Using a unique process, VetWater has developed CatWAter - Urinary formula to help prevent urinary problems in cats.
Its formulation is based on a preventative approach, as recommended by research in veterinary medicine, which relies on 3 pillars of intervention:
Helps increase water consumption in cats CATWATER is ozonated and chlorine-free with a light rate of acidity which encourages cats to drink more
Helps promote an ideal urinary pH CATWATER has a perfectly balanced pH between 6.2 and 6.4 that suits cats' needs
Helps minimize the presence of the minerals responsible for causing crystals and stones in the bladder CATWATER contains no minerals associated to urinary problems
THE CAUSES OF URINARY PROBLEMS
Cats produce highly concentrated urine. This high concentration leads to the accumulation of a variety of minerals in the urine
When the urinary pH level is abnormal, these minerals can lead to the formation of crystals
Combined with the inflammation in the bladder, these conditions cause pain, discomfort, and the risk of urinary obstruction
This IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CAT DRINKS MORE WATER
Will my cat want to drink CATWATER-Urinary Formula? Cats are extremely sensitive to tastes and smells, and particularly to acidic tastes because of the large amount of acidity receptors on their taste buds in their mouths in general. Because CATWATER-Urinary Formula is acidic in nature, with a pH between 6.2 and 6.4, cats will especially enjoy drinking this water. As a plus, thanks to the ozonisation process, which eliminates bad odours and smells in water, cats will find the water’s taste more appealing.
CATWATER – Urinary Formula has a balanced pH between 6.2 and 6.4. What does this mean and why is this important? The pH level refers to the degree of acidity or alkalinity and can be measured using a pH scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 marking neutrality. As such, anything below 7 on the pH scale is considered acidic while anything over the 7 mark is deemed alkaline (or basic). Ideally, cat urine must have a pH level ranging between 6.2 and 6.4. CATWATER – Urinary Formula was especially created to offer the perfect pH environment to fulfill specific cat needs by offering a lightly acidic water with a pH between 6.2 and 6.4.
In comparison, the water we drink everyday normally has a pH ranging between 7.2 and 7.8, which is too alkaline for cat needs. On the other hand, distilled water from the supermarket has an average pH of 5.4 which is too acidic for cats. Remember that a pH level that is too high or too low in a cat’s urine can potentially lead to the formation of crystals and/or stones called struvite or calcium oxalate which can in turn be very painful for the animal.
