We bring you vet-recommended syrups, tonics, and a natural appetite enhancer for dogs and cats to help your pet rediscover their inner foodie.

What Is The Best Appetite Stimulant For Dogs and Cats?

There is no single "best" appetite stimulant for dogs; the right choice depends entirely on the cause of the appetite loss. But here’s the good news: your veterinarian has several excellent prescription options!

For Dogs: Vets often turn to Capromorelin (Entyce®), which works by mimicking the natural hormone that makes them feel hungry. Mirtazapine is another great choice, especially if nausea is the issue.

For Cats: Mirtazapine is a top choice, often given as an easy-to-apply ear gel (Mirataz®). Cats may also be prescribed Capromorelin (Elura®).

The most important first step is to call your vet. They need to figure out why your pet has lost their appetite to treat the problem correctly and choose the safest, most effective stimulant.

What Are The Types of Appetite Stimulants for Pets?

Choosing the right boost depends on your pet’s needs, which is why a vet consultation is essential. Our range includes options for various scenarios:

Appetite Stimulant Syrup for Dogs and Cats

These are typically easy to administer, especially for pets who resist pills. Often formulated with liver extracts, B-complex vitamins, and natural herbs, these syrups act as a gentle appetite enhancer for dogs and a supportive tonic for cats, improving liver function and overall metabolic health. They are excellent for managing mild appetite loss or as a post-recovery supplement.

Natural Appetizers & Food Toppers (Appetite Enhancer for Dogs)

For the dog who's just being a bit fussy, our range of natural toppers, bone broths, and high-palatability foods can serve as a simple appetite enhancer for dogs. These items increase the appeal of their regular food through aroma and taste, encouraging them to eat without the need for medication.

Senior Dog Appetite Stimulant & Kidney-Safe Options

Senior pets often have decreased appetite due to age, chronic conditions, or medication. We offer gentle formulas specifically designed to be safe for older pets and those with sensitive conditions like kidney or liver issues, ensuring they get the gentle support they need.

FAQs

What syrup increases appetite in dogs?

Many over-the-counter syrups in India, like Aptiquik or Petsapp, often contain Buclizine or liver-supporting ingredients and B-Vitamins which are known to increase appetite in dogs. These are generally palatable and easy to administer. However, remember these are supplements; chronic anorexia needs a vet's diagnosis.

How can I increase my cat's appetite?

To increase a stimulating cat appetite, try warming their wet food (to enhance the aroma), switching to a stronger-smelling food, or using a specialized cat appetite stimulant, often given as a transdermal gel or liquid. Never force-feed. If your cat hasn’t eaten in over 24 hours, consult your vet immediately.

Is it safe to give my senior dog an appetite stimulant?

Yes, but you must be careful. Senior dog appetite stimulant products are often formulated to be gentle on aging organs like the liver and kidneys. However, a senior dog’s lack of appetite is often a sign of underlying disease. Get a full health check before administering any stimulant to your older dog.

How to Increase a Dog's or Cat's Appetite Naturally?

If your pet is slightly picky, try these simple, natural steps at home! Warming their food enhances the aroma, making it much more appealing. You can also add a small amount of low-sodium bone broth, plain pumpkin puree, or a teaspoon of their favourite, pet-safe, plain cooked chicken to their meal. Ensure a calm, quiet feeding environment and try hand-feeding them a few kibbles to kickstart their hunger. Consistent, gentle encouragement is key!
