if your vet approves something with cranberry in it, that's fine. But when I was talking to my vet about possible treats for Smoky - she wanted to completely avoid the cranberry because it raises the pH of the urine. Cranberry can be the perfect thing, depending on what is going on in that bladder - or it could be the worst thing. Struvite crystals and oxalate form at different pH levels, so unless you know what the problem is for sure, then I'd be careful with the cranberry.

My felv+ was getting a lot of UTI's. We tried many things from the doc.,
some helped temporarily, some didn't help at all. Then, I tried No-Fus. You
can get it in almost any pet store or online. It's a cranberry,etc.
supplement, and it's a maintenance thing. She hasn't had a UTI since.
