Four PawsHealthy Promise Easy Feeder Pet Feeding Syringe

You can't see this in the picture but there are two feeders, one with a long conical point. This one can be cut shorter for desired opening. Kitchen scissors work fine. The second is a two-step graduation with a small opening. If you want a larger opening you can cut off the lowest portion or, if a larger opening than that is needed, you can cut into the upper section. This seems to be harder plastic than the other feeder and I needed tin snips (wire clippers) to cut it cleanly. The blue insert is all hard plastic, no rubber tip on it. I found that this was good because those with a rubber tip inside become sticky after a few uses. This is the best syringe I've found for feeding diluted food to my cat.Addition: I have used these for a 9 lb. cat with pancreatitis. They have lasted for about 18 months now and show no sign of deterioration. The plunger has never become sticky.

I was referred to these easy feeding syringes by a friend. My cat had to be assist fed for about 1 week and these were a life saver, literally! I did have to cut the tip off one of the feeders but after that everything went smoothly. When my cat is stressed out by being assist fed and I'm stressed out by feeling bad for her I'm thankful for how easy these are to use.Note- always put the tip of the syringe in the side of your cat's mouth so your cat doesn't aspirate the food into his/her lungs. Push small amounts at a time.I love that the 'food' syringe lists both ml (same as cc) and teaspoon amounts!***Update, August 2013-I have had to (unfortunately) use the food syringe of this set 3-4x/day every day for the last 8 days. I never throw it in the dishwasher or wash with regular soaps. The most I do is put it in nearly boiling water, sometimes with a drop of white vinegar (kills bacteria from cat's mouths) and let sit until the water cools. The numbers and markings are beginning to lightly rub off but so far, so good. I'm posting a picture of the comparison between the syringe I've been using and the brand new one I got today.Sometimes the blue plunger sticks slightly which I thought was the food in the syringe but after testing my brand new syringe I realize it's actually the wearing of the syringe/plunger. I've read that you can use a tiny bit of oil (olive, coconut, etc) to lubricate the plunger.Also, if feeding exact increments of food is important know that there will be some food (if feeding pureed/mixed cat food) left on the 'bottom' of the blue plunger; I'd say it's about 0.5ml- 1ml of food. Also, there will be about 1ml of food left in the syringe tip that you can't possibly feed. So, in total you MAY lose roughly 2ml of food/meds when using these syringes.For now I'm leaving my review with 5 stars but depending on how worn the syringe becomes in the next few weeks I may have to downgrade to 4 stars.

Although a little expensive, these feeding syringes are great. Plungers work smoothly, although take some effort (I lubricated plungers with a olive oil and makes them easier and more controllable.Really nice to have two different type nozzles in same pack. the cone shaped one is great for thicker or somewhat granular feeding preparations as with pair of good kitchen shears you can cut off bit of end to get larger bore for handling such mixtures. The "standard" syringe is good as it great for water or thin fluids and you can attach small hose to it if you need to.Vendor although not "Amazon" was prompt and has free shipping. If $1 cheaper OR plungers a bit smoother I would have given 5 Stars, still ...HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are feeding small or young animals, including birds, lizards, or mammals.

If I could give zero stars I would. Syringe plunger has no rubber on it so it’s impossible to plunge. It’s plastic on plastic friction and doesn’t slide well. The tips are so HARD. I can’t see putting that in my sick cats mouth. Overall thumbs down. Really awkward to use and not functional in my opinion.

These work amazing for bunnies! When my bunny was super sick these helped me so much in administering fluids for him. Sadly Axl has passed away and I still have these on hand for my other bunnies if they ever need use of them. They also clean very well to!

I suppose this product was fine once to use in a pinch, but I ended up throwing it away. The syringe does not hold liquid well. When you put the syringe into the liquid to fill the tube and suction upwards, it only gathers about 50% of the matter. I was trying to feed my dog with this and it "worked" but because it held such little volume, it took forever. The syringe often fell apart and was more messy than helpful. I gave it a solid three star because it did kind of work, but it mostly just fell apart and was unhelpful. Long-term, there is no way this tool would be helpful.
