Consultation Reviews
Just a note of thanks to Larry the Cat Manny for his help with my kitty Morris. He was referred to me by a friend of mine who has worked with him before. With Larry's advice, I literally pulled Morris from the depths of despair. I was not familiar with Azodyl and my current veterinarian could not advise me either way with its usage. I tried it anyway and was so pleased when Morris' health turned around for the better within about a month. His kidney disease lab results improved within that time as well. Morris now has a little more energy and his appetite is better too! I'm so impressed with Larry and his knowledge of dealing with chronic diseases in cats. - Linda S.
I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to The Cat Manny for guiding me through the process of giving IV fluids to my 16 yo cat Sydney, who has stage 4 kidney disease. Although I was trained by a senior tech at Sydney's vet clinic, I felt that I needed more info, so I went online and found the Cat Manny website. Thankfully, Larry had much more comprehensive information about what to do, and what not to do! He gave me some great tips and helped me immensely. I was so scared to begin giving the fluids at home, and Larry walked me through the process step by step and helped to ease my mind. He also suggested that I start giving her Azodyl twice a day to help lower her kidney values. Since then, Sydney's labs have showed great improvement within just a few months! I still can't believe that my own vet had never even heard of Azodyl. I also really appreciate the Bloodwork Summary Chart that I was able to download from Larry's website. It's helping me to keep track of Sydney's lab results between visits, and now it's so easy to see how she's improving at just a glance. I am so grateful to have found Larry's help online, and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him for all of your Cat Manny needs! - Megan Gillane
I was desperate to find anything that could help my Pumpkin who is 15 years old. She's in stage 4 of kidney failure and the vet I see doesn't think she'll be around much longer because her blood tests are so bad. The Cat Manny (Larry) gave me hope in the form of new things that I could try. Since consulting with him I've tried switching her diet and even took her off dry food. I added the Azodyl which no one seemed to know about. I also starting giving her fluids more often. Pumpkin has since perked up and even lost her constipation. Her latest round of labs were also much improved! - Ethan Richter
Larry, aka the Cat Manny should have been a vet! I can't believe how much he knows without having gone to med school. In a nutshell, my cat Patches is now acting 5 years younger with following Larry's advice. I utilized his 3 point approach to the letter and Patches has defied the odds. The proof is in the kidney numbers, as they've all gone down quite a bit in just a few months. It's simply amazing! I totally recommend him to anyone whose cat has CKD. - Pamela G.
The Cat Manny rocks!!! I found him on the internet when I was researching how to treat the kidney and thyroid problem with my cat. In addition, I learned a lot about how to address the muscle wasting issue in my cat through diet. He outlined the myth about the amount of protein you should give a cat with ckd, and it made sense. This info was pure gold to me. Now my precious Bonkers is starting to fill out again! He's also not wobbling as much in his rear legs. He's still a little thin, but he's put on about a half a pound in just a few weeks from Larry's suggestion to add more protein to his diet. I learned that the KD kidney food my vet suggested didn't provide enough protein! I agreed that quality of life was important to me too. Thank you Cat Manny

I just wish I would have known then what I do now from Larry B., as my other cat (Moonlight) might still be around. He worked with me through email for one of my current cats (Shira) and I am so thankful for his help. My goodness, he's like an encyclopedia when it comes to kidney disease! I used his FDA method and it gave me renewed hope for Shira. Even my vet can't explain how Shira's lab numbers have improved so much! She told me that she is starting to recommend the product Azodyl to her patients because of how well Shira is doing. Fluids played a huge role too. Thanks Larry. - Alex Russo
Larry has been very helpful to me with a lot of good advice and information about feline renal insufficiency. He's easy to get in touch with and very knowledgeable. I recommend! - Mimi B.
We really appreciate the time Larry spent to help us deal with Rascal's anemia. Our vet had us on a path that wasn't addressing the root of the problem sufficiently enough. Larry spelled out the issues and treatment in a way that were easy to understand. To our amazement, Rascal's hematocrit number is slowly starting to rise towards normal and we couldn't be happier! Simply put, we just needed to raise the level of protein in his food. Our vet wanted him to stay on his kidney diet, but again, Larry explained in detail how this was hurting Rascal's recovery. We are grateful for your help Larry! - Tom and Jennifer R.
Larry's cat manny website was a referral from a friend who was also helped by him. In fact, his help couldn't have come at a better time for us. Our cat Mango is suffering from kidney disease and eventually developed borderline anemia. Larry not only suggested methods which helped us deliver fluids to Mango in a way that made it much easier for us, but also suggested adding chicken hearts and B12 to his treatment to help with the anemia. It's been a few months, but his anemia numbers have all gone up! Blessings - Robin and Paul D.
