The product is very palatable to most pets and by adding it to the prescribed diet, your pet may eat it more readily.
Slightly moisten the food if your pet eats a dry food.
Ensure that your pet has ready access to plenty of fresh, clean drinking water.
This product can be given for the lifetime of your pet.
