Hello. I do not know what might be available in Canada, but I highly recommend looking at this website for the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Click on the Accepted Products link at the top, then on accepted products for cats. It will list everything that is truly tested to provide results. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. https://www.vohc.org

That’s good that Isabella is eating the diet and doing well. I am not aware of any treats specifically for renal disease but Royal Canin makes a cat treat that has a low phosphorus and can be given as a treat. Most vets would agree that Isabella could have a single normal cat treat here and there. You do want any ‘normal’ treats to be minimal (like 3 treats in a week) and even the Royal Canin treats should not be more than 5% of her daily calorie intake. Whenever you look at treats, you want a low phosphorus and ideally a lower protein. I would avoid human food as treats. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I'm very sorry Lil Man was just diagnosed with feline urinary syndrome. This is a great question! There are a few veterinary treats that are low in phosphorus and sodium. I recommend Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Cat Treats and Vetri-Science Renal Essentials Feline Bite-Sized Cat Chews :-)

From Royal Canin's website: "This diet is only suitable for healthy adult cats that do not have a urinary issue or a history of urinary problems. This food is not a replacement for a diet prescribed by your veterinarian." If Elbi has already had a urinary problem, I don't recommend considering switching to the urinary care food. Urinary S/O is designed to encourage more drinking, as well as neutralize the pH of the urine - both of those together tend to almost completely eliminate the chances of crystals forming.

I think this is a very good food for treating crystalluria, and there are some differences between this food and urinary foods by other companies like Hill's. One difference that comes to mind is the calorie content - Royal Canin SO tends to be lower in calories than Hill's c/d. You may want to ask your veterinarian about the Royal Canin SO Olfactory attraction food which is supposed to be more palatable for cats, or if Bean really seems to dislike it you could ask about switching to another therapeutic diet. There are no over the counter alternatives that are proven to prevent urinary crystals in cats.
