Anyone know where I can obtain it in Canada? I'd like to try it on my two male kitties....Beard especially.
No mostly cause my vet hasnt heard of it and I wanted to show it too her ... oh and the first UTI didnt occur for 17 plus yrsOriginally Posted by furry4fury
Doesn't look like I will be able to try it....or even see the ingredients...they seem to only offer to the US.
Sharky - I'm sure someone has a bottle at home they could type the ingredients out for you. I take it you've never used it for one of your kitties.

I give this to my guy Joey everyday and he's doing great and he's a great pill taker, he doesn't mind at all!
That's a good one too. I tried that one before but Zoey didnt like it.Originally Posted by tru
I've been giving this to Nugie and he's gotten pretty good about taking the pill. After reading this thread though I started researching and I think this paste, Mark & Chappell UTI Paste for Cats, would be a lot more affordable and would serve the same purpose.
It seems that Vaccinium Macrocarpon Extract is simply the botanical name for Cranberry Extract. So..... if one can sprinkle cranberry flakes on their cats food and the cat will eat it then that would be even more affordable.
I'll be getting some of the UTI Paste the next time around.

Well that doesn't sound too bad. Is Eric on prescription food in addition to the Carpon?Originally Posted by Jean44
I have a Carpon pill in front of me. It's round, sort of cranberry color (appropriately) and about 1/4 inch in diameter. Eric has no problem swallowing them- but he's been taking prednisolone daily since 2001 so he's a veteran pill taker.
Well it looks like I won't be able to obtain Carpon as I'm in Canada....I'll check with a pet store in the city after my spa visitOriginally Posted by Jean44

The pastes and gels look interesting but most of my crew are reluctant to take anything off a spoon and are suspicious of anything strange added to their food.
On Dr. Bellfield's site Carpon is $19.95 per 100 tablets plus s/h. The pills on Doctors Foster and Smith are only $10.99 per 100 tablets. That's significantly less if it works as well as Carpon. I might have to think about that.
Eric was on c/d for six years. Now, due to possible diabetes he is off the c/d. I'm using the Carpon in hopes of keeping his pH at an appropriate level. He's due for blood work in two weeks to check his glucose. I'm hoping to get a urine sample from him at the same time. Wish me luck.Originally Posted by beandip

That will be interesting to see if it did the trick, especially with 6 years of history to compare to. Good urine sample vibes to you and Eric.Originally Posted by Jean44

It didn't work out the way I had hoped...I go into the city so rarely that all the running around I hope to accomplish never happens. I will check around with the Canadian On-line stores and see what they say.Originally Posted by furry4fury
