My cat is prone to urinary tract infections. She's been to vet once and had surgery to remove a couple stones and has also been on several rounds of antibiotics from time to time. She is fed a special diet for her condition. Is it better to feed her a dry or wet food? And should I try giving her distilled water versus our hard tap water to try and help decrease the frequency of her urinary infections.
