Wysong Uretic Dry Cat Food, 5-lb bag
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Uretic has achieved extraordinary results in tens of thousands of felines through multiple generations for over thirty years. It is created by a veterinarian and owes its popularity solely to veterinary recommendation and word of mouth. By targeting wellness, immune and urinary systems, Uretic natural cat food 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.

Cats love it!
By Coco on Oct 25, 2020
My cats are in love! My male cat recently had a urinary blockage about a month ago after we moved into a new house. We took him to the ER and they cleared the obstruction which cost us more than $2000. I give my cats a mix of wet and dry food. My cats love dry food but, since the blockage, I had stopped giving it to them afraid that it would only lead to lower water intake causing another urinary issue. But then I saw this dry uretic diet and tried it out with my cat. I add water in it so he gets some fluids in him too. Both my cats love it! I am really happy with it. The smell smells like any other dry cat food which doesn't bother me, like a strong chicken and fish smell. They love My cats are in love!

They love it so much, a night ago they found the bag from a high shelf and knocked it down and tore it apart. One thing I would love is for this bag to have a resealable closure. For now, I use an elastic rubber band to keep it sealed. As for the ingredients, I could do without the potato, brown rice, and peas but I'm glad it doesn't have any by-products or harmful preservatives. Also happy with the DL-Methionine in it! Was tough to find urinary care diets with DL-Methionine that wasn't just the Hills prescription diet. … more

My 19 yr old with finicky appetite LIKES THIS food!
By catdad on Oct 22, 2020
She was on Wysong geriatrix formula about 3 yrs now and just had some urinary problems so I switched her to this diet 10 days ago.She was just seen by a vet, who said well...you are feeding her a great diet! Compare what's in this to anything by Hills or Royal Canin and you will see a huge difference in quality. Thank you to Chewy and Dr Randy Wysong a vet making quality pet food since1979

Use with caution
By Stones on Sep 3, 2020
I have a 9 year old neutered male cat. Never been sick a day in his life until this week. My boy has been on Wysong Uretic dry food for six months and has just come home from the vet for treatment of bladder/kidney stones. I chose this food trying to provide him a healthy diet and to free him from future urinary tract issues as much as a diet can do so! My vet indicated it was the food that caused his stones because he is older and never had stones before. She says if a cat is going to have this health problem it will occur at a much younger age. So that is our story and sadly we cannot recommend this food for your cat(s).

Grayson the cat says YES
By bobelly on Aug 1, 2020
A couple of years ago the vet said he had to be on a special urinary diet for rest of his life (he's 10, 8 at the time so it might be a long time hopefully). He Rx'd Hill's CD but I started getting this early on and mix it together. It is much less expensive, the cat loves it. He is doing great, chasing bugs and birds, has bright eyes, pees well, etc. He gets an interesting mix size shapes kibble due to the mix. It DOES NOT STINK! But the wet version sure does, ugh! I think people may have reviewed this dry version by mistake.

Cat likes it
By CatSlave on Jul 10, 2020
My cat who has a history of urinary crystals liked this food - and so do the other cats. I can't comment on whether it fixes urinary problems, because the cat wasn't currently having a problem- I got this as insurance. Wish it was made without grain, but overall it's got pretty good ingredients - and much better than all those super-expensive "prescription" foods full of horrible ingredients. Our vet recommended one of those, but I couldn't give the cat garbage. I went instead with NOW pets Urinary supplement (Chewy's got it) and he hasn't had a problem since. The Wysong is an addition to my artillery.

works for my cat
By furry on Sep 21, 2020
I was mixing this food with my cats prescription c/d food to save money but his rx ran out. I started feeding this and supplement with wet food and so far things are working out.

Nutrition makes a difference
By Maxer on Jul 23, 2020
The vet was recommending surgery for my male cat but I got the best formula I could find for urinary issues and along with encouraging fresh water drinking (replenishing daily) and some meds to stop the infection he has not had any problems since and that was 4 years ago. All this time Wysong Uretic has been his dry food brand that he eats along with his wet food. I like the results and he likes the taste.

For Frosty
By ncpackrat on Jul 29, 2020
Frosty had been into the Vet for urinary issues a couple times. Tried the Rx dry food and he wasn't a fan then he quit eating it altogether. Found this & thought we would give it a try. He likes it as does the other 2 in the house though they don't have any problems. Between this food, the urinary treats & the water fountain he has been doing great for well over a year now!

He likes it!
By Anna on Aug 20, 2020
One of the only UTI foods that I have found that my cat will eat. He is not a big fan of most of them, but will tolerate some. He seems to love this, first time I've tried it. Can't comment as to whether it works or not, but here's to hoping!

Seems to be working for cat with crystals
By Kiddobug on Jun 15, 2020
I read many reviews on here and decided on this food because of the terrible ingredients that are in the super expensive Urinary tract prescription cat foods. Firstly, I know you can't expect a food to just magically "fix" your cat overnight. I've always added water to my cat's food and mix their kibble with canned food. I rescue cats and currently have 6. I feed them a high quality limited-ingredient food with no fillers. I've never had a cat with crystals, because I feed them dry and canned food (chicken, rabbit, duck, etc) with plenty of moisture. I introduced a new cat to my group and one of my cats that is very anxious started peeing in the house. The new cat is very sweet and friendly I read many reviews on here and decided on this food because of the terrible ingredients that are in the super expensive Urinary tract prescription cat foods.

I introduced a new cat to my group and one of my cats that is very anxious started peeing in the house. The new cat is very sweet and friendly but my anxious kitty doesn't like change. It's possible that the stress of this and maybe "holding" his pee (he tends to hide for a long time) caused him to get crystals. I also started giving him rescue remedy for pets which really helps him with his anxiety. I've only had this food for a few days, but it seems to be helping. Someone mentioned this food has a really strong smell, I have no idea what they're talking about unless they meant the canned food which I haven't tried yet. To me, all canned food has a strong smell which I imagine is attractive to a cat Cats don't naturally drink much water in the wild, so you have to provide that to them in their food. They need protein (chicken, rabbit, duck, turkey) fish alone does not provide enough protein for a cat. I'm happy with this food so far! … more
