Higher-Strength Urinary Acidifier Tablets for Dogs and Cats
Product Description
DL Methionine 500mg Tablets are a higher-strength veterinary urinary acidifier supplement manufactured by Vet Brands International for dogs and cats. Each tablet delivers 500mg of DL-Methionine, an essential sulfur-containing amino acid that, when metabolized, releases sulfuric acid into the urine to lower urinary pH. This helps prevent and manage struvite bladder stones and crystals, supports normal urinary function, and reduces urine odor. The 1,000-tablet pack is suited for extended, vet-directed urinary health management programs.
Benefits
- Urine Acidification: Helps lower urinary pH and maintain it consistently below 6.6 under veterinary guidance.
- Struvite Stone Prevention: Aids in preventing and managing struvite bladder stones and crystals in dogs and cats.
- Normal Urinary Function: Supports overall normal urinary tract function as a veterinary-recommended supplement.
- Odor Reduction: Helps reduce urine odor as a secondary benefit of the urine acidification process.
- Higher-Strength Formula: Each 500mg tablet delivers a more concentrated dose, allowing for fewer tablets per administration for larger pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary use of DL-Methionine 500mg in pets?
Ans: It is a veterinary urinary acidifier supplement used in dogs and cats to help lower urine pH. It supports the prevention and management of struvite bladder stones and crystals that form when urine becomes too alkaline.
Q2: How does the 500mg strength differ from the 200mg version?
Ans: The 500mg tablet delivers a higher dose of DL-Methionine per tablet, which may be more convenient for larger dogs and cats as it requires fewer tablets per administration while achieving the same urinary acidification goal.
Q3: What is the recommended dosage for cats and dogs?
Ans: For adult cats, the suggested dose is 1 tablet per 10 lb (4.5 kg) body weight, once or twice daily with food. For dogs, the suggested dose is 1/2 tablet per 10 lb (4.5 kg) body weight, once or twice daily with food.
Q4: Can DL-Methionine 500mg be given to kittens?
Ans: No, it should not be administered to kittens. Research has confirmed that excess methionine in kittens can cause toxicity and stunted growth, making it unsafe for use in very young cats.
Q5: How long does it take to see results in dogs?
Ans: When used alongside a vet-prescribed therapeutic urinary diet and treatment for any underlying infection, it can take several weeks for struvite stones to dissolve. The timeline depends on stone size, number, and resolution of the underlying cause.
Q6: Should this supplement be given with food?
Ans: Yes, it should always be administered with food to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Giving it with food may also improve its overall efficacy, according to veterinary guidance.

Ans: It should not be used in animals with severe liver damage, kidney damage, pancreatic disease, or acidosis. Always discuss your pet's full health history and current medications with your veterinarian before starting this supplement.
Q8: What are the signs of an overdose?
Ans: Overdose symptoms may include anorexia, uncoordinated muscle movement, and cyanosis, which is a blue or purple discoloration of the skin caused by low oxygen levels. Contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control center immediately if an overdose is suspected.
Q9: How should this product be stored?
Ans: Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature of 15 to 30 degrees C (59 to 86 degrees F). Store away from moisture and light, and keep out of reach of children and other pets.
