Urinary Tract Cat Food, Chicken and Rice Formula - 7 lb. Bag

This cat food has literally saved my cat's life. He is prone to getting crystals and they block his urinary tract. He was on a prescription only diet food prior to switching to this more affordable option. This food not only saved my cat's life, but saves me money too! It is quality food that has low odor and his breath doesn't smell as bad as compared to other "cheap" cat foods out there. This is a crunchy kibbel that runs about the size of your pinky nail. My cat has so much energy after fueling up on this quality urinary tract food.

Our cats are on a urinary tract friendly diet and this food is great! Cats love it and it’s working to keep them without urinary tract infections.

at 6 months old, my boy bengal started peeing blood out of nowhere so we brought him to the vet and they chalked it up to him being stressed (which wasn’t unrealistic because his sister -same age- had went into heat for the first time around a week earlier). so they gave us some medication and said he’d need to be on a urinary cary diet for the rest of his life considering he was so young and peeing blood. they prescribed us “Hill’s urinary care kibble” but something was off with the food. both my cats would throw up in the morning more often and my boy would have diarrhea a lot. so we did our research and found purina had a version of urinary diet kibble as well which was great because before this, we’d always give them purina kibble and wet food which they liked so we tried this one and they both LOVE IT. especially my girl cat (yes it’s fine for her to still eat this) she’s even gained a tiny bit of weight when we changed to this kibble because of how much she ate it ! safe to say, it’s bengal approved !

Due to our cat having had 2 urinary tract infections within 6 months, and inability to obtain a urine sample at the follow up appt. to the second infection, it was recommended that our cat switch from the senior, indoor, turkey and rice formula to an adult urinary tract formula. We told the vet that we’d been using Pro Plan and she confirmed that this is a good cat food. We added this new formula to her prior Pro Plan food in increasing amounts for about two weeks. Our 19 lb. cat (not fat, just a big girl) had no problem switching Pro Plan formulas, so we are pleased. For the second vet's appt. we had brought our cat in because of lack of bowel movement for 2 days. The vet (who could feel multiple little round feces) said that a cat with a urinary tract infection will often be uncomfortable or in pain when trying to pass feces and thus will not have the bowel movement. She recommended using a urinary tract food. As without the urine sample, it couldn't be determined whether or not her infection had been cured, the vet gave her a 2nd long lasting antibiotic injection, in addition to stool softener medication. Our only concern is that the Pro Plan urinary tract formula doesn’t address hair balls. Since the repeat of the urinary tract infection is the greater concern, we decided to put her on and keep her on the Urinary Tract formula. Later my husband read on line that some vets recommend adding soft food/food with liquid to the diet to help reduce constipation, so we decided to try this also. We supplemented her dry food with a soft dinner with gravy, but giving the "meal" to her in 1/4 portions for 4 days of treats. As she'll lick the gravy but refuse to eat the soft chunks, we puree one meal and gravy, give her 1/4 of it, and refrigerate the rest. We microwave the other portions before serving them, as the warmth is more appetizing and should help to relax muscles for easier passing of feces. She gobbles her “treat” up, even sitting by her dry cat food during the day, hoping to get more of the pureed stuff (which has duck in it), although she also likes the Pro Plan. Since the medicine, and diet change, our cat has been fine. We’ve been very satisfied with the Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract formula cat food and previously had been quite pleased with the Pro Plan turkey and rice indoor formula for adult cats. Prior to using the Pro Plan we had used another brand that vets recommend and sell. I must say that our cat did (and does) much better on the Pro Plan than she did on that other name brand cat food. My only regret is not having switched to Pro Plan sooner.

Cats are notorious for urinary tract issues. One of my cats was experiencing discolored urine. I started feeding her this and her urine is clear again. She is a picky eater and was very happy with the change in food. I changed my other three cats to this same formula and they all love it.
