Food recs for cat with diabetes and FLUTD

Hello there! Managing both diabetes and FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) in your cat can be a bit challenging, but with the right approach, you can definitely help your furry friend feel better.



For cats with diabetes, a diet that’s low in carbohydrates and high in protein is often recommended. These diets can help keep your cat’s blood sugar levels stable. When it comes to FLUTD, staying hydrated is key, as it helps prevent urinary crystals or stones. Wet food can be a great option here because it not only helps manage carb intake but also provides extra moisture.



Additionally, you might consider incorporating some canned pumpkin into their diet to improve fiber intake, aiding both urinary and digestive health. Make sure to provide plenty of fresh water daily. Some cats prefer drinking from a water fountain, and that can encourage more fluid intake.



Keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort such as straining to urinate, frequent and tiny urine amounts, or increased thirst. These can signal that your cat might need a more immediate evaluation.



It’s wonderful that you’re seeking the best for your cat, and I’d suggest booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. That way, you can get personalized advice and work out a detailed care plan that suits your kitty's needs.
