Our story
How we got our start
Under the Weather was inspired by Ruffy, our founder's Wheaten Terrier, after going through a bout of digestive upset. The vet recommended a "bland diet" until healthy digestion was restored. After the inconvenience of cooking, our founder became determined to develop a more convenient solution.What makes our product unique
As pet parents, we want everything we provide to contribute to a long, healthy, and happy life for our pets. All of our products are vet formulated with the highest quality ingredients we can get our paws on. We make our products better for your pet, and easier for you.Why we love what we do
In addition to our commitment to pet health, we are dedicated to helping save the lives of shelter dogs. A portion of every sale supports rescuing, transporting and spay/neutering shelter dogs. It is our passion to help animals find loving homes and stay healthy in mind, body, and soul.Product Description

I got this to increase the calories my cat took in during a time she was too sick to eat well or enough. On that count, it’s fine and does offer calories and some nutrients. The issue is getting it into your cat.
This stuff is thick- you can’t syringe it in, and it doesn’t mix into food easily. What I ended up doing was putting a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon and a half of baby food in a tiny container and microwaving it 8 seconds. Then I could stir it all together, let it cool and syringe feed it.
All the high calorie gels have questionable ingredients that you probably wouldn’t want to give your cat long term but this stuff *did* help keep weight on my cat til she recovered sufficiently to eat more on her own. At the same time I used this, I also tried the Tomlyn brand. I prefer that one - it’s far easier to get out of the tube and (after heating with some baby food) it mixed better. It’s also less expensive and not in a big inconvenient container like Under the Weather.
I also tried Richard’s Organics which was thicker than the Tomlyn or Under the Weather. It was the hardest to squeeze out of the tube and more difficult to mix in.
I’m definitely not a veterinarian but as a consumer I’d suggest that any high calorie gel is probably not enough to keep your cat going, even if you follow the directions. It certainly won’t fill an empty belly (which must be uncomfortable) or keep them eliminating regularly. Not eating can become habitual so stop it fast.
What we did for our 8 pound cat: Got some of the Gerber (meat only) “2nd foods” for “sitters” (on the label).
They have:
Turkey
Chicken
Ham
Beef
Read labels. In most other brands, the calories are lower per jar.
You can also easily heat, mix and syringe with Hill’s A/D diet as it’s liquidy and nutritious. You need a prescription for this food from your vet.
Even mixing a teaspoon of the gel with 1 1/2 teaspoons of food, you end up with a bunch of syringes of food. You look at it all and wonder how you can possibly get it into your pet, so many little syringes.
Hey, it’s your pet’s life. Get someone to help if you can. Wrap that baby up in a towel or blanket like a burrito. Put the burrito on a towel or sheet you don’t care about to catch any droppings. Gently lift the side of the lip and get the food in there 1 ml at a time. Chase with some water syringes at the end.
It’s not fun but it may keep your pet alive. We’ve done this twice a day now for 10 weeks. Our girl is just now starting to get back to more regular eating and moving around again. Worth it? Definitely.
This is NOT intended as veterinary advice. If you have a vet who’ll give you feeding guidelines, follow that advice. Our cat had 2 different vets (regular vet and internal medicine specialist) and neither one had any ideas. I’m just saying what we came up with and apparently worked. Best wishes to you with your pet.
Sadly, my cat had an aggressive terminal cancer that the vets were not able to diagnose in time to save her life, but this gel is good to have around the house if you have pets. Now that I have found out this exists, I am going to keep a tube of it around the house at all times just in case. I have 5 other cats and a dog, all of whom could benefit from this if anything comes out that makes eating difficult. I have a cat with stomatitis whose gums get inflamed so she stops eating until the steroids and antibiotics help the inflammation. Lysine helps to prevent it so she gets that every day with her food, but having this in the cupboard is an insurance policy that I can help right away if it's off hours and the vet isn't open. I also have a 10 year old cat with a large sarcoma tumor that cannot be fully extracted on his jaw who is healthy as a horse at this point (and has outlived his 6 month prognosis by a year and half now), but that could change quickly. I ordered this in September of 2020 and the expiration date on the tube is June 2022 so it is well worth the money to stock it. Hopefully I don't have to use it and all my furry family members stay healthy for a long time to come.
