Graceful VetCare Recipe Urinary Care

BECAUSE URINARY PROBLEMS START QUIETLY, AND SO DOES PREVENTION

Urinary tract issues are among the most common conditions seen in veterinary practices, and for sterilised and adult cats especially, diet is one of the most powerful preventative tools available. Graceful VetCare Recipe Urinary Care is built around Freshly Prepared Hydrolysed Chicken (40%) processed to highly bioavailable small-chain peptides, an acidity regulator (Sodium Bisulphate) to help maintain optimal urine pH between 6.0 and 6.6, and the proprietary UriTract blend of Cranberry, Camomile, Rosehips, L-Tryptophan, and L-Carnitine, addressing both the dietary and stress-related factors that contribute to urinary flare-ups. In a 2025 study at Kennel De Morgenstond, Dussen, Netherlands, 90% of cats fed this formula achieved optimal urine pH.

Why it's a great choice

• UriTract five-ingredient proprietary blend: UriTract combines Cranberry (0.3%, proanthocyanidins that inhibit bacterial adhesion to the bladder lining), Camomile (0.1%, promotes calm to reduce stress-related flare-ups), Rosehips (0.1%, a source of vitamin C and antioxidant support), L-Carnitine (supporting healthy body weight as a recognised urinary risk factor), and L-Tryptophan (1,885mg/kg, supporting serotonin production to reduce stress).

• Optimal pH balance through acidity regulation: Sodium Bisulphate is included to help maintain urine pH within the 6.0 to 6.6 target range, a zone that minimises the risk of both struvite stones (which form in alkaline urine) and calcium oxalate stones (which favour acidic conditions), offering two-way crystal prevention.

• Freshly Prepared Hydrolysed Chicken: Freshtrusion HDP processes 40% Freshly Prepared Hydrolysed Chicken into di/tri-peptides that provide superior protein digestibility while presenting a low antigenic profile, supporting urinary tract tissue repair without triggering immune activation that could worsen inflammation.

• Chicory and MOS for gut and immune support: Chicory acts as a natural prebiotic to support beneficial gut bacteria, while Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) further support gut microbiome balance and immune function, contributing to overall systemic health alongside the targeted urinary benefits.

Key benefits for your Cat

• Study-backed urinary pH management: A 2025 study at Kennel De Morgenstond, Netherlands found that 90% of cats fed this formula achieved optimal urine pH, demonstrating its effectiveness in a real-world feeding environment rather than in controlled lab conditions alone.

• Dual-pathway stress management: Both Camomile and L-Tryptophan address stress-related urinary issues from different angles: Camomile promotes calm behaviour directly, while L-Tryptophan supports serotonin production to lower the stress responses that are well-established triggers for urinary flare-ups in cats.

• Reduced risk of both crystal types: By maintaining urine pH between 6.0 and 6.6, this recipe targets the narrow range that offers protection against both struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation simultaneously, rather than favouring prevention of one at the expense of the other.

• Hypoallergenic and grain-free protein: Hydrolysed chicken is broken down to short-chain peptides with very low antigenic potential, making this suitable for sterilised and adult cats with concurrent food sensitivities alongside their urinary health needs.

Formulated for sterilised and adult cats where urinary health is a daily concern, combining pH management, the five-ingredient UriTract blend, and stress support in a single grain-free, hypoallergenic recipe.
