Under the Weather Pet | Ready Cal for Dogs 100cc | High Calorie Supplement | Weight Gainer and High Calorie Booster | 10 Vitamins, 7 Minerals & Omega Fatty Acids

Im baffled as to why this isn't rated higher. User error? Its great for weak dogs recovering from parasite infection or surgery/Injury. Underweight dogs etc. My Yorkie lost a ton of weight from oral surgery followed by a parasite infection. She lost interest in food from both also. This product gave her energy and nutrients she needed in order to start healing and regain her appetite. Just click out a tiny piece at a time on your finger and give it to them that way. Its thick dense syrup, so its too difficult to try and push into their mouth, the whole amount you need to give your particular dog based on their weight. You will end up with a mess. You can also refrigerate it to make it more dense and less glue like so you can dispense small sections on your finger equivalent to the size of a training treat. It won't hurt them if you give them a little more than necessary. Combine it with the under the weather pet pro and pre biotic paste. I've been using that one for years. It fixes my dogs fast when they get a bout of loose stools or they throw up. I got the idea to look for this product because I spent years rehabing abandoned newborn mamnals on the brink of death. We would give them caro syrup to keep them from dying until we could get their weight and nutrition back up with formula. This product has the added benefit of nutrients and healthy fats they would not get from just caro syrup. They should have given this dispenser a dose turn dial so you could more easily dispense the correct dose. However, it would probably cost $10 more if they did. You can easily track where you need to stop with the lines on the plunger, even just dispensing it one small piece at a time to decrease mess or waste risk.

My little Maltese can be finicky, and sometimes she stops eating for a day, even to the point where she throws up or has diarrhea. This can be a problem for small dogs, as they can go south quickly. After a big vet bill on one occasion, I learned that I need to be proactive when she is moving in that direction. This product works well to prevent problems. It provides needed calories, electrolytes, and a sweet taste that she tolerates when I squirt it in her mouth. (She won’t eat anything voluntarily in these times.) It’s messy, which is to be expected, but it prevents hypoglycemia and stabilizes her quickly. I like that the product has a long shelf life. I will keep it in stock for future needs. Great product!!!

This a good supplement for elderly or sick dogs who don't eat well. I gave it to my dog at her last stages of life and I think it supported her vitamins deficiency. It’s a heavy concentrated paste, easy to manage and you can crush any pills and mix with this paste to give the medications to dogs who reject to swallow pills. Is highly recommended it.

My 16 year old chihuahua ended up with doggy dementia. Towards the end he was having a hard time eating or drinking. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to it was more that he was too disoriented. I started giving him this and I think it helped. The only issue was he was not a fan of the taste. I ended up having to mix it in water and give it through a seperate syringe. It was just very thick and even if he wanted to take a lick it wouldn’t have been like a lick of peanut butter where he would get a little at a time more like toothpaste. Where you’re gonna get the whole thing or none of it. Overall, I think it’s a good product but I had to adapt it for my dog. It wasn’t very expensive but it gave the desired result. My dog has passed now, it was more a comfort thing to keep him less stressed out (by being full and hydrated) but I would definitely repurchase I just would expect to have to force it down vs it being tasty like a treat. There aren’t a lot of options out there but this brands quality is reliable.

Our 8-year-old Bichon got sick and became really thin. When you pet her, you could feel her spine and ribs sticking out. She got over the sickness, but couldn't seem to gain the weight back. We started giving her this product on a slice of cheese as a treat. She eats it quickly and doesn't seem to mind the taste. She may even like it, because she doesn't appear to complain that her treat has something extra on it. Within a week of taking this product, she had gained almost a pound. Since she only weighed 7 lbs to begin with, that was huge. Not only that, she is now playful and affectionate. She used to always act like an old dog. She'd sleep a lot, and while the other dogs played, she'd look at them with disdain. Now she goes for the bone or toy, too, occasionally. It is easy to dial the dosage amount, but be careful not to shake it around before giving it to your dog, or it will change doses. There's quite a bit of the product in the container, and I feel like it's a fair price for what you get. Now that our dog has gained some weight back, I probably won't buy another one when this one runs out. Although, i wish i could, because our dog is so much more playful and active. I feel like she must be missing something in her diet for her to have been so immobile during the day before taking this. But I'll definitely keep this in mind if this type of problem happens again. I highly recommend it.
