Not necessarily. If Stewart has had a lot of UTIs in the past, I would consider putting him on cosequin for cats. This is a joint supplement but it also increases the mucous in the lining of the bladder acting as a natural anti-inflammatory. I would also consider talking to your vet about a prescription diet that is geared toward decreasing the frequency of UTIs. I really like science diet C/D Stress. I hope this helps!
