Best food for cats to prevent urinary blockages after surgery?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 4 months old

So I took my cat to an ER, apparently he has a blockage which is why he couldn’t pee. He’s in surgery right now but I want to know what kind of food do I feed my cat after surgery so that the blockage won’t happen again.

Moving forward, you will need to feed Frodo a prescription diet for cats who have urinary problems. I recommend Royal Canin S/O. These diets are formulated to promote increased drinking and urination. They also affect the urine pH to prevent the formation of crystals and one type of bladder stone. You will want to have his urine checked at least twice a year for infections and crystals until you know things are stable. I've got my fingers crossed for you and Frodo!
