MERA Urinary Cat Dry Food: Targeted Support for Urinary Tract Health (petnest.pk)

At petnest.pk, we understand the challenges associated with feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), including painful conditions like struvite stones and cystitis. MERA Urinary Cat Dry Food is a high-premium dietetic dry food, expertly developed in Germany by veterinarians and nutritionists, specifically to address these issues. This formula is designed to dissolve struvite stones and crystals, prevent the formation of new struvite stones, and strengthen the stressed bladder lining, ultimately improving your cat’s comfort and well-being.

Understanding FLUTD and How MERA Urinary Can Help:

FLUTD is a broad term encompassing various conditions affecting the lower urinary tract in cats, such as bladder infections, urinary stones, and blockages. Cystitis, or bladder inflammation, can be triggered by urine crystals, anatomical abnormalities, infections, and even emotional stress. In some cases, FLUTD is idiopathic, meaning the exact cause is unknown but is believed to be linked to how cats cope with stress.

Cats with urinary tract issues often experience painful and frequent urination, passing only small amounts of urine, which may even be bloody. Mineral deposits can form as crystals or, if they grow larger, as urinary stones. Struvite stones are among the most common types in cats. Due to their natural tendency to drink little, cats produce highly concentrated urine, allowing minerals to accumulate and form these painful structures. In male cats, the risk of urinary plugs (blockages) is higher due to their longer and narrower urethra.

MERA Urinary Dry Food, available at petnest.pk, offers targeted support by:

• Acidifying Urine: The carefully balanced formula promotes an acidic urinary pH, which is crucial for dissolving existing struvite stones and preventing the formation of new ones.
• Controlling Mineral Content: MERA Urinary has a controlled and undersaturated – yet nutritionally complete – content of calcium and magnesium, the primary components of struvite stones, to inhibit crystal formation.
• Stimulating Water Intake: The recipe encourages your cat to drink more water, leading to diluted urine. This makes it harder for minerals to combine and form crystals and helps to flush the urinary system, removing potential irritants and germs.
• Supporting Bladder Lining: The inclusion of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate can help strengthen the epithelial cells of the bladder mucosa, which are often damaged during bladder infections, making it harder for pathogenic germs to adhere.

Veterinary Advice is Crucial:

Frequent urination, pain during urination, and lethargy can also indicate other serious conditions like kidney problems or diabetes. It is essential to have your cat examined by a veterinarian promptly for an accurate diagnosis and timely, targeted treatment. MERA Urinary should only be fed under veterinary recommendation and with appropriate medical supervision. You can discuss if MERA Urinary is the right choice for your cat with your vet and then conveniently purchase it from petnest.pk.

Our Tips for Using MERA Urinary Dry Food:

• Combination Feeding: You can combine MERA Urinary dry food with MERA Urinary wet food for increased hydration. Both options are available at petnest.pk.
• Ensure Fresh Water: Always provide your cat with constant access to fresh, clean water.
• Encourage Drinking: If your cat still drinks little, prioritize feeding MERA Urinary wet food, as it naturally contains a higher moisture content.
• Separate Feeding: If you have multiple cats, ensure the cat requiring MERA Urinary eats only this diet. Separate feeding may be necessary, and microchip-controlled feeders can be helpful in multi-cat households.

General Tips for Cats with Urinary Tract Disease:

• Provide Clean and Multiple Litter Boxes: Offer several clean litter boxes in easily accessible locations.
• Monitor Urine: Observe your cat’s urine for blood and track the frequency and amount of urination. Also, note their daily water intake. This information is valuable for your veterinarian.
• Improve Drinking Behavior: Place multiple water bowls around your home, away from food and litter boxes. Consider using a cat fountain to encourage drinking with fresh, moving water. Filtered water may be beneficial in areas with very hard tap water.
• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity can be a contributing factor to urinary tract problems. Discuss weight management with your vet and consider a weight reduction diet like MERA VITAL WEIGHT CONTROL (available at petnest.pk) if necessary after urinary stone therapy.
• Regular Veterinary Check-ups: Have your vet scan your cat’s bladder annually.
• Stress Management: Protect your cat from stress, as it is believed to play a role in idiopathic cystitis. Provide opportunities for withdrawal, such as access to quiet rooms or high perches. Create a stimulating environment with climbing opportunities, scratching posts, and attention. Use cat litter that your cat prefers consistently. Consider consulting a cat psychologist for persistent stress-related issues.
• Consider Calming Supplements: Feeding L-tryptophan or casein-based supplements (e.g., Zylkene, available at petnest.pk) may help some cats become more relaxed.
