Lysine Immunity Health Chews, 250 mg Lysine Plus Immune Supplement for Cats and Kittens with Allergies, Sneezing, Runny Nose and Watery Eyes, Chicken, 90 Count

These chews have become a staple in my cat’s daily routine. Packed with lysine and DMG, they help support immune health, especially for cats prone to sneezing or watery eyes. I’ve seen noticeable improvements in less than a week — more energy, fewer symptoms, and an overall healthier vibe. The best part? My cat actually eats them like treats. No hiding pills, no mess. They’re soft, easy to chew, and small enough for even picky eaters. I’ve used them during seasonal changes, stressful events, and even just as daily maintenance. Pros: Supports immune system and respiratory health Cats love the taste — easy to give Soft texture, no crumbling or powder mess Effective for both kittens and adult cats No artificial colors or preservatives Cons: Needs consistent use for best results Some cats may be suspicious at first (but most warm up quickly) Bottom Line: This is one of the few supplements that actually works and doesn’t feel like a battle to give. If your cat deals with eye discharge, sneezing, or just needs an immune boost, this is a game changer.

Executive summary: This product is twice as expensive as the 6.35 oz Enisyl-F Lysine product for equal doses. I compared the 6.35 oz Enisyl-F Lysine with this product, Vetri-Lysine Plus, 120 chews, 5.29 oz. At the time I bought both, the Enisyl-F Lysine product cost $12.00 and the 120 chews cost $16.81 (free shipping on both). The only way to effectively compare prices is cost per dose. This required counting the number of chews in the Enisyl-F Lysine product: there were ~430 chews in the 6.35 oz package. Since the dosage is 5 chews for 250mg of Lysine, it works out to 86 doses, or 14 cents per dose. With this product containing 120 chews, the dosage is 2 chews for 250mg of Lysine, so 60 doses. That works out to 28 cents per dose - twice as expensive! Having said that, I still like having both products around, but I mainly use the Enisyl-F Lysine since it is half the price. If my cat is having a bad day with his eye weeping, it's easy to also give him a couple of the "120 chews" to boost his dosage. My vet said that 250mg is actually too low for weepy eye problems related to herpes, and recommended at least 500mg per day. He said there was a study that 1000mg per day works even better for eye problems related to herpes, but I feel like that's a bit excessive. So I put a handful of these chews - 5 to 10 - in Yuri's food and maybe boost it with a couple of the other chews as necessary. I only rated this product with 4 stars because I'm not sure how much Lysine is actually helping with weepy eye. It's one of those problems where there are good days and bad days, so it's hard to tell how much it helps. But it seems to be a little better with Lysine, so I keep my cat on it. Update 9/27/2013: My cat Yuri was never diagnosed with herpes via an eye swab test, because they have to put them under and stick a swab under their eye. Instead, the vet tried several different eye ointments with antibiotics and none really worked great, so the conclusion was that he had herpes. He did better on the ointments or gentomycin eyedrops than without them. When the last bottle of eyedrops ran out, my vet said I could also try human eye drops. Even without Lysine, Yuri does just as well or better on human Allergy Relief eye drops, one in the morning and one at night, as he did on antibiotics. A different vet did mention that it could be a blocked or deformed tear duct that made his eyes water, so who knows? But the human eye drops are working great to control his tearing. I also switched from Iams cat food to "Before Grain". I always had to coax Yuri to eat the Iams, but now that he is on BG, he eats great and is much healthier overall. The price for BG on Amazon is about the same as Iams in the grocery store: $2/lb or so. Highly recommended.

Yes! It will help! I have a Siamese, Maine Coon, Tabby, Mutt :) that has very bad nasal discharge and post nasal drip so bad that makes him throw it up with his food! Yuck! He was not getting any sleep over his continual coughing, sneezing, and throwing up. I gave up taking him the vet since they would just give him antibiotics that would slow it down for a bit and then it would come right back, so instead of allowing him to develop a resistance to the antibiotics I opted to wait until I could find a better answer. Within a few days of starting the Vetri-Lysine Plus his sneezing and stuffy nose subsided, and he stopped coughing almost entirely. I have to give it to him 2 times a day about 12 hours apart for best results. The added advantage is that the DMG worked to help reduce his sore kidney issue that I was dreading to take him to the vet for. Siamese are known to develop kidney issues, so I was pretty sure there wouldn't be much they could do for him since he is 14 years old. His kidneys don't bother him at all any more! I started giving all my cats DMG since they are all old. It is dosed out every other day with canned food from a bulk form of DMG I get from Amazon (he gets extra now) and I am amazed at all the problems it has cleared up. I haven't slept in almost two years, since I started taking the DMG daily I sleep really well, and I have been dreaming! After 20 years of no sleep to speak of, and trying everything there is to try--the DMG worked! The DMG is a really good reason to buy this version of L-lysine, other brands don't have it. My cat did not like it at first, but the other 4 did, so I had to force feed it to him. However, after he realized he could breathe better he no longer resists. He takes it twice a day without any argument now! The Rosemary is a product stabilizer used in place of BHA/BHT, which are 2 very bad chemicals. I'll take the Rosemary over the artificial stabilizers, so far have seen no ill effects in my cat from the Rosemary. I've been using the Vetri-Lysine Plus for almost 3 months now and my cat is doing very well!

I have five cats and at least three of them have eye herpes. One of them is a 10.5-month-old rescued kitten I got last month. I am fairly certain he had eye herpes before I brought him home, but at any rate, there is a bit of kitty stress in my household right now as he integrates himself, so one of my other eye herpes cats may have been shedding the virus and infected him. Thankfully, he does not have ulcers, but he has clear eye discharge and sometimes sneezes. So I asked my vet about lysine options. Please note: this has chicken-based flavoring in it so it will not work for cats with chicken allergies and/or inflammatory bowel disease. (If you have a cat like that, your best bet is buying lysine tablets for humans and crushing them, then suspending them in liquid, drawing up in a syringe, and administering that way. Human lysine tablets are a bit too big for a cat to swallow.) If your cat is able to have most treats and such, these chews are a far better (as in, more pleasant for the cat and easier to administer) option. Anyway, the herpes virus requires a lot of the amino acid arginine (which has a long carbon side chain and a positively-charged nitrogen-containing group on the end) for replication. Giving lysine (which also has a long carbon side chain and a different positively-charged nitrogen-containing group on the end) in large amounts means lysine is taken up more by the cell machinery producing viral proteins. Only, when lysine is incorporated into viral proteins in place of arginine, the proteins don't fold properly and don't function as well (or at all). (This is true for human herpesviruses as well, so if you tend to get cold sores, take lysine tablets. It is an amino acid that you would need anyway. Just follow dosing instructions on the bottle.) So, in order to get my kitten's eye herpes under control before he starts scratching at his eyes or something, I am giving him this. He's been on it for a few days and it seems to be helping. He has less eye discharge and I haven't heard the sneezing for awhile. He's also not scratching at his eyes. He's still skittish so I just throw a treat or two on the floor in the morning before feeding him. I do this when he's hungry so I know he will eat these. He likes them and doesn't have much trouble chewing/eating them. (They're what I would call "semi-moist." They don't have a strong smell.) These are not causing my kitten any digestive upsets, which of course I'm very happy about. The bag is resealable to preserve freshness. If your cat is walking around with one eye closed or you see the third eyelid covering a large portion of the eye, there is probably an ulcer. You will need to take your cat to the vet and get a fluorescein stain and some antibiotic drops or ointment. This product will not cure ulcers. (I've seen the extremes of cat eyes damaged by eye herpes and you do not want to go there. It is expensive and requires many trips to the veterinary ophthalmologist.) Ulcers must be treated quickly and appropriately. But if your cat just has some discharge and sneezing and you have reason to believe s/he has eye herpes, these treats can help. Anyway, I'm very happy that these are working. Nice to know I can get them from Amazon if my cats have issues in the future.

I purchased these in 2025 and all three packages were dated to expire 1 month from date of purchase. You could clearly tell they were old , dry and hard. I purchased from chewy and they are fresh and soft. Chewy has much higher quality. Be aware they are not RETURNABLE.

My baby has “kennel crud,” a form of herpes that affects cats. This can cause upper respiratory symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, etc. And its chronic. In my cat, it manifests as swollen, watery eyes. His inner lid becomes so sore and swollen that he just wants to lay around for a few days. I think he runs a fever during these days. Enter these lysine bites. They have stopped the most severe symptoms. The last time he had his eye issue was the first week after giving him 2 chews 2x a day, morning and night. This was over a month ago. Since then, he has been a perfectly normal, healthy and happy cat. My only complaint is that the treats are very hard; almost difficult for him to eat. They should be softer for kitty to be able to chew them. These are BARELY chews. Secondly, I have to smash some Orijen freeze dried cat treats around them (fortunately they stick) in order to get him interested enough to eat them. So, if you have a soft, chewy treat that kitty really likes and she won’t eat these, try smooshing that treat around this one. She should gobble them up!

I have had my cats on these for years now, I’ve lost count of the amount of packages that I’ve purchased. This is the only brand that I will buy because it’s the only brand that my cats will eat. I have to cut them in thirds for my cats or they are too tough to chew and they won’t touch them. I cut the tail off and then the main part in half, perfect size for them. Once I do that they get excited for their treats. I got one of my cats when she was 10 weeks old and noticed that she was sick right away. The vet explained that she had a cold caused by the feline herpes virus. She’s twelve now and if she doesn’t get the chews then she’ll have a cold within days. A couple of years later, I adopted a two and a half year old male cat that also has feline herpes. Without these chews his eyes get junky and he gets the cold symptoms just as quickly. They both know when it’s treat time and will sit in front of the counter and meow until I look at the clock. I recommend these to anyone that has a cat with feline herpes. If your cats won’t eat them, try cutting them in half, it might help; did with mine.
