Hydration support, made for cats.
Cats are naturally prone to dehydration, especially those on dry feeding diets due to their low thirst drive. Stylla Hydration is a cat hydration supplement formulated to encourage healthy hydration and water intake by enhancing the flavour of fresh 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 uses Glycine and Proline to make water more appealing, encouraging increased total liquid intake in cats. This effect is based on their ability to enhance the umami flavour that naturally attracts cats due to their carnivorous instincts. Stylla Hydration helps cats maintain optimal hydration and supports their overall health.
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 flavour 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 promote hydration.
What the science shows
What the science shows
Studies have shown that nutrient enriched water can increase total 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 hydration supplement both increased total water intake and decreased urine specific gravity and osmolality in cats compared to tap water.
- Compared to cats consuming only water or dry food, those given the supplement consumed more liquid and showed a decrease in dehydration indicators.
These findings demonstrate the benefit of increased hydration for cats as shown in these studies.
Why we use it
Why we use it
- 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.
- 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 and feline hydration.
- These are naturally occurring amino acids that are safe for adult 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.
- Proline and Glycine are easily added to your cat’s water without altering its odour or texture, making it suitable even for the most sensitive cats.
- Stylla Hydration can be offered alongside food, making it easy to feed as part of your cat's daily routine.
Monitoring your cat's eating and drinking habits can help you assess their hydration status and overall health. Changes in eating, appetite, or how much your cat eats may signal dehydration or other health concerns.

FAQ.
How can I increase my cat's hydration?
How can I increase my cat's hydration?
To increase your cat’s hydration, you can try adding a feline hydration product to their water bowl. Providing moving water, such as with a fountain, can also encourage cats to drink more by mimicking natural water sources.
Cats are often attracted to the taste of purina pro plan veterinary supplements, which have a flavor that encourages them to drink more. You can also offer a care feline hydration supplement—such as Hydra Care—in a third bowl separate from food and water, making it more accessible and supporting better hydration.
What supplements are good for cats hydration?
What supplements are good for cats hydration?
Hydration supplement products, such as Stylla Hydration that contain amino acids like Proline and Glycine, are an excellent way to promote hydration. These supplements are designed to improve the taste and appeal of only water, helping cats consume more fluid throughout the day.
How much fluid should a cat drink?
How much fluid should a cat drink?
The general recommendation for cats is to drink about 45-60 ml of water per kilogram of body weight daily. The water content of a cat's diet, such as wet food (which has higher water content) versus dry food, significantly affects their total fluid intake. A good way to measure is by comparing their total liquid intake to their body weight. Cats with chronic kidney disease may require closer monitoring of their hydration and fluid intake to help manage their condition.
Can I add electrolytes to my cat's water?
Can I add electrolytes to my cat's water?
It is not recommended to add electrolytes to your cat’s water unless directed by a veterinarian. Electrolyte supplementation should only be used as part of a treatment plan prescribed by veterinarians, as they can diagnose dehydration and determine the appropriate intervention. While electrolytes are important for fluid balance, adding them incorrectly can lead to imbalances. It is safer to use a product like Stylla Hydration, which is a specialized feline hydration supplement.
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. Increased fluid loss in cats—due to heat, illness, vomiting, diarrhea, or underlying health issues—can raise the risk of dehydration, so monitoring hydration is important. Stylla Hydration is designed to decrease this risk by supporting optimal hydration.
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 feline hydration, especially in warm seasons, for cats on dry feeding, or those with health concerns affecting fluid balance.
Just as humans monitor their own hydration, cat owners should regularly check their pets for signs of being dehydrated. Watch for dry gums, skin tenting (gently pinch and lift the skin over the shoulder blades—if it stays up, this may indicate dehydration), and changes in skin elasticity.
Note: Kittens and older cats are especially vulnerable to becoming dehydrated. Early attention to hydration and nutrition in kittens can help promote lifelong health.
