The best urinary health cat foods help reduce the risk of urinary crystals and stones. Brands like Royal Canin, Hill’s Prescription Diet and Purina Pro Plan are excellent choices.

These diets work by reducing mineral buildup, maintaining an optimal pH balance, and increasing water intake to dilute urine, preventing the formation of stones and crystals.

While urinary health foods are safe, they are formulated for cats with urinary issues. Feeding them to a healthy cat may not be necessary, so check with your vet before switching.

Look for foods with highly digestible ingredients and fibres and prebiotics to support the microbial balance in the gut.

Not always. Some cats do well on grain-free diets, but others benefit more from easily digestible grains like rice or oatmeal. The key is findingdiets that suit your cat’s specific needs.

Choose a low-calorie, high-protein, high-fiber diet to help your cat feel full while consuming fewer calories. Gradually reduce portions and encourage exercise with interactive toys.

Look for lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish), fiber (psyllium), and L-carnitine, which helps with fat metabolism.
