Cat Food and Nutrition for a Healthy Bladder
Many cats struggle with the litter tray throughout their lifetime. To help with bladder concerns, veterinarians will often recommend lifestyle changes, not only to treat the current illness but also to proactively manage urinary health as your cat grows.
Let's learn a bit more about how diet can affect bladder and urinary health in your cat.

Changing Your Cat's Diet Safely
If your vet recommends a change in diet, knowing how to change your cat's food is just as important as understanding you need to do so.
Any sudden changes to what your cat eats can have an impact on their digestive and urinary health - if you don't take the time to do it correctly. Some cat foods, for example, may contain too much calcium, phosphorus or magnesium - all minerals that can contribute to the build-up of urinary stones.

Hydration for Your Cat's Healthy Bladder
Along with proper nutrition, hydration is a great way to help maintain your cat's health. Drinking more water promotes more urine production, which means your cat will pee more often. And, every time your cat empties its bladder, it is not just eliminating urine, but also any debris or bacteria that could cause an issue with their urinary health.
