🟢 Dechra Redonyl Ultra Feline
The acronym “PEA” used here refers to palmitoylethanolamide, and should not be confused with phenylethylamine.

Dad thinks this helps me with arthritis and other pain. He was unable to find another source which is “ultra-micronized,” which allegedly helps with something called “bioavailability.” Silly humans and their fancy words! Just mix this in my food already.

The low sides make getting in and out easy on my arthritic joints. Having pain-free access nearby helps with my cystitis. The large area means less difficulty and anxiety finding the perfect spot for a deposit. And Dad says it works great with the Petivity litter box monitor.

According to Dad, this smells potent, but I like it mixed in food.
