Innova and UTI

I feed my kitties innova.
Zooey had a UTI, and is on antibiotics...
Could the food have caused it?
And does giving cats a bit of tuna every now and then cause a UTI?

Also, is innova really a better quality food as far as what goes into it is concerned?

My cats seem to like it.
But is it the best for them?

i feed my kitties innova too, so i hope it isn't the food! but apparently tuna that we eat isn't every good for cats..

It's unfortunate, but the "experts" still can't say weather or not food plays a huge roll in cats getting UTI's. Everything in print right now suggests that it's stress, or just genetic. If it's genetic, then the vet will suggest switching to a food that helps to balance the Ph.

my monsters LOVE Innova - of course, they like the expensive stuff!!

but back on topic, **knock on wood** no UTIs here.

my two haven't had any problems with innova and hopefully it stays that way!

I've used Innova on and off for over 2yrs and have never had a problem with any of mine. I agree that there are other factors besides diet that can cause a UTI.
Does the vet think Innova was a contributing factor?

Eukanuba's chicken & rice formula has a lower pH which will improve UTI. Might want to switch to them.

Do you know what level?

no the vet didn't say anyhting about food at all actually.
i was just wondering myself....

when they checked her she was at 500
she's going back for a check up day after tomorrow

i'm sure it will be lower as the antibitics seem to be working
