Pets of all breeds, ages, and genders can be affected by urinary tract diseases, with obese and inactive pets at higher risk🚨. Common triggers include: insufficient water intake leading to concentrated urine, imbalanced mineral ratios in diet, stress (e.g., moving, changing food), and urinary tract infections. In severe cases, these can lead to kidney failure or urinary obstruction, which are life-threatening—pet parents must stay alert!


Veterinary-recommended preventive measures include:

  • Ensure adequate daily water intake - use a pet water fountain to encourage drinkingšŸ’§

  • Provide a balanced diet, avoid long-term single feeding of high-salt, high-mineral food

  • Reduce environmental stress, keep litter boxes clean (multiple litter boxes for multi-cat households), and avoid frequent changes to the living environment

  • Regularly observe urination - seek immediate veterinary carešŸ„ if abnormalities occur (e.g., difficulty urinating, blood in urine, frequent small-volume urination)


āš ļøāš ļøāš ļøImportant note: Early symptoms of urinary tract diseases are easily overlooked. Once urinary obstruction occurs (especially in male cats) they may be unable to urinate. This is an emergency! Do not self-medicate — seek timely veterinary examination and targeted treatment
