Question 1

Why did you change the wafers?  They are now thicker but smaller in diameter and no longer work.  Have the ingredients changed?

Accepted Answer

I don't like it, either, but the latest pills are a bit softer and I can break them in half with my hand.  Also, if you crush them in water they love it!  I add water and the powder to their food dish as a way to increase their water intake.  Great for UT problems and older kitties with renal issues.*** UPDATE!!  ***  The latest change is horrible!!  They no longer dissolve in water and leave a gritty film on the bowl (and, no doubt, the cat).  They also did this with the urinary tract formula.  I bought out all the old formula I could find for urinary tract.  I guess I have to do it for this one, too.  But I have no idea what I'll do after it's gone.

Question 2

Will your cats eat these as a treat from your hand? Or do you have to trick or force them to eat it?

Accepted Answer

I grind it up with two spoons and mix it with their moist food.  Its too big and hard for a cat to eat it as treat.  I only feed her once a day the moist cat food so I only mix one pill. I also use hairball dry cat food, and use the hairball remedy in a tube, the brown stuff.  The issues of puking of food and hairballs and constipation are far and few now that I use the combo of all three.

Question 3

is it US made and also all the ingredients from US?

Accepted Answer

2016 label states, "Made in USA with Quality US and Foreign Ingredients".  It also now contains a wood product and sand.

Question 4

Why do they have to put magnesium stearate in this product? all the other ingredients are great and they ruined it with this.

Accepted Answer

My wife, a physician who specialized in preventive medicine, nutrition and alternative medicine said magnesium stearate is a flow agent. Vets Best is well tolerated by our four cats. They all love it and their hairball woes are a thing of the past. However, Joseph Mercola, DO, has worries about the source of magnesium stearate. Go to his website at mecola.com for particulars. You might want to ask Vet's Best what their source of magnesium stearate is. Mercola says stearic acid supresses T cells and he'd rather see stearate removed from all products. If this bothers you, stick with the sticky, gooey stuff.
