URINARY CARE

STERILISED & ADULT CAT

When fed the Urinary Care diet, 90% of cats achieved optimal urine pH, to support urinary tract health

Kennel ‘De Morgenstond’, Dussen, Netherlands – 2025 Study

Keeping a cat’s urinary tract healthy is important, as urinary issues are common and can affect a cat’s overall health and wellbeing.

Mild problems may develop into urinary tract disorders, which are among the most frequent conditions seen by veterinarians.

Urinary health is influenced by factors such as environment, stress, and diet. Chronic or repeated stress affects urinary health by increasing inflammation and altering urination habits. Diet affects hydration and urine pH balance.

Providing appropriate nutrition, ensuring good hydration, and managing stress all help support a healthy urinary tract. With these preventive strategies, owners can maintain their cat’s urinary wellbeing to support long-term health.

Our Peptide Technology

Our peptide technology process enhances the digestibility and bioavailability of freshly prepared meat.

We have developed a unique process that involves cooking fresh meat and fish ingredients in the presence of a natural enzyme, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.

The size of peptides play a crucial role in protein digestibility and absorption.

When protein is not effectively absorbed, it leads to a reduction in nutritional value.

The Goldilocks Principle

Instinctively, you would assume that intact protein would be best for a dog to digest as it contains all the nutritional elements together as one.

Similarly, you might think that individual amino acids, broken down as small as possible, would be much easier to absorb. However, it has been proven in research studies that the ideal digestibility and absorption rates occur in small-chain peptides. We like to refer to this as the ‘Goldilocks principle’.

Too big

Intact protein means the dog has to work harder to digest and break down the protein.

Too Small

Singular amino acids are too small to be absorbed efficiently and may be wasted.

Just Right

Peptides (chains of 2 or 3 amino acids) are perfect to be easily digested and readily absorbed.

The Power of Peptides

Inflammation & Urinary Health

Highly digestible proteins provide amino acids that support the renewal and repair of urinary tract tissues, helping maintain normal function. Hydrolysed proteins are broken down into smaller peptides, making them less likely to trigger food sensitivities. By reducing the antigenic potential of the protein source, immune activation is lowered, which in turn helps reduce systemic inflammation. Supporting overall health this way may indirectly benefit organs affected by chronic inflammation, including the urinary tract.

Collagen peptides

As a key structural protein, collagen is major component of connective tissues. Collagen peptides may further help maintain the connective tissues that support the urinary tract. Together, these peptides promote normal urinary tract function and contribute to long-term urinary health and overall health and wellbeing.
