Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Urine can sometime be discolored by something in Luna's diet. A treat, or even a supplement. But the green color could also indicate the breakdown of red blood cells, possibly due to a urinary tract infection. If you think Luna may have eaten something odd, this will pass, but if the green persists, please have Luna examined by your vet at your earliest convenience.
