There is not one certain diet to lower ph in cats. One thing is for certain; always provide plenty of water in a separate dish. Serve canned food once daily.

Some good cat foods with a lower pH for cats are sold by Iams, Eukanuba and Purina. Also, have your vet prescribe one you can't get from the store is the problems persist. If you need this food because your cat has a severe urinary tract issue, they may need an additional supplement if it hasnt cleared up.
