Cranberry Extract
Plant extract that can support the urinary environment, relevant for indoor cats and cats with sensitive urinary tracts.
What is it?
Cranberry extract is a concentrated plant extract from the cranberry. In cat food it is added for its proanthocyanidins that can support the urinary environment.
Why does it matter?
Indoor and neutered cats more often deal with urinary sensitivity. A formula with cranberry extract can support the urinary environment as part of a total nutritional approach, alongside enough moisture and stress management.
How does it work?
Proanthocyanidins from cranberry can help make it harder for certain bacteria to attach to the bladder wall. In food it works with other ingredients that support urine pH and mineral balance. It is nutritional support, not treatment.
Benefits
- Supports the urinary environment in indoor and neutered cats
- Fits anti-struvite and indoor formulas
- Works as part of complete cat nutrition
Misconceptions
Cranberry does not prevent or cure bladder infection. It supports nutrition long term. With blood in urine, pain when urinating or frequent litter visits, contact your vet immediately. Food alone is not enough then.
