Does anyone use this product with their kitty food? I saw it in a health food store, kinda pricey, didn't buy it. Just curious...

The only real ingrediant in there is the beef liver IMO.
I'd have to say its a waste of money.

Question for Sharky: Now that I think about it... maybe this would be a good alternative Fiber source for Bugsy? What do you think? He DOES need + fiber per his vet to feel full, and I am changing his diet... Thoughts? Are there reports of diarrhea on this?
One of my mom's 20-year-old cats was on that for a few years, when she was 8-10 or so. She had some kind of digestive issue, IBD or something (the vet had no idea). It did straighten her out pretty well, and she's actually fine now. For healthy cats, I wouldn't bother, but if a cat has digestive issues, I'd say it's worth a try.

I used to sprinkle this on my mischief's foods, but, due to all the extra stuff in it that cats don't need and can't properly digest, I wouldn't feed it to my cats.
In fact, in retrospect and knowing what I do now that I didn't back then, I probably wouldn't feed it to my rats today, either. It's a lot of money for little to no nutritional value.
