Pro Plan Veterinary Cat Hydration Supplement HC Hydra Care - 10 × 75gm

Some cats simply don't drink enough water, even when fresh water is always available. Helping them stay hydrated can be challenging, especially if they prefer getting moisture from their food rather than drinking directly from a bowl.

This palatable, moisture-rich hydration supplement offers an additional way to encourage fluid intake. Designed for cats that need extra hydration support, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HC Hydra Care helps increase total water consumption and promotes urine dilution.

In a study cited by Purina, cats consuming Hydra Care demonstrated 28% greater total water intake compared with cats drinking only bowl water. The formula also helps reduce urine specific gravity and osmolality, supporting more dilute urine.

Each multipack contains 10 individual 75g pouches, making it convenient to add hydration support to your cat's daily routine.

Important: Hydra Care is a complementary hydration supplement, not a complete meal or a replacement for fresh drinking water.

Why Choose Pro Plan HC Hydra Care?

1. Helps Cats Drink More Water

Cats can have relatively low voluntary water intake, particularly when their diet consists mainly of dry food.

Hydra Care provides an additional source of fluid that cats can consume alongside their regular meals and drinking water.

Its palatable formula is designed to encourage voluntary consumption.

2. Supports Urine Dilution

Increasing total water intake can contribute to more dilute urine.

Purina Pro Plan HC Hydra Care is formulated to support this process by encouraging additional fluid consumption.

The supplied product information states that Hydra Care helps reduce:

• Urine specific gravity.
• Urine osmolality.

These measurements relate to urine concentration.

Note: Hydra Care is not a treatment for urinary obstruction, infection, or other urinary disease. Cats with urinary symptoms require veterinary assessment.

3. Clinically Studied Hydration Support

According to the supplied Purina product information, cats receiving Hydra Care demonstrated 28% greater water consumption compared with cats drinking only bowl water.

This figure refers to the reported study comparison and does not guarantee the same result for every cat.

Individual responses can vary depending on diet, health, environment, and drinking behaviour.

4. Highly Palatable Formula

Some cats are selective about what they eat or drink.

Hydra Care is designed with a palatable texture and taste to encourage cats to consume it voluntarily.

This can make it easier to incorporate additional fluids into their daily routine.

5. Complements Regular Cat Food

Hydra Care is a supplementary product intended to be offered alongside your cat's usual food.

It does not replace a nutritionally complete diet.

Your cat should continue receiving appropriate daily nutrition and have access to clean drinking water.

6. Convenient Daily Portions

Each pouch contains 75g of hydration supplement.

The multipack provides 10 individual pouches, allowing you to serve portions conveniently according to the current packaging instructions or your veterinarian's recommendation.

Who Is Hydra Care Suitable For?

Hydra Care may be useful for:

• Cats that drink relatively little water.
• Cats that prefer consuming moisture from food or palatable liquids.
• Cats requiring additional hydration support.
• Cats whose veterinarian recommends encouraging greater fluid intake.
• Cats needing nutritional support for urine dilution.

Veterinary Advice: If your cat is suddenly drinking less, appears dehydrated, is vomiting, or shows changes in urination, seek veterinary advice rather than relying on a hydration supplement alone.

Understanding Hydration and Urinary Health

Why Is Hydration Important for Cats?

Water supports essential functions throughout the body, including circulation, temperature regulation, digestion, and waste removal.

Cats obtain water from both their drinking bowls and their food.

Encouraging adequate fluid intake is particularly important when a cat's normal drinking habits are insufficient.

What Does Urine Dilution Mean?

Urine dilution refers to a reduction in urine concentration.

When a cat consumes more water, its urine may become more dilute.

Hydra Care is designed to encourage water consumption and support this process.

What Are Urine Specific Gravity and Osmolality?

Urine specific gravity is a measure of urine concentration relative to water.

Urine osmolality measures the concentration of dissolved particles in urine.

The supplied product information states that Hydra Care helps reduce both measurements.

These values should be interpreted by a veterinarian when evaluating urinary health.

Important Veterinary Considerations

Cats With Urinary Conditions

Hydra Care may support fluid intake and urine dilution, but it does not replace diagnosis or treatment for urinary tract conditions.

If your cat is straining to urinate, producing little or no urine, or showing signs of pain, seek urgent veterinary care.

Cats With Medical Fluid Restrictions

Some cats with heart, kidney, or other medical conditions may require individual fluid management.

Consult your veterinarian before introducing a hydration supplement if your cat has a diagnosed condition or is receiving treatment.

Sudden Changes in Drinking Behaviour

A sudden increase or decrease in drinking can indicate an underlying health issue.

Hydra Care should not be used to delay veterinary assessment of unexplained changes.
