My cat needs wet food for urinary health. What brands & serving size?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

My male cat has to get off of orijen and should only eat a wet food to prevent urinary blockage and promote urinary health. The vet recommended s/d feline but are there other canned wet food brands that are good for preventing urinary issues and crystal that do not have wheat, corn, soy or by products? And what is the daily serving of wet food for a 12 lb cat?

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Besides Prescription Diet s/d, there are urinary diets manufactured by Royal Canin & Purina. Do not purchase an over the counter urinary diet, as they rarely work well. Unless your Lio has a specific allergy or sensitivity to wheat, corn, soy, or by-products, do not worry about their presence in the food. You should only be concerned about preventing urinary blockages. The normal daily amount to be fed to a 12 pound cat is 6.6 - 9.9 ounces daily. Take care.
