    Urinary and Kidney Health in Cats

    Urinary and kidney health is the most commercially significant cat health category worldwide and one of the most serious. Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) affects approximately 1 to 3 percent of cats annually and is among the most common reasons cats are brought to veterinarians. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 20 to 50 percent of cats over 10 years and up to 80 percent of cats over 15. For cat owners who want to act proactively, urinary supplementation is one of the highest-impact daily investments they can make.

    Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD)

    FLUTD covers several conditions affecting the bladder and urethra. In cats under 10 years, stress-triggered idiopathic cystitis accounts for approximately 60 to 70 percent of all FLUTD cases. Other causes include urinary crystals, bacterial infection (more common in cats over 10), and urethral obstruction (a life-threatening emergency in male cats requiring immediate veterinary attention). Signs include straining to urinate, frequent small urinations, blood in urine, vocalising when urinating, and using locations outside the litter tray.

    Feline chronic kidney disease

    CKD involves progressive loss of kidney function. Cats are particularly vulnerable because their evolutionary adaptation to concentrate urine places lifelong demand on the kidneys. Early CKD is silent: clinical signs do not typically appear until approximately 75 percent of kidney function has been lost. The IRIS staging system guides management. Annual blood and urine testing from age 7 is the most effective early detection approach. Signs of established disease include increased thirst, increased urination, reduced appetite, weight loss and vomiting.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    My male cat is straining to urinate. What should I do?
    Any male cat straining to urinate is a veterinary emergency. Urethral obstruction in male cats is life-threatening. Go to a vet immediately, do not wait.
    Can supplements treat an active urinary infection?
    No. Active bacterial infection requires veterinary diagnosis and antibiotic treatment. Supplements support preventive urinary tract health and may reduce recurrence frequency.
    My cat keeps getting UTIs. Will this supplement help?
    Cranberry and D-Mannose have evidence for reducing bacterial adhesion to bladder walls. Daily supplementation alongside veterinary investigation into underlying causes, including stress management, is appropriate for cats with recurrent UTIs.
    My cat is on medication. Can I still use this supplement?
    Yes, but Urinary and Kidney for Cats must be given at least 3 hours apart from any prescription medication. The activated charcoal content can partially absorb medications if given at the same time.
    My older cat is drinking more water. Should I be concerned?
    Yes. Increased water intake in cats over 7 is a significant clinical sign requiring a vet visit. It is one of the earliest indicators of CKD and also of hyperthyroidism and diabetes.
    What is the Stress Less Bundle?
    The Stress Less Bundle combines Urinary and Kidney for Cats with Stress and Anxiety for Cats. It is specifically designed for cats experiencing recurring stress-triggered UTIs, addressing both the urinary symptoms and the root cause together.
    How can I encourage my cat to drink more water?
    A cat water fountain significantly increases water intake in most cats. Wet food is also strongly associated with better urinary health. Both are important alongside daily supplementation.
    At what age should I start urinary supplements?
    For cats in multi-cat or indoor-only environments, from 2 to 3 years is reasonable given the elevated FLUTD risk. For general kidney support, from 7 years alongside annual blood screening.
