What to know about cat urinary health

Learn how to spot, prevent, and treat urinary issues in your cat.

What are the symptoms of urinary problems in cats?

Common symptoms of urinary problems in cats include crying while urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, peeing outside the litter box, and small amounts of urine. If you notice any of these issues, you should talk to a vet as soon as possible. Some urinary issues, like urethral obstructions, can be life-threatening conditions.

What can cause urinary issues in cats?

Cat urinary problems can be caused by a number of things, including diet, injuries, birth defects, and bacterial infections (aka urinary tract infections or UTIs). Medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes, are other possible causes of urinary issues. If your cat is stressed or anxious, they may pee outside the litter box. Stress and anxiety can also lead to Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) which causes them to strain to urinate and can be painful.

Can you prevent urinary problems in cats?

Yes, some urinary problems are preventable. Make sure your cat gets plenty of water — hydration is very important for urinary health. You can also talk to one of our licensed veterinarians online about dietary changes and ways to reduce your cat’s stress that can help prevent urinary issues.

How can I help my cat with urinary problems?

If your cat is experiencing urinary problems, the best thing you can do is to have them evaluated by a vet. Cat urinary problems don’t typically resolve on their own and some can be fatal if left untreated. Any cat that isn’t producing much or any urine needs to be seen by an in-person veterinarian immediately. Your cat may need a prescription medication or surgery to get better.

    I have already recommended Dutch

    “The vet listened to my concerns and trusted that I know my fur baby. My kitty was given the medication needed for a UTI without unnecessary invasive testing.”

  • Ellen W.

    My experience was awesome

    “I have a cat who hates being handled and traveling. My kitty was having trouble urinating. The vet prescribed antibiotics and told me how to monitor him for more serious issues. Long story short, he is feeling great and never had to leave his house.”

  • Tracie J.

    Great vets and their compassion shows

    “I love the fact my cats are comfortable in their own home to get checked out. If I need a prescription they send it out. It’s a great program!”

Frequently asked questions

What is a visit with Dutch like?

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

Who is Dutch for?

Dutch is for dog and cat owners wanting a more cost effective and timely way to handle common pet issues. We eliminate the unnecessary vet visit as well as the stress related to getting your pet to the vet. The Dutch experience is designed to connect you with a vet via video call for general advice and recommended OTC product offerings. In certain states, vets may prescribe medication and therapeutics and our partner pharmacy will ship it right to your door.

What's included in a Dutch membership?

All Dutch members have unlimited access to U.S.-licensed veterinarians over video chat and messaging for up to 5 pets. In many states, our vets can also prescribe medication for pets. Our vets will create a specialized treatment plan for your pet that can include prescription and/or over-the-counter medications, as well as behavioral modification, diet, and/or enrichment advice. A Dutch membership also includes free standard shipping and free, unlimited follow-ups with our vets through messaging and video calls. In addition, our Annual + Insurance plan includes $10,000 of emergency insurance. The cost of medication is not included in membership.
