Cranberries aren't just for Thanksgiving

Peeing outside the litter box is one of the most common reasons why kitties are surrendered or put out onto the streets. Urinary issues are very common in cats and “thinking outside the box” can be very frustrating for cat parents. 

Cats often urinate outside their litter box due to a medical problem. If your cat is peeing inappropriately, the first step is to visit your veterinarian. There are a number of common urinary medical issues in cats that could be the cause of the problem, including bladder stones, idiopathic cystitis or a urinary tract infection (UTI). When one or more urinary issue is chronic, the condition if often called feline urinary tract disease, also known as FLUTD. 

In the majority of cats with signs of FLUTD, the exact cause is unknown. This is why it can be so frustrating. 

At VOKRA, one of the ways we help treat FLUTD is with a supplement called Cranimals, a proprietary extract made from 100% certified organic cranberries.

If you’ve ever had a UTI, chances are you’ve heard a doctor, nurse or knowledgeable friend tell you to “drink cranberry juice”. Cranberry products are often suggested as a way for people to avoid or reduce future infections. Research studies have shown the phytochemicals in cranberries inhibit the adhesion of E. coli (the bacteria responsible for most urinary tract infections) to the lining of the urinary tract. 

Once a cat is diagnosed with FLUTD, we give them Cranimals to help keep their urinary tract stay healthy. 

By using natural remedies, like Cranimals, for common cat health issues like FLUTDs, it helps cut down on antibiotic overuse and the resulting bacterial resistance. It also reduces the side effects that may be encountered when drug-based medications are used.
