Hello fellow Ressies, so I've noticed some of you have been feeding Resveratrol to your dogs, etc. for medical problems. This forum is now STRICTLY dedicated to people who are dosing their pets, be it , dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, lizards, whatever, and the results seen. Now since we won't have good results for humans for years, we might be able to get some expedited results from our pets, especially the latter mentioned ones. So please let us know the dose/brand and method used as well as type of pet and age, and any other pertinent info. A bit of a disclaimer, please do not START to dose your pets because of this post, this is for people who have decided for themselves for one reason or another to treat their pets. I have no opinion as to wether or not it is a good thing to do, but for those who are doing it, curious to find out the results. Would really be interested to start hearing about the hamsters as they usually live 2-4 years or so. Alright everybody, start posting those results!

I have been giving my 11.5 yr old mixed breed a mixture of t-res (300mg 98%), alpha lipoic acid (300mg) and acetyl l-carnitine, (500mg,) for the last five months. I simply place two capsules on a small piece of bread, then put a sliver of butter over top. He chomps it right down. My dog weighs about 65lbs, maybe 5 pounds overweight. Manny would consider his weight optimal now, but I think he's be a bit better off losing a couple of punds.

Prior to the supplementation, he seemed a bit slower, seemingly stiff from some arthritis. He no longer seems to be stiff. I als take him on a daily 30 minute walk. Before supplementation, he seemed to have a tired look to his face, an old look. Hard to describe, mostly around the eyes. Now his eyes seem bright and sparkly, perhaps greater attention. No side effects, except for the occasional loose stool.

I'm so glad to see this thread because I've been searching for days on any information about giving resveratrol to pets. My 16-year old cat Bootsie has been diagnosed with malignant salivary gland cancer and the vet did not recommend surgery and chemotherapy. She did, however, prescribe prednisone to reduce the tumor's inflammation.

The vet offers little hope for sweet Bootsie, who also has hyperthyroidism, which has been treated for years with methimasol.

I decided to start giving Bootsie resveratrol after the vet said she didn't think it would do any harm. The problem is how to administer it. She won't take a capsule and it's too big anyway so at first I mixed some Country Life Resveratrol that I purchased at Whole Foods into her methimasol.

The problem with this method is there are still small particles of knotweed in the mixture and they clog the catridge that I use to give her medicine orally. Also, she fights this medicine with tooth and claw, literally.

Right after I started giving Boots resveratrol (and I have no idea just how much she's actually absorbing -- she tends to keep a lot in her mouth which comes out as really messy saliva strings after I dose her), she perked up, started eating a lot and was jumping around like a kitten. I'm not sure the resveratrol is responsible for Boots' temporary revival because I also started her on the prednisone at the same time.

Now, however, about ten days on the resveratrol/prednisone, she sleeps all day long and tends to hide herself under furniture. She looks good, has gained a lot of weight (she needed to gain weight), eats a lot and gets a spurt of energy if she smells a turkey sandwich. Her coat is glossy.

I think the tumor, which is very palpable, has shrunk a little bit, although it's hard to tell and again the prednisone is probably responsible for that.

I started to step up her dosage yesterday by giving her 300 mg of a mixture of water and Country Life reservatrol once per day, and I also have it mixed in with her methimasol. Again, I don't know how much she's actually getting.

I ordered Lonquercetex and it arrived in the mail today. It may be a superior alternative to the Country Life supplement so I'm going to mix two caplets in water and give her this mixture tonight.

She has shown no ill side effects from the Resveratrol -- her digestion and urination seem to be normal.

If anyone has any advice at all on how I can give Bootsie her dose (forget mixing it in with her food -- her salivary gland tumor makes eating anything aside from Gerber's baby food difficult and she's a picky cat anyway when it comes to food) or just how much I should give her, please let me know.

I cured my dog of cancer with it. I gave her the equiv. of 1 gram for every 14 lbs of body weight. She's 94 lbs and when I started I gave her
7 gms once a day. If she's ten to 14 lbs, give her a gram a day. mix it with mashed sardines or mashed tuna. something she likes thats mushy
and oily. If she will drink milk or cream, mix it with that. Res has no taste.

Thanks! She's a little cat, around six pounds -- she's little even when not sick. So, if I give her 500 milligrams, or half a gram (right?), that should be the right dosage. I think mixing it in milk is a great idea! Vets don't recommend milk for cats because it's hard for them to digest, but, hey, the only other alternative I have is a grim one.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep this board posted.

yes, 500mg sounds just right. if the milk upsets her tummy,
oily sardines is a good mix too....I never knew a cat that didn't like sardines.

Believe it or not none of my three cats ate the sardines I put out, Bootsie included. So, I'm back to giving her an oral solution -- I fear that my forcing the solution into her mouth causes her pain because she fights so hard. Plus, it dribbles out of her mouth in saliva strings so I know she's not getting all of it.

Two questions: how long does it take for the resveratrol to start showing positive changes, if any? Also, what's the best source for buying the 98% mixes or the ingredients for the 98% mixes?

Thanks for all your help.

did she reject it in milk too?
forcing it down her is so stressful for her and you. I did that in the beginning with Minni because she refused food with it too.
Sardine, salmon or tomatoe herring worked. Also mixed it with with chopped
meat and that worked too.
wow, cats that won't eat sardines. I'm shocked. what do they eat normally? Some people
have mentioned they roll it up in lunch meat and give it to their pets that way.
she should show positive changes right away...usually improved energy and softer coat are indications it is working.
You can order the powder from eitherMaxwatt orRevgenetics.
