Yes, it is very common when feeding cats a vegan diet, that they get UTI's as a result of an improper PH balance. Vegancats.com therefore sells a product called "Enzymes PH" which helps and I think is great for any cat vegan or not that suffers w. UTI issues. If anyone's interested in the supplements they sell, they have a few good ones, ur cat doesn't have to be vegan to use them. lol. check them out...
http://vegancats.com/pages/1153/Dietary_Supplements.htm I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your doggies. My heart aches for you. I would be the same. I feed my dogs Evolution vegan dog food canned and kibble. they LOVE it. And they are extremely healthy, in fact, in comparison to a lot of other pugs we know (i belong to a pug group on LI) they have exceptionally beautiful coats and are in good shape, whereas many pugs are overweight and have skin problems that we know. I tried once to switch them to another food, but Lucy's stomach did not do well on it. So, Evolution it is. Plus carrots, brussels sprouts, mr barkey's and mr pugsley's treats. lol.
