Can you tell me how “Naturals Plus Vitamins & Minerals” Cat Chow affects urinary pH? Is…

All Purina Cat Chow brand dry cat foods are formulated to yield a urine pH (6.3-6.6) in the range that has been shown to be helpful in promoting a healthy urinary tract. Although diet plays an important role in urinary tract health, it should be noted many other causes of urinary tract problems have been identified that have no connection to diet. These include things like infections (either bacterial or viral), trauma, stress, obesity, and even congenital abnormalities. Even certain types of cats are more prone to urinary tract problems. Urinary tract problems are very common in neutered male cats between the ages of 1 and 6 years of age. These cats are usually indoor cats that are fairly inactive and overweight. So although diet is one of the factors involved in promoting a healthy urinary tract, many other factors are involved that have nothing to do with diet. If you are concerned about the health of your cat when feeding a particular diet, it is recommended you speak with your veterinarian to discuss alternative dietary options.
