"Both my fur babies adore this food.... So glad Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health is loved by both my cats. Will continue to purchase this product from now on. Thank you Chewy for providing an alternative to pet food requiring a prescription! Boo-Dah and Tavi thank you, too!"

— Linda

"Must have high levels of heavy metals or other nervous system irritant chemical, my 8 lb cat acted very disturbed after eating this and was normal again after going back to fancy feast pate. She seemed to do better on the turkey version of this urinary wet food"

Bottom Line

A decent alternative to prescription diets, but keep an eye out for quality issues.
