Uretic has achieved extraordinary results in tens of thousands through multiple generations for over thirty years. It was created by Dr. Wysong and owes its popularity solely to veterinary recommendation and word of mouth. By targeting wellness, immune and urinary systems, Uretic has proven itself as a diet that creates robust vitality. This improved formulation is designed to take advantage of new processing methods to preserve natural value, and nutritional advances related to epigenetics and nutrigenomics. Uretic now contains higher levels of fresh/frozen and dried meats and organs, protein, and fat, and a comprehensive spectrum and higher levels of micronutrients/nutraceuticals including prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, omega-3s, antioxidants and more. Excess minerals are eliminated, natural sourced, urinary-important methionine are added, and small quantities of fruits and vegetables mimic what may be consumed in the viscera of prey, and contribute important vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients.

What A Find For My Cat
My 10 year old male cat recently started drinking an excessive amount of water. I’d pass the water bowl and it would be stone dry. He likes to play with the water, scooping it out of the bowl with his paw, so I wasn’t sure if that was why the bowl was going dry – until I started watching him more closely, and realized he was in fact, drinking too much. I took him to my vet who did blood work, a urinalysis, X-rays, and because she just bought an ultrasound machine and wanted to try it out, she did an US as well, and thankfully did not charge me for it! The only abnormal finding was lots of blood in his urine, for which she could find no underlying cause. She said blood can sometimes be stress related. She gave me samples of dry C/D, a food given for many years to cats with urinary issues. He didn’t like it. I mixed it with his Blue Buffalo dry food, but he knew it was in there and he let me know how unhappy he was. The same thing happened with Royal Cannin. “No way, Jose!” he meowed. So I came on Amazon to see what was out there and I saw this – made by Wysong.I knew Dr Wysong many years ago when I was extremely active in ferret rescue. He was one of the first to come out with a well-balanced ferret food, “Totally Ferret”. One of my ferrets was losing a significant amount of weight, but my vet at the time could find nothing wrong. Then I discovered Dr Wysong and Totally Ferret, switched foods, and my little Mickey started gaining weight. I’m forever grateful to Dr Wysong. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this feline diet coming from Wysong.Today it arrived. I opened the bag, took a handful of Wysong Uretic, and put it under Riley’s sleeping nose. He immediately woke up, took a couple of sniffs and ate a piece. Then he ate another one. Then he stood up and chowed down the entire handful, and then looked for more. I gave him another handful and he wolfed that down. And I breathed a sigh of relief. So once again, here I am, forever grateful to Dr Wysong – thank you Dr Wysong! Oh – and if you compare Wysong Uretic to CD, you’ll discover Wysong has all natural wholesome ingredients, while CD can’t really say the same. And Wysong is not as expensive as CD, another big plus in today’s world of skyrocketing costs in taking care of our pets. I highly recommend this food if your cat has urinary issues and your vet wants him on a special diet. You won’t be disappointed.

Lifesaver for my cat!
I started buying this food for my male cat almost a year ago and he has had no issues with it. He is usually very picky and he ate this food right away. The food does have peas, but he does not have a sensitive stomach. Most uretic foods are very expensive and this one is so affordable and there have been no crystal emergencies at all. Overall I give this food a 10/10. Also, if your cat suffers from this condition try getting a Methionine gel from your vet or online they help get rid of crystals within a couple of hours if you notice your cats behavior early on to prevent a vet visit. I havent had to use the gel since hes been on this food but its best to have for emergencies.

Costs a lot less than other brands, but still meets the health needs of my cat.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say my cats love this food, but they do eat it. I feed them this and another brand, the other brands bites are huge compared to normal cat food (not sure if the makers of that food ever actually had cats), but the cats like the variety. I also feed them canned wet food (also for urinary health) once a day in the morning which they look forward to. In the past if they got the canned food more often they quit eating it. All the food they get is for their urinary health and also general health. After a couple months of this (veterinary ordered) diet, even their coats are softer and nicer to pet.I wouldn’t say I highly recommend this brand, but when adding up the cost, the ingredients, the bite size for cats, and all the rest I do recommend this brand for the budget minded that must also watch the health concerns of their cats.

Worked quickly and keeps working!
My feral little female had reoccurring problems, but she is so wild it took us 2 1/2 hours of chasing her down to put in a cat carrier when we took her to the vet to be fixed. When she got home she would not come out from under the bed for over a week. (can we say traumatized?) I can pet her, but she bolts if I try to give her medicine or even a flea treatment and will hide for days. Her little cat brain knew it hurt to pee when she used the cat box, so she started using everywhere else trying to find a place to pee that wouldn’t make her hurt. I started putting pads down in places she was peeing so it was easy to see there was blood in the urine. The vets office asked for a urine sample (how the heck do you get a urine sample from a cat?) and they would still need to see her to prescribe medicine. Then I would have to find a way to get her to take the medicine. In desperation, I order this and started giving it to her for her treat and mixed it into her regular dry cat food about 1/2 Wysong to 1/2 regular cat food. Completely cleared everything up (she was pissing blood) in under three weeks. Her urine was clear, no more crying and hiding out and it has been months now. (still can’t get her to use the “evil” cat box, but we have a good system with the pads) I continue to use it, all three cats eat it. When there is a higher mix of this to regular cat kibble, everyone eats less. That tells me that they are getting better nutrition because their bodies are not continuing to crave food to fulfill nutritional deficiencies. Everyone splits a can of wet food each morning and the dry food is always available. With the Wysong, they are not in a panic to get fed in the morning because they are normal hungry – not ‘my body is craving mineral/vitamin/protein starving’ in the morning. (although I am still expected to serve breakfast at the “proper” time – they are cats after all)

Questionable
I’m in to our second bag and my cat came down with a UTI. It appears to be of good quality and he likes it but it might not work as expected for urinary issues.
