I think you are absolutely right that dry pet food is causing FLUTD. My cat had this horrendous illness and I am very concerned that when he was a kitten my Vet told me the best food to feed him was Hills but on this food he could not pass urine and another Vet in writing has said to me that my cat is needlessly dead because Vets do not even understand that dry food is the cause of this problem and my Vet changed him to Hills prescription and gave him a huge amount of treatment that did not work and failed to understand that cats should not be eating the huge amount of grain in Hills or any dry food and that the grain alkalises the urine and that this creates the perfect conditions for struvite stones to form and stop the cat passing urine. The American Journal of Veterinary Research 2004, Vol 65 says that the carbohydrate in dry pet food is the cause of FLUTD. I am attending a meeting in the House of Commons next month to discuss why the veterinary profession is failing to understand that pet food is causing immense and even fatal illness in cats and dogs. The veterinary schools are wrongly just teaching veterinary students that pet food like Hills is good for animals but on Hills 3 of my cats got cancer, one urinary blockage and one kidney failure and the DL Methionine in Hills and most dry food was found to cause kidney failure in research published by te JAVMA. I know a Vet who is writing a bok at the moment about how pet food is causing such illness that it is killing cats and this Vet used to work for Hills and Purina so knows what goes on inside a pet food company.
