Hi-Vite Drops (1 oz.)

I have had a couple problems with this product. First of all, cannot give it to my dog because he cannot stand the strong taste. (the smell is so strong I assume it tastes that way also...)? I cannot sneak it into his food or get him to take it directly. (If i were an octopus i might be able to manage to get it in his mouth, but otherwise...!) However, the worst problem with this product is the bottle.? It is such a thick liquid that the outside of the dropper gets coated with the liquid, then when you go to put the dropper back in the bottle, the neck of the bottle is so narrow that it scrapes the liquid off and it goes over the edge and makes a mess on the outside, and fills the threads with the liquid- which then gets on the inside of the
dropper threads and makes more of a mess. Not to mention the amount of expensive product you end up wasting cleaning off all the drips. The neck of the bottle needs to be wider, or the dropper tube needs to be narrower.? When you have hands that are not as steady as they used to be, it is impossible to put the dropper back in the bottle without getting the liquid all over the edge. So even if I could get my dog to eat it, I still wouldn't use it because of the packaging. Hopefully the bottle can be made more user friendly some day.

This gives my pets a good source of iron and vitamins not found in a lot of their foods.

My old bichon poodle mix has been taking HiVite twice daily for over 15 years initially due to a votamin deficiency which caused her to eat dirt. Now I believe after so many years this is in part why at her age she is still healthy. I am now using HiVite on the 6 lb yorkie living with us. Hats off to HiVite.

I just had to take the time and write this review on this product.

I am the CEO of an animal rescue and we had an animal that was relinquished to us, a little 2.5 pound Maltese named Princess.

Well 2 days after she was given up she was rushed to the ER and was near death.

We did numerous tests and discovered what we thought was a liver disease so she was on special food, supplements, vitamins and food.

Well she was prescribed by our vet the Hi Vite drops which we gave every day, just a squirt and she loves them

Well, when we did her blood test as a follow up she seemed better so we cut out all the meds but kept her on the Hi Vite Drops as she loves them

Okay fast forward to last year and she got critically ill with severe seizures and lethargy, so rushed into the vet again more tests and we were not sure she would make it, but she did and again every night we have our drops

Well, she went w/o her drops for 2 days last week as we were waiting for our shipment to arrive and all the local stores were out of them so she started to look very week and lethargic and I thought she was going to start to have seizures again so watched her very close, tried the Nutrical wouldn\'t get near it, then gave her a dose as it arrived of the Hi Vite drops and seriously with in a few hours she was happy, the lethargy hd gone away, she was eating again and she was back to herself

So the moral of the story is I ordered a dozen bottles as we have other dogs on it a well in the rescue and when we get down to 6 its time to reorder for sure

GREAT PRODUCT, THEY ALL LOVE IT

My cat was dangerously low on hematocrit (basically low red blood cell count) after a diagnosis of lypmhoma of the intestine. This is holding his hematocrit where it is and it is not going lower after five months. His energy is great and shiny nice coat, helping his quality of life in this last months/year to be good. He\'s 14.

This was prescribed to my \'Anemic\' cat.
It is administered via dropper and if you have a typical pet more of this thick smelly repulsively pungent goop will end up on you and your carpet then in your animal.
Insist on pill form.
Also it is NOT medicine so if your pet has a normal diet every ingredient is already being digested by your pet. Obviously I am not biased as are the other reviewers on this site.

I have a Jack Russell terrier that had \"hot spots\" & constantly chewed on her feet and hind area, (I thought it was an allergy to cut grass). This product was recommended so I tried it and it works! I\'ve tried a lot of supplements, but NOTHING helped until this! My dog has a beautiful coat, no more hot spots and doesn\'t chew on her feet or hind area any more! Since using Hi-Vite drops, my dog is fully of energy and looks and acts great! Great product!

My vet prescribed this for my dog who was coughing alot and has a collapsed trachea. When I give him this product his coughing stops for hours. It seems to me that this product is good for your pets overall health. Definately would recommend.

I have a 14 year old Maltese, vet said he was very low on iron causing him to not have much energy and sleep pretty much all day long. Started using this product and within 2 weeks, his energy is amazing....We walk on the beach 3 times per week for an hour and he never needs to be carried. AMAZING little guy.

Prescribed by my vet after our dog had bladder stones twice in one year. Now, no more stones and a great vitamin regimen. Our dog is 9 years old but behaves like a 2 year old. The vitamins have kept him healthy and strong.
