I tried Evolution on my indoor-only, 10 year old neutered male cat, who had no history whatsoever of UTI's. I followed the instructions, such as they were (ignoring dubious claims about longer life by feeding your pets 1/3 less food), and *always* fed him the food mixed 1 to 1 with water. This was far moister than the dry kibble I had been feeding him for years. After 4 months he developed horrible UTI issues and had to be catheterized. I wish this product worked, it does not. I suspect its hit or miss depending on if your animal is male or female and their own body chemistry. In retrospect, I consider myself a fool for trying it without any published data to back up its safety.
