Cat UTI prevention is simple once you understand the root cause.

Your veterinarian can help you uncover the root cause of your cat’s persistent infections.

Once you figure out why your cat keeps getting UTIs, take one of the following precautionary measures.

At Home Cat UTI Prevention

Your vet will let you know the best course of action.

Sometimes at home remedies such as supplements can help improve your cat’s bladder health.

Older female cats, cats with bladder stones or those with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of developing UTIs.

Take your cat for regular check ups if they are prone to increased risk of infection.

Diagnostic Cat Litter

Diagnostic cat litter changes color if it detects changes in your cat’s urine.

To use, simply replace it with your existing litter of your choosing.

Use the color guide on the side of the box to determine if your cat’s urine has a high pH level, which is indicative of possible urinary health issues.

More Litter Boxes

Increasing the number of litter boxes encourages your cat to empty their bladder more frequently.

This prevents a buildup of bacteria in their urinary tract.

However, avoid scented litter, which can stress out your cat.

If you have multiple cats, add one more litter box to your home than the number of cats.

More Toys

Additional exercise may prevent idiopathic cystitis.

Feline idiopathic cystitis can often present the same symptoms as bladder infections, stones, or UTIs.

Pheromone Therapy

Adding pheromones to your cat’s environment may relieve stress.

Pheromones are available in the form of sprays, wipes and plug-in diffusers.

Dietary Changes

Switching to wet or home-cooked food may help.

Consult your vet before making a change to your cat’s diet.

Also, add more fresh water bowls throughout your home.

Supplements
