One of the most exciting recent innovations in the pet care space is health monitoring cat litter. But what is it, and how can it help you as a cat owner?

What is health monitoring cat litter?

The name says it all: health monitoring cat litter helps you monitor your cat’s health. Specifically, your cat’s urinary tract health.

These litters catch potential health issues before your cat shows obvious symptoms. Considering how common it is for older cats to develop kidney issues and how good they are good at hiding signs of illness, this litter is a game changer.

How does health monitoring cat litter work?

Health monitoring cat litter detects potential issues by reacting to subtle changes in the pH of your cat’s urine. Some can also detect blood. Each litter works slightly differently but, for the most part, they change colour if your cat’s urine pH is outside the “normal” range.

The pH of urine can be influenced by a number of factors, including:

  • The presence of bacteria
  • Problems in the kidneys
  • The presence of crystals

It’s important to remember these health monitoring litters are meant to provide warning signs, not a diagnosis. If the litter tells you there’s a problem with your cat’s urine, you need to take your cat to your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
