urinary tract infection baking soda

As a Vet Tech with 20 years or so under my belt, I have accumulated many "needy" critters. My all-time favorite is a 14 year old orange domestic longhair male kitty named Currituck. Tucker always showed many symptoms of urinary tract problems and blocked up more than once-barely living through one episode.

I did some searches, this seemed easiest (and also the cheapest) way to administer the supplements. I know cranberries are good for humans too, so I figured why not. At first I was afraid they wouldn't eat their wet food because of the cranberry odor(and yes they are picky about their food) but to my amazement, neither of them seem to care and gobbled it down.

I haven't yet tried adding the powder into their "regular" wet food (Natural Balance) which they don't like as much but is more nutritious. But I'm pretty positive they won't mind it much.

Since I've started adding the powder (3-4... Read more

I have six cats and the males are prone to urinary infections. Haven't had any infections since I started using Cranberry Relief. I've saved lots of $$ in vet bills. This is well worth the cost.
