7 Natural Ways to Get Rid of Urinary Tract Infections

By Mark Lunardi

You might disagree with me but hear me out on this. Conventional treatment methods for cat urinary infection only treat the symptoms and not the cause. Anyone with a cat that suffers from recurrent infections knows that it's the truth. Urinary problems can't be resolved by medication alone. Lifestyle changes and home treatments need to be used and followed on a regular basis in order for you to see improvement and correct the imbalance that causes the infections in the first place. Here are 7 ways to safely treat and prevent cat urinary tract infection at home.

1. Giving your cat tap water can lead to cat urinary problems. Tap water is contaminated with chemicals like chlorine so many cats avoid drinking it. This in turn leads to a thickening of urine and a hindered ability to empty the bladder. Give your cat filtered water instead.

2. Feed your cat home cooked food. The harmful chemical additives, preservatives, and coloring in commercial cat food can lead to a heightened risk of cat urinary infection.

3. You need to make sure that your cat consumes a sufficient amount of fluids in order to flush out the bacteria that cause urinary tract

infection. Since it¹s not possible to force your cat to drink water, try soaking food in water or broth before feeding him.

4. In order to relieve the pain associated with cat urinary problems, give your cat cantharis pellets. Cantharis pellets are a 100% safe,

homeopathic remedy that is useful for pain relief and helpful for cats that are straining to urinate.

5. To control a cat urinary infection, pure cranberry juice can be helpful. Look for 100% cranberry juice, not the mainstream cranberry juice

that contains sugar and other additives. Cranberry juice helps because it acidifies urine and flushes out bacteria.

6. Give your cat vitamin C in order to strengthen the lining of the bladder. Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory that can be given in

doses of 250mg to 500g twice a day. Do keep in mind however that vitamin C can cause diarrhea. Figure out what the correct dosage is for your cat by trial and error.

7. Homeopathic remedies that are formulated specifically to treat cat urinary problems can be highly effective. Look for a formula that can help your cat maintain a healthy bladder, a healthy flow of urine, and a strong immune system.

Put this to the test right away. Most cats respond well to these gentle, natural treatments. There is no need to give your cat strong medication every time he gets a urinary tract infection. In fact, medication just treats the symptoms. Cat urinary infection will just keep recurring if you don't treat the underlying cause of the problem. These simple changes in diet and lifestyle may be just what your cat needs in order to get rid of urinary tract infection once and for all and achieve permanent recovery.
