Why are my multiple cats getting UTIs? How can I prevent them?

Question

I have 5 cats. 3 of them have urinary infections. They are being treated by my vet, but he doesn't know why 3 have this. Do you know why this could be, and how I can prevent this going forward? Thank you

Hi there. It depends on many factors, and without knowing what the urine tests showed it's difficult to tell. I would wonder about their urine being too alkaline and allowing bacteria to form, or that they need to be on a different diet to help them drink more water and flush their diets. I would ask your vet about what you can do at home based on the results of the urine test on your kitties. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
