Hydration support, made for cats.
Cats are naturally prone to dehydration, especially those on dry food diets due to their low thirst drive. Stylla Hydration is formulated to encourage healthy water intake by enhancing the flavour of drinking water, making it more appealing and helping support overall hydration and wellbeing.
Proline
This amino acid contributes to the formula's umami flavour, which is highly attractive to cats. It stimulates taste receptors that encourage drinking behaviour, helping increase daily water consumption.
Glycine
Known for its pleasant taste that appeals to cats' preferences, glycine enhances water palatability. This encourages cats to drink more frequently, supporting optimal hydration levels naturally.
Proline and Glycine
Benefits and why it matters
Benefits and why it matters
Stylla Hydration utilises glycine and proline to enhance the palatability of water, encouraging increased fluid intake in cats. The scientific basis for this mechanism lies in the fact that both glycine and proline enhance the umami flavour that cats naturally prefer due to their carnivorous nature.
Specifically, proline is noted to activate group II tongue receptor units, which respond to "sweet" amino acids, a taste that cats show a preference for. Similarly, glycine has been shown to enhance palatability. By making water more appealing through these flavor enhancers, the Stylla Hydration Blend stimulates taste receptors in a way that aligns with cats' natural preferences, leading them to consume adequate amounts of water and maintain optimal hydration.
What the science shows
What the science shows
Studies have shown that nutrient-enriched water can increase liquid intake and improve measures of hydration in healthy cats.
- This increased intake was observed over a sustained period of time.
- Cats consuming nutrient-enriched water showed a preference for the nutrient-enriched water over tap water.
- Incremental increases in the volume of nutrient-enriched water offered resulted in incremental increases in the total volume of fluid ingested.
- One study found that two nutrient-enriched water supplements both increased total water intake and decreased urine specific gravity and osmolality in cats compared to tap water.
Why we use it
Why we use it
- Naturally Appealing: Proline and Glycine work by tapping into your cat's natural taste preferences. This is a gentle and intuitive way to increase their water intake, unlike forcing fluids or relying on artificial flavorings that might not always be healthy or appealing long-term.
- No Hidden Nasties: Our formula contains no diuretics. Diuretics can actually increase water loss through urination, which is the opposite of what you want! Proline and Glycine simply make water taste better, leading to a natural and healthy increase in fluid consumption.
- Safe for Daily Use: These are naturally occurring amino acids that are safe for cats of all ages. You can feel confident giving your cat water enhanced with Proline and Glycine every day as part of their balanced diet.
- Seamless Integration: Proline and Glycine are easily added to your cat's water without altering its odor or texture, making it suitable even for the most sensitive cats.

FAQ.
Why would my cat need a hydration supplement if they already drink water?
Why would my cat need a hydration supplement if they already drink water?
Many cats do not drink enough on their own, especially if they eat dry food. Stylla Hydration helps increase daily water intake, supporting kidney health and preventing dehydration-related health issues — even when water is available.
Is this product only for older cats or those with medical issues?
Is this product only for older cats or those with medical issues?
No. While it’s especially beneficial for senior cats or those prone to dehydration, Stylla Hydration is suitable for all adult cats. It supports healthy hydration at every life stage.
Will this make my cat urinate excessively or cause imbalances?
Will this make my cat urinate excessively or cause imbalances?
No. Stylla Hydration does not contain any diuretic ingredients. It promotes natural hydration by encouraging voluntary water intake, without overstimulating urination or affecting electrolyte balance.
What if my cat is picky about taste?
What if my cat is picky about taste?
Stylla Hydration is formulated with natural flavor enhancers that appeal to a cat’s preferences. It can be mixed with water or food to improve acceptance. Most cats adapt quickly to the new taste.
How often should I give this to my cat?
How often should I give this to my cat?
Stylla Hydration is designed for daily use. Regular use helps maintain hydration, especially in warm seasons, for cats on dry food, or those with health concerns affecting fluid balance.
