Hairballs and urinary health: what your cat's food can do

Hairballs and urinary health: what your cat's food can do
The short answerFor hairballs, look for a balanced blend of fibres and prebiotics plus regular brushing. For urinary health, encourage water intake and choose a formula balanced for urinary pH. Any straining in the litter box is a same-day vet visit.

Cats groom constantly, and they don't drink much. Those two facts explain a lot of cat health questions.

Hairballs

All ProSeries cat formulas include a blend of prebiotics and fibres to promote high digestibility and hairball control, helping swallowed hair keep moving. Brushing your cat a few times a week removes loose hair before it's swallowed.

Urinary health

ProSeries Holistic Weight Management for cats adds cranberries and fruit acids for urinary care, and is formulated to promote optimal urinary ion concentration and pH.

Water is the other half. Try a fountain, wide shallow bowls, and bowls away from the litter box.

When it's an emergency

A cat, especially a male cat, who strains in the litter box and produces little or no urine needs a vet immediately. A blocked bladder can become life-threatening within a day.
