[en] This synthesis aims to summarize the specific dietary requirements for prevention or nutritional treatment of feline lower urinary tract diseases and overall urolith's formation. Since aetiologies are diverse and the epidemiological knowledge are changing within the recent year, empirical treatment of the pathology isn't anymore advisable. Symptomatology and aetiology are briefly presented and the different dietary factors to be taken into consideration in urolith's formation are discussed. Chemical composition of petfoods to treat or prevent struvite or calcium oxalate uroliths are compared
