My pet has urinary tract problems. What is the pH of The Honest Kitchen’s pet foods?
The Honest Kitchen’s pet foods have a pH of 5.5 to 6.4 depending on the particular diet. The resultant output urine will have a pH of between 6.1 to 6.6 for a normal healthy pet consuming our foods. When checking or monitoring urinary pH it’s important to test promptly; urine that has been left in a container for a period of time prior to testing will gradually acquire a higher and higher pH as time goes on, which can skew the result. Our foods are not designed to artificially alter urinary pH like some prescription diets. Rather, they are formulated to be naturally slightly acidic for optimum health in a normal animal. If you pet suffers from urinary tract problem, a high moisture diet like The Honest Kitchen can be excellent for helping to keep the urinary tract and kidneys well hydrated and ‘flushed out’ to reduce the likelihood of problems occurring, compared with very dry, highly-processed diets which can cause an animal to be chronically dehydrated all the time.
