My cat has had three UTIs since I got her two years ago. The vet recommends buying cat food that reduces her urine ph level.
I’ve been feeding her Purina One urinary track health. The problem is that she doesn’t like the food. She avoids eating it, has lost weight, became grouchy and has taken up hunting for food. Before switching she was a sweet loving cat, but now she is cranky and irritable.
I was looking at the store for other brands to buy. I couldn’t find any other brands for urinary track. (at my grocery store. I’m in the county: I don’t live near a petco/petsmart) But I did compare ingrediants and the main difference I found in Purina’s One Urinary Health and the other purina varieties is ash. Is that the ingrediant that lowers the PH. If so can I switch her to IAMS orginal. It contains ash in it’s ingredaints list, but doesn’t mention helping with reducing PH levels.
Or does anyone have any recomindations as to a brand of food that reduces PH levels that my cat would eat

My himalayan had a urinary tract infection 2 years ago and since then I’ve been feeding her Purina One urinary tract health cat food. She hasn’t had any more urinary tract infections since. Then I read that grocery store bought cat foods are poor quality and that real meat should be the first few ingredients and no bi products or fillers. I went to a pet specialty store and was going to buy her some Wellness brand cat food that was 50% protein, whole foods and no fillers but an employee said that cats with urinary or kidney problems shouldn’t eat high protein diets…so I got Innova instead (it has 32% protein and barley & whole grains)…
I’m just wondering if I made the right choice or not. I want my cat to be as healthy as possible. What is the BEST food to fed her?
