My cat has a UTI on urinary food. What OTC options can I add?

Question

ello, I recently started feeding my cats Purina Urinary tract health once I realized one of them has a UTI. Her urine smells very strong which isn’t normal for her plus her appetite has changed. The food has not seemed to relieve her UTI, so would I be able to buy something over the counter to help her urinary tract infection that she could take with her Urinary tract health food? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 4 years and 3 months old | 15 lbs

In cats with urinary irritation, wet food is preferable to help reduce urine concentration and flush out the bladder. I strongly recommend a urine exam in order to determine exactly what is going on and to guide the most appropriate treatment (infection/inflammation etc). A sample can be collected using special urine collection litter which does not absorb urine. Petco provide a home kit for detecting UTI which can help to monitor such conditions
