Detect FLUTD and FUS early...
With Scientific Professional Cat Litter.
Scientific Professional Cat Litter is taking the litter world by storm with its revolutionary light weight - 70 % lighter than clay litters – and Patented Sickness  Indicator. FLUTD is a serious problem in the cat population and Scientific Professional Cat Litter was designed as an early warning system to help cat owners determine if their cat might be developing a life-threatening problem.
What is FLUTD?
Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS) and Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) refer to a broad group of health problems that can affect your cat's lower urinary tract. A significant percentage of cats treated by veterinarians each year suffer from urinary tract diseases. If not detected early, these conditions quickly can become severe and even cause death.
What causes urinary tract disease?
FUS and FLUTD encompass a wide range of ailments with many contributing factors. They may be caused by infections, tumors, trauma or congenital defects. Commonly, when the pH of a cat's urine is alkaline, crystals of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate, called struvite, form and accumulate in the cat's bladder. These sand like crystals can block the flow of urine, especially in male cats. If the flow is completely shut down, waste products usually eliminated through urine can accumulate in the body quickly. Kidney failure, coma and death may result in as few as 48 hours.
How can I tell if my cat has a urinary tract problem?
Your cat may have an infection if he or she:
- Urinates frequently or has problems urinating.
- Stops using its litter box.
- Leaves blood or blood-tinged urine in the litter box.
- Paces restlessly, cries, vomits, licks its genitals frequently, or rests on cool surfaces such as bathtubs or tile floors.
Can I prevent urinary tract infections?
FLUTD has been associated with gender, age, environment, stress, fluid intake and diet. It is important to note that even when a pet owner goes to the expense of a prescription diet, the cat may still develop FLUTD because of the many contributing factors unrelated to diet. Regardless of cost, no diet absolutely prevents FLUTD. Owners can play a big part in minimizing the cat's stress level by:
