You using Hill's CD? That is what we used to feed our neutered tom that
had that issue. There are some commercial foods by Friskies and Purina
for urinary health for cats also.

The vet that originally diagnosed it told us to simply keep the ash
content below x percent. I think iirc, it was 3%.

Check with your vet. You may or many not need that Rx food, but I've
found Hill's to be an excellent cat food anyway and the other cats
seemed to like it ok. :-)

But yea, it's expensive!

E-mail the company with questions or compliments. They often send
coupons in the mail when you do that.

if you have access to costco check out the kirkland branded stuff
got a great ingredient list .. not sure about your needs but
appears to be right up there with most premium petfoods about 50
cents a pound

the vet had a rx from purina we tried, everyone liked the taste better, and
nobody was constipated, but the calico monster threw it up every other time
she ate it, she is missing quite a few teeth and didn't seem to get it
crunched up good... so yes we are back to c/d... the kibble, as the calico
monster and her brother that just passed away have dodgey enoguh teeth vet
wanted them on dry, and the tiny terror tuxido will starve herself rather
than eat wet food... it is entirely below her standards...

never thought of emailing them might be worth a shot,

I've nearly always ended up with coupons every time I've gone to a food
company's website and sent in comments if they asked for your name,
address and e-mail address. :-)

And no, it does NOT sign you up for a bunch of spam either!

sure worth a try, not only had it gone up to over fifty three dollars last
month the bag has magically shrunk from twenty pounds when we started this
several years ago, its now 17.2 pounds... but he has to be free fed and he
needs this food, and i have wayyy to many to try and feed seperately, Lee
