RESVANTAGE Feline - Resveratrol - The Longevity Supplement for Cats - 30 Capsules

If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed the transformation in this cat. Two weeks into supplements I went ahead and ordered another box so I’m sure not to run out. I really want Amazon to put this on Subscribe & Save! But, let me backtrack for some history. Last fall, this beat up, near toothless, intact, older Tomcat showed up in my driveway. His cheeks were huge, and it was pretty clear that he was not well, as he was thin as a rail and just did not look good. He didn’t appear to be feral, as he was friendly, so I figured at some time he was part of a family, who perhaps moved and left him, or passed away. I started putting food out and he kept coming back where I was able to befriend him, get him in a crate and to the vet. I got him fixed, shots, took care of an infected abscess (from a cat fight no doubt), and learned he was immune compromised. We have been back and forth to the vet’s office so much, for steroid and antibiotic shots and even had expensive dental surgery done to remove most of the remaining bad teeth he had, that I sought out a supplement specifically with Resveratrol, a supplement I myself take, in hopes of boosting his immune system. We haven't been back for shots yet and we're on the second month, though only time will tell whether we have to keep making those trips for shots, but I can say for sure that since starting the supplement, this cat has completely transformed. Is it coincidence? I can only say that having been a very lethargic cat before, since starting the supplement he looks so good, has put on a lot of weight, seems very healthy and has become very active and playful – I’d even go so far as to say sassy. His behavior in fact, is very kitten-like! It's not a cheap supplement, though it's certainly far cheaper than those bi-monthly vet trips for sure, so we'll keep it up and see how it goes. Please don't ever stop making this kitty supplement!

I 100% disagree that Resvantage feline should be taken off the market. Nonsense. I have been using it long term for 10 years [ give or take ] on 3 different cats who are currently aged 20, 15 and 15 years old. In fact, I have CONCLUSIVE evidence that Resvantage has indeed, improved the lives of my cats. 1 clinical and 2 observational. Clinical:When my 20 year old cat was 16 he needed aggressive dental work, a full blood panel was done [ I see ONLY the top vets in the CT, NYC and MA area as I go to the top specialists when my cats require help. I am used to state of the art treatment]. His results were all right below the midzone for danger on values for kidneys etc. Fast forward 2 years. My now 18 year old cat gets the full blood panel again prior to more dental surgery and the vet called my house. She wanted to run the tests again as his tests indicated by a LAB that he was smack in the middle of NORMAL. Here was was, 2 years older at age 18 and his bloodwork was that of a 10 year old, improving over his blood work at age 16. I only added Resvantage to his diet. Period. He is over 20 now and still climbs like a billy goat. My 2 15 year olds each have terrible conditions since age 5, [ cardio conditions, chronic upper resp infection, severe allergies, KIDNEY problems] yet the Resvantage has them happy as clams. As for those people who complain about giving a capsule to their cats, learn how to do it. Stop with the moaning, LEARN. I have taught more people than I can count. Seriously. Update. April 2016. The cat whom I focused this review on lived to be 23.1 years old. He was on the Resvantage Feline every day. I attribute his health to this TINY capsule. Since then, I have put other cats on it. I currently have a cat with nasal lymphoma on it. She has been in full remission for 2. 3 years. I gave the Resvantage to her 2x per day during chemo and radiation. I did that for a full year. I have since dropped her down to once a day. Zero signs of cancer, zero negative side effects from chemo targeting her heart and kidneys. I do believe by giving her a dose 2x per day her heart and kidneys were protected from the usual negative side effects of chemo. Now I have her on a maintenance program. I got my friend to use it when her dog was diagnosed with lymphoma and that dog is in full remission. It's over 1 year now.

I bought the feline dosage for my two small dogs, a mature terrier (puppy mill rescue) and a 15 year old Shi Tzu. The only difference between the canine and feline formulas--besides being a smaller dosage--is that the feline formula contains Taurine, which has no ill effects on dogs. I mainly bought it for the Shi Tzu due his stumbling and decreased mobility, and general aging issues (eye sight, hearing, etc). They've both been getting the feline dosage for about a month now and the Shi Tzu's mobility clearly is improving: going up and down stairs without stumbling, standing up on his home legs again, and just general increase in playfulness. I read other positive reviews and was hoping it would help our old buddy, and I am very pleased after the first month. We're going to continue with it. UPDATE: We've been using this for our two small dogs for going on 6 months now. It really does seem to give the old Shi Tzu some extra energy, particularly going up and down stairs. I am happy for that and will continue using it for the Shi Tzu and the Yorkie.

Very good recommend

I'm one of those "last to know" people when it comes to taking supplements. I have a horrible gag reflex and aversion to pills, so when one of my friends who has been looking exceptionally well lately told me about the supplements she was on, I had to investigate. In my investigations, I found that the resveratrol she was taking was available for cats. My oldest child, a cat named Cinders has been suffering from diabetes and overall declining health (he's 15). I've tried everything with him including following the vet's recommendations of insulin and a high protein diet, but have found his health wasn't really improving. He just looked poor. Rather than spend the money to buy myself the supplement (talk about a parent's love for their child!) I bought it for Cinders. Within just a few days the goobers in Cinders' eyes are gone, he's got more energy and he doesn't have that 'old cat smell' that I had come to accept as a part of him. Basically it's like HGH in that it has anti inflammatory and overall anti aging properties. There's been those studies of how a calorie restricted diet can cause a person to lead a longer, healthier life...but I don't think Cinders would be on board with that, and now he doesn't have to, as the resvantage has been shows to have the same effect. And I no longer smell him coming!

I called this company and talked with them about administering these pills to my cat. They were very nice, helpful, and educational. It sounds like an amazing supplement. It was fine administering it for a few days, but to do it regularly would be unrealistic for us (the cat got upset and started hiding from me, even though I got the pill down him quickly). If they ever come out with a good tasting treat with this supplement in it, I think it would be a real hit.

I have no idea how anyone can administer these capsules to a cat. The capsules are much larger than typical cat medicine. I doubt even a Maine Coon could down this capsule. It's way, way too big to put inside a Greenies pocket, which is the only way I know to convince a cat to swallow a pill. I thought I could cut the capsule open and pour the liquid on my cats food. The capsules are 99% air with a drop of goo on one end. All I could do is smear it on my finger and them smear it on the food. This was a complete waste of money.

One capsule came damaged but the rest were good
