2 Is your pet suffering from cystitis? Feline Cystitis is a common and distressing condition which leads to painful inflammation of the urinary tract, but its cause is often unclear. It is for this reason that treatment has moved from drugs to a more holistic approach incorporating the use of dietary, behavioral and nutraceutical therapies. Key ingredients to naturally support cystitis Bladder Schematic Sensory nerves Muscle layer (Quercetin) Protective GAG layer (N-Acetyl D Glucosamine) How do I know if my cat is suffering from Cystitis? There are a number of possible causes for Cystitis so it is important to consult your veterinary surgeon, Cystitis is often associated with the following signs: Pain/difficulty when trying to urinate Increase in the frequency of urination, with only small amounts produced each time Blood in the urine Urine Inner layer What causes Cystitis An increasing number of Cystitis cases are said to be Idiopathic which means not associated with a medical cause. These Idiopathic cases are often linked to a response to stress for example: Moving home Car travel Inter-cat conflict Disruption to home environment ie new arrivals of pets or people Lack of exposure to the outdoors Boarding in a cattery L-Theanine - is an amino acid component of Green Tea and is involved in Dopamine neurotransmitter function. It has been shown to have a calming effect in cats. L-Tryptophan - is an natural amino acid found in many proteins which is involved in the production of the hormone Serotonin and has been shown to help reduce aggression and stress. Glucosamine HCL - Offers support to the bladder lining acting as a natural barrier to protect the underlying urinary tract layers. There are two forms of Glucosamine; Glucosamine HCL and Glucosamine Sulphate. Glucosamine HCL is the highest quality, purest form of Glucosamine, it is more stable and occurs naturally in every living organism. However, Glucosamine Sulphate is the type most commonly found on the high street. It is a synthetic man-made molecule which is much heavier than the Hydrochloride (HCL) form and so dilutes the quantity of Glucosamine present. Glucosamine HCL has more pure Glucosamine per gram for improved cartilage formation.

3 What makes nutracys so unique Increase comfort Reduce stress Reduce irritation Naturally control inflammation Easy administration What is nutracys? nutracys contain the unique double action combination of N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine and Quercetin which are particularly beneficial in supporting normal urinary tract function. A large proportion of the bladders protective layer is made up of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These GAGs prevent the bladder walls from the irritating effects of urine and nutritional supplementation. With N-Acetyl, D-Glucosamine strengthens this GAG layer and reduces discomfort. The addition of the unique phyto-extract, Quercetin, is designed to support the cat s natural systems that control inflammation. nutracys+ helps to naturally calm your cat by reducing stress-related behavior and anxiety. Reducing stress is considered to be beneficial in the management of Feline Cystitis.

All our products are developed by vets and tailored to the specific needs of the animal. Water Cats should be encouraged to consume more water and should be presented in a way that your cat prefers. Water should not be placed next to their food. The aim of increasing water intake is to produce more dilute urine, which will be less irritating. Food Wet food may be preferable to dry because of the increased water content. Consult your veterinary surgeon as to whether a diet change is appropriate, offer the new diet in an additional separate container to allow the cat to express its preference. Overweight cats are more prone to Cystitis. Litter boxes Litter boxes should be provided in several quiet, stress-free locations throughout the house, particularly in multi-cat households. There should be one litter tray per cat plus one. Litter should be non-scented and cleaned daily avoiding a strong disinfectant. Reduce stress The aim is to minimise stress so the indoor environment should include opportunities for scratching, climbing, hiding, and resting. If there is a local cat in the neighbourhood causing stress to your cat, try to prevent your cat gaining access to the aggressor. Increase play The aim is to reduce anxiety. Some cats prefer to be petted, whereas others may prefer playing with a variety of small toys.
