My boyfriend's cat (Memphis, from previous thread) recently had some serious urinary tract issues and ultimately we found out that he has a lower urinary tract disease indigenous to many Persian cats. Well, he gets this i/d canned food from the vet, and I'm trying to tell him that there are less expensive alternatives out there that are just as good. He's not moving, saying that he's going with only what the vet told him. Any advice?

Here is what I tell EVERYONE...

If on a RX ... keep them there as long as they are eating ... but DO RESEARCH alternatives( ie looks like you will be )... THEN sit down and TALK with the VET about what you found ... RX s may not be the best ingrediants but they are formulated for a SPECIFIC problem ... In this case the vet choose a "easy to digest and on the tummy RX"... feel free to PM me
