Upper respiratory infections in cats are often caused or worsened by FHV-1 — a virus most cats are exposed to at some point in their lives (especially rescue cats and shelter cats). Once a cat has FHV-1, it stays in the body for life.
L-Lysine is an amino acid that competes with arginine — the building block the virus needs to
replicate. When L-Lysine is consistently present in your cat's system,
it makes it harder for thevirus to trigger a flare-up. Less flare-up activity means less sneezing, less congestion, less eye discharge.
That's why vets have recommended L-Lysine for cats with URI and respiratory symptoms for decades. Daybreak delivers 900mg per serving — one of the highest doses available in a
powder your cat will actually eat.
