If your cat has ever suffered from a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder issues, you know how painful and frustrating it can be—for both of you. Many commercial cat foods contain ingredients that may contribute to urinary problems, but the good news is, you can take control of your cat’s health with a simple, homemade diet.
Signs of a Urinary Tract Infection in Cats
If your cat is urinating more frequently or only passing small amounts at a time, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Other symptoms include straining or showing discomfort while urinating, urinating outside the litter box, or even spotting blood in the urine. You might also notice excessive licking of the genitals, which can indicate irritation or pain. Recognizing these signs early can help you take the right steps to support your cat’s health.

In this article, we’ll explore the key ingredients that promote a healthy urinary system, why hydration is essential, and share a vet-approved homemade cat food recipe that your kitty will love!

Homemade Cat Food Recipe for UTI
While this homemade cat food for urinary health offers beneficial ingredients, it’s not a complete and balanced diet for long-term feeding. Think of it as a short-term solution to support your cat during urinary issues, not a permanent meal plan. For the best results, I recommend serving this recipe for no more than 2–3 days before transitioning back to a nutritionally complete diet.
