Effective treatments for your cat’s urinary issues
Whether your pet’s urinary problems are due to a short-term issue or part of a recurring condition, virtual care on Vetster connects you with trusted veterinarians who can guide you through next steps. Our transparent pricing and personalized care make it easy to get professional support from home.
Urinary issues in cats can have many different causes, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney and bladder stones. Because these causes vary widely, treatment recommendations and costs do too. Your vet will assess your cat’s symptoms, medical history, and risk factors to determine the most appropriate next steps.
Here are some general examples of potential treatment costs:
-
Prescription urinary diets generally cost between $45 and $70 per bag of dry food, or approximately $2 to $4 per can of wet food.
-
Antibiotics generally cost between $20 and $50 per course, depending on your cat's size and the duration of treatment.
-
Pheromone diffusers for stress reduction generally cost between $35 and $50 for a starter kit, with monthly refills ranging from $20 to $30.

FAQ
Vetster provides any pet parent with accessible, quality pet healthcare from a licensed veterinary professional at any time of day, all from the comfort of home and at an affordable price point. All you need is an internet connection.
Many urinary issues, like frequent urination or mild accidents, can be discussed in a virtual appointment, but some signs point to a serious emergency that needs immediate in-person care. If your pet is straining to urinate but not producing any urine, vocalizing in pain, or has a swollen or firm belly, seek emergency care right away. These can be signs of a urinary obstruction, a life-threatening condition that is especially common in male cats. Other general emergency symptoms include bloody urine, vomiting, weakness, collapse, pale gums, or signs of severe discomfort. If your pet seems unable to rest, is frequently posturing to urinate without success, or appears distressed, don’t wait — head to an emergency clinic immediately. If your pet’s symptoms are subtle or unclear, a virtual care appointment can help you get expert guidance from home, making it easier to decide whether emergency care is needed and how urgently to seek it. When in doubt, it’s safest to head to an emergency clinic.
If appropriate and legally permitted in your location, your veterinarian may prescribe medication to support your cat’s treatment. Your Vetster veterinarian will work with you to understand your cat’s symptoms and recommend personalized next steps.
Treatment costs depend on your cat’s size, the specific diagnosis, and the duration of care. Some urinary issues may resolve in a few days, while others may require long-term management. Because there are so many variables, it’s difficult to estimate the exact cost of treatment without a veterinary evaluation. The best way to understand your cat’s care needs and related costs is to speak with a veterinarian. Once your Vetster vet has made a diagnosis, you can ask for a cost estimate and collaborate on treatment options that align with your budget and your cat’s health.
After your veterinarian prescribes them, you can order medications for related urinary health concerns directly through VetsterRx (where available) or fill the prescription at a pet pharmacy of your choice.
