing and we can get him to accept a larger variety of foods (though the downside is he's interested in human food now, lol! gotta remember to not put garlic on my chicken).His vet is even impressed with the improvement that this product has made in keeping the sneeze attacks away. It ABSOLUTELY reduces relapses and could potentially lead to medication-induced remission (my kitty's longest run thus far is two years, through two moves!)!I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who has a cat with FHV/FVR!And for those who don't: My cat has always been indoor only, but I tend to pet any cat I see... and I carried this virus into my house on my clothes. This is entirely preventable. Get your cats vaccinated! Even your indoor-only cats!

An essential!

This is a top rated companies for animal health products. Our veterinarian is one of the top 10 small animal specialist in the USA. She recommended this product for our house rabbits and guinea pigs over 15 years ago. We've been using it ever since. It has improved the quality of their health & lengthened their lifespans. When using this for any animal, ALWAYS consult veterinarian first. The dosages are different for small animals. It may conflict with other meds or supplements your fur babies are and may be contraindicated based on other meds, age &health issues. Always check with the vet first with any supplement. If your vet recommends DMG, this is the company you want to get it from. Don't use knockoff companies or or supplements from outside the USA. Ask your vet for the proper dose and for syringes to measures a dose & administer. The vet usually gives the syringes for meds and feeding free, just rinse them out with warm water afterwards. No soap. Ask your vet for syringes without the rubber stoppers. They will last longer. Keep the doors & frequency consistent. This bigger bottle is a better value. If your fur baby doesn't want to take by syringe, do the black male method: Squirt the DMG on top of their food. My bunnies & guinea pigs get it squirted on top of their salads! This company has very high quality control standards. Better safe than sorry!

I'm not sure how much empirical evidence is behind the efficacy of this product, but from my own personal experience giving this and other supplements to my cat, this one in particular does appear to have a positive effect on his weepy eyes. My cat has been worked up by the vet, and does not appear to suffering from an active infection, however he still gets weepy eyes and tear stains. The vet told me to use air purifiers, which we have, and are getting more of. I mix this supplement into his wet food (or into water with kibble floating on top) and he has always eaten it. That said, this is also a cat who will eat nasty-tasting antibiotics and dewormer mixed into his food, so I'm not sure that's saying much. I will keep using this supplement for now since his eyes seem to be better with it, than without.

This has helped my GSD tremendously! It took a few weeks for me to notice the results, but she has completely stopped her reverse sneezing and she is no longer scratching and chewing. Have tried lots of other avenues (Omegas, Quercetin, CBD, MSM, Cytopoint injections) and nothing worked. Then I tried this on a whim and I haven't changed anything else so it seems to be what's doing the trick!
