Hi Marcia,
Are you trying to dissolve crystals already present, or prevent future
formation? There are several short term prescription foods meant dissolve
crystals, which would be the best way to start with a cat that currently has
struvite crystals. To prevent future formation, I feed canned only, with as
much meat as I can find. No grains, very low carb, and I prefer no veggies as
well. No fish. There is anecdotal evidence that Wellness canned foods can be
problematic, but I seldom use it. I feed Evo Beef or Duck, Hound and Gatos Lamb
or Beef, and Dave's Turkey with Liver. Whe I order again I'll review my
choices, and maybe change some.
It helps to add water to the canned food, as it's crucial to prevent
any hint of dehydration. The more water "in" the better. I've also found that
water fountains increase their water consumption, but it may be that I'm just
paying more attention.
HTH,
Margo
