My cat has chronic UTIs. Do urinary health supplements work?

Question

Port has some obvious internal damage of some sort going on that is causing chronic UTI/Cystitis. Do pet supplements geared toward urinary health etc help at all? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 18 lbs

These special treats can be beneficial. Howeever, specific cat food for urinary problems is far superior. You should be able to buy this prescription urinary food at your vet. Another problem that makes male cats prone to urinary troubles is being overweight. !8 lbs is quite heavy and, unless your cat is a very big breed, he may be obese and needs to lose weight. Chronic cystitis/UTI is also caused by stress. If your kitty is the sensitive kind and easily stressed, you need to find potential stress factors in your environment and remedy those. Try some Feliway diffusors or spray to make your kitty more relaxed.
