Make sure Pepper drinks plenty of water, adding water to his dry food or mixing his dry food with canned food to get more moisture into his Keep his genital area clean and well groomed. Take him out for frequent potty breaks. The longer that urine sits in the bladder, the more opportunity there is for bacteria to multiple. I hope this helps.
