Pet Naturals UT Support Soft Chews for Cats, Urinary Tract Health with Cranberry and D-Mannose, Chicken, 60 Count

At the beginning of the summer in 2013 my cat began to inappropriately urinate. I was worried he was beginning to block and spent a large sum for very little help at the weekend emergency clinic, and was given Hills C/D which my cat completely rejected. On the following Monday our vet confirmed crystals. Things started to return to normal over the next few weeks, and then we went on a weekend trip. To keep things simple, and since he seemed to be healed, I had him eat dry food for the weekend. This was a huge mistake, because he had a 100% urinary blockage the day after we returned.We then spent a large amount of money on a surgery. After a few days, he was home, and on these three products:- Royal Canin Urinary SO Wet Food (1/3 can daily)- Royal Canin Urinary SO Modified Calorie Dry Food-  Comfort Zone with Feliway Refill for Cats, 6-Pack The problem was he was still constantly licking himself in his crotch area, so I knew something was bothering him. Then all of a sudden (about 2 weeks later) he started urinating everywhere and it was bloody. We brought him to the vet and his urine had a good pH (thanks to the new diet), very few crystals, but a blood clot had formed in his bladder. He was then diagnosed with FLUTD (which basically means "we don't know exactly what is wrong"). We had him boarded there a few days to have fluids under the skin (we tried this ourselves, but the YouTube videos demoing this had cats that must have been clubbed in the head prior to needle insertion, because our cat bucked around like a bull).After he cleared up we added the following to the prescription diet and Feliway:- Xanax (1/2 pill twice daily), with  FELINE GREENIES PILL POCKETS Cat Treats, Salmon, 45 Treats, 1.6 oz. -  Pet Naturals UT Support for Cats (45 count) -  Nutramax Cosequin Capsules, 80 Count, 4-Pack , mixed in with his wet food-  Precious Cat Cat Attract Problem Cat Training Litter, 40 pound bag  (we added this a few weeks after these other products based on an episode I mention below)He did have 2 inappropriate urination incidents after my cat was cured, but before we added the Cat Attract litter. I believe he was smelling old spots, which we had used quite a few cleaners on (including 2 enzyme cleaners) and could not smell anything ourselves. I have since ripped out the carpet, sprayed the sub-floors with Nature's Miracle, and then mopped it with H2O2, baking soda, and soap. Finally, I used Kilz Max on all these spots to seal it. I then got new carpet installed with a waterproof pad.After all of this was taken care of my cat started to reject these UT chews. What I do now is tear the pill pockets in half. I put a Xanax in one half of the pill-pocket and then press flat the second half of the pill-pocket onto the chew (this obviously does not cover the entire chew, but it does fully cover one side). By doing this my cat actually seems to enjoy the treats.Pet Natural's did recently change the product to this newer version. From what I can tell the product is very similar to the old one, but it is maybe a little chewier. I do think my cat likes the newer version’s taste better.It has been 3 years and everything is still going well. I actually hardly see my cat licking himself anymore. I am still following nearly the same procedure every day (lowered his portion of wet food slightly due to him gaining too much weight). 1-2 UT chews, 1-2 Xanax, Urinary SO Wet (1/4 can), Urinary SO Dry (Modified Calorie), Cosequin, and Cat Attract litter.He definitely drinks more fluids and urinates much more than he did before. I feel like I am attacking the problem at all angles, so really hope things keep going well.

My cat loves these! They are def hard though, but she loves crunchy snacks! every morning I cut one of these up into 5 pieces and put them by her dish and she eats all of the pieces like a snack! She is a 9 year old Pixiebobcat. I will def be buying these again!!

They were a little on the harder side and I had to come all them up for my cat, but still works very well

Both cats will not eat them

The media could not be loaded.  Very disappointed when we opened the bag and realized the chews were not chews at all, but we’re HARD kibble type treats. Even broke several into smaller pieces, the cat would not touch them! The following day, we broke up several more pieces and mixed them in with the wet cat food. The pieces were all still present in the dish when the cat finished eating the wet food! 😖

Got these treat specifically for my one cat that gets UT infections a couple times a year. Been giving these to her for a month now and no problems so far. She loves these treats, murps and purrs galore when I open the bag. I personally think these smell horrible. They are on the firm side for a treat. Not fall apart soft but not too hard for a cat to eat. I break it in half so it's easier to eat. Some people have said they got hard as rock ones and they should probably have returned them because the treats should be firm but not hard.

My male cat has had many issues with crystals and blockage over the years and this year has been extremely bad. I feed my cat very high quality food and don't like the ingredients for most UT products. Pet Naturals - UT Support for Cats, Urinary Tract Supplement provides an option where I can continue feeding my cat quality free range organic food and give him UT support. The other thing I'll mention is someone on a review recommended changing cat litter brand as well. I did both. My cat has been UT infection free for almost 6 months now.

Great if you can get your cat to actually eat them. Ultimately a waste of money. Too big for cat to swallow and little sticky sort of go bad dry when left out do smell little. Just wanted them to help 😿 oh well. A bit expensive for amount. I wonder if they actually test them on variety of cats. Hard to say if actually helps bladder not a vet.

Price is OK (as cat food prices go).

My cat liked them at first but now I have to break them up and hide it in her food. I noticed a great improvement in my cat after only a few days. Definetly recommend this product.

Cats refuse to eat them. Won't even lick them!
