It's always worth a try! I've also been looking into calming treats. I see they're suggested a few times on the site but I don't see anyone suggesting a specific brand. Ill have to do some more digging!
Thank you so much for all the help, I've purchased the marshmallow root and red raspberry leaf and they'll be here tomorrow. That is also when my vet will be in so I will check in with her as well. Do you believe the marshmallow root and red raspberry leaf will be gentler on his tummy than the D...
Does anyone give their cats anything for stress? The Hill's urinary stress didn't agree with his stomach and neither did the gabapentin when we tried it for a week, even at a quarter of a pill. It also kicked him out a little too well, he spent all of his time asleep and wasn't eating or drinking.
Thanks for the help! I've tried six different styles of water fountains to entice him to drink more but he's terrified of running water so it had the opposite effect. He also won't touch wet food. When I try to mix just a little bit in to his dry food to try and transition him it makes him stop...

Thank you so much for all of the information! His litter is fragrance free but I'll work to eliminate any other odors in the house. Maybe an air purifier would be beneficial? I'll definitely ask my vet about the herbs when she returns to the office but she's on vacation right now.

My boy has cystitis and I'm looking for something to help him. I first tried d-mannose and cornsilk, but they upset his stomach so much he didn't want to eat and drink while he was on it.
I've been reading through other posts about the benefits of slippery elm, marshmallow root, and red...
My boy loves these! I've tried to use it as a topper for wet food but no luck. I've been searching high and low for a wet food with similar ingredients but can't find anything like it. I like that these are a moist treat, but more than one a day upsets his stomach so it doesn't get him very far...
Thank you for the suggestion! This is one he actually hasn't tried and I was excited to try it out but just read that it has brewers dried yeast which seems to upset his stomach. He can't have too many temptations because of it, it's a difficult ingredient to avoid.
I've tried it, sadly he won't fall for it. I wish temptations would make wet food! I'm sure it wouldn't be the most healthy wet food but I'd be willing to take the trade off for the extra hydration.
My boy used to like fancy feast but he turns it down now. He's never shown an interest in fish flavored wet food, only actual tuna but even the lowest sodium tuna I can find packed in water makes him sick. Maybe I can try a dab of actual tuna water mixed in with some wet food though!
Thanks! I've tried crushing his food and treats and he won't fall for it. I really thought crushed up temptations or the temptations puree mixed into some wet would be a winner! My boy also used to eat fancy feast but for some reason he turns it down now.
My picky cat hates wet food. He doesn't drink much water so I'd love to switch him from dry to wet food, or at the very least half and half. I've spent hundreds of dollars now searching for a wet food he'd eat and so far I haven't had any luck.
The only thing he's ever really loved is...
