Pump-Dispensed L-Lysine Paste for Cats' Immune and Eye Health
Product Description
Getting an exact dose into a cat can be tricky with a spoon or scoop, which is why this tuna-flavored paste comes in a pump bottle that measures each dose automatically. Every pump delivers 250 mg of L-lysine to support immune function, along with eye and respiratory health in cats managing herpesvirus flare-ups. It can go into the mouth, on the nose, or into food.
Benefits
- Measured Pump Delivery: One pump provides 250 mg of L-lysine, so there is no need to measure the paste manually.
- Immune System Support: Daily use supplies regular L-lysine to help support a healthy immune response in cats.
- Eye and Respiratory Relief: Cats with herpesvirus-related squinting or nasal congestion may notice steady improvement over several weeks of use.
- Tuna Flavor Cats Enjoy: The tuna taste makes this paste one of the easier supplements to get cats to accept.
- Three Ways to Apply: Give it directly in the mouth, place it on the nose or paw, or mix it into food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the pump dosing system work on this paste?
Ans: The pump is designed to give a fixed 1 mL serving with every press, equal to 250 mg of L-lysine. For kittens under 6 months, the labeled amount is one pump two times a day. Cats aged 6 months and older receive two pumps twice daily. Since each pump delivers the same volume, there is no need to measure the paste separately.
Q2: Is this tuna paste okay to give to kittens?
Ans: Yes, the paste is labeled for use in both kittens and cats. Kittens younger than 6 months receive one pump twice each day, while adult cats receive two pumps on the same schedule. The tuna flavor is often accepted by young kittens, including those that are selective about food. Before giving this or any supplement to a kitten, speak with your veterinarian to confirm the proper dose.
Q3: Can this paste help manage my cat's feline herpesvirus?
Ans: A cat with feline herpesvirus may use L-lysine to support its immune system and potentially decrease viral shedding during periods of flare-up. The paste is dispensed through a pump, allowing the amount given to be measured with each use. Since its effects can vary between cats, discuss the product with your veterinarian as part of your cat's larger herpesvirus management plan.
Q4: What's in this tuna-flavored L-lysine paste?
Ans: The active ingredient is L-lysine hydrochloride at 250 mg per 1 mL pump. According to the official product label, the inactive ingredients are caramel color, citric acid, fish oil, lecithin, potassium sorbate, purified water, silica aerogel, sorbitol, soybean oil, tuna flavor, and xanthan gum. This full ingredient list comes directly from the DailyMed drug label for this product.
Q5: How long can I keep my cat on this lysine paste?
Ans: This paste can be given daily for as long as your cat needs ongoing support, since it's meant for continued use rather than a short course. If your cat's condition worsens or doesn't improve after starting it, stop the paste and speak with your veterinarian. Contact a vet right away as well if your cat ever gets more of the paste than intended.
Q6: Will this paste help with my cat's sneezing or watery eyes?
Ans: Yes, this paste is formulated to support respiratory health and normal eye function in cats, which may ease symptoms tied to herpesvirus flare-ups such as sneezing and eye irritation. Because the paste is applied directly and absorbed quickly, some owners find it more convenient than a gel or powder. For severe or ongoing symptoms, have your veterinarian examine your cat directly.
Q7: How does this paste compare to the lysine gel or powder?
Ans: This paste uses a lower per-dose amount, 250 mg per pump instead of 500 mg per half-teaspoon or scoop, so cats typically need two pumps to match a full dose. Where the gel is measured by teaspoon and the powder by scoop, this paste is dispensed by a pump for tuna-flavored, mess-free dosing. All three support your cat's immune system, with similar eye and respiratory benefits, just through different textures and flavors.
