URINARY DISEASE

How Marro Supports Urinary Health in Cats

Updated this week

While Marro cannot directly treat urinary disease, our complete, balanced meals can help support urinary tract health, hydration, and overall wellbeing:

  • Golden Gravy: Adds extra moisture to support hydration.

  • Cranberries: Included to help support urinary tract health.

  • High-Quality, Balanced Nutrition: Supports overall wellbeing and healthy weight management.

Always speak with your vet if you have any concerns about changing your catโ€™s diet, to ensure that they have the best option for them.


Common Urinary Conditions

  • Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

  • Urolithiasis (stones)

  • Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)

  • Urethral Obstruction (blocked cat โ€“ emergency!)


Signs to Watch For

  • Increased litter tray visits or straining

  • Blood in urine (easier to see on light-colored litter)

  • Crying or discomfort while urinating, or urinating in unusual spots

  • Excessive licking

  • Signs of distress or discomfort

We always recommend providing plenty of fresh water and keeping up with regular vet check-ups to help prevent urinary issues.


Emergency Signs (Urethral Obstruction in Male Cats)

  • Frequent trips to the litter tray with little or no urine

  • Straining or crying while trying to urinate

  • Restlessness or agitation

  • Loss of appetite

  • Vomiting or tummy pain


Causes & Prevention

  • Diet, dehydration, stress, obesity, age, or gender

  • Regular vet check-ups, weight management, and activity are key

  • Diets low in certain minerals, plus proper hydration, can reduce the risk of stone formation


Key Takeaway

Marro provides hydrating, nutrient-rich meals with cranberries to help support urinary tract health. While our meals can be part of preventative care, veterinary guidance is essential for cats with urinary disease or blockages.
