Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in cats can be a distressing and recurring health issue. Fortunately, several natural remedies can provide relief and help in managing these infections effectively. Here's a guide to some of the best natural treatments for cat UTIs.
Due to its antibacterial qualities, organic apple cider vinegar is widely used by Earth Clinic readers to treat cat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It works by making the bladder environment more alkaline, hindering harmful bacteria growth. The easiest method to administer apple cider vinegar to a cat is by applying it topically to the scruff of the neck and the paw pads. Alternatively, you can mix a small quantity of apple cider vinegar directly into your cat's food or water — use 1/4 teaspoon for smaller cats and up to 1/2 teaspoon for larger cats.
