It is recommended that a veterinarian's opinion be sought before and during the use of this product in order to determine the needs of your cat
- Prescribed by veterinarians for the nutritional support of cats with Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) or Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)
- For a healthy urinary system, cats require a precise balance of minerals to prevent crystals from forming in the urine which can lead to the creation of painful bladder stones and other complications
- This formula has shown to dissolve struvite stones in as little as 7 days, with an average of 27 days
- It has also been demonstrated to reduce the recurrence rate of FIC signs by 89%
- Contains L-tryptophan and Milk Protein Hydrolysate to ease stress and behaviours associated with stress
- The controlled levels of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium helps to limit the risk of recurrence/occurrence of struvite and calcium oxalate urolithiasis
- The addition of Potassium Citrate also aids in preventing oxalate crystals and uroliths
- High in antioxidants (Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene) to control cell oxidation and promote a strong immune system
- Formulated with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) from fish oil to help decrease inflammation and irritation in the bladder wall
- The formula is designed to create an optimal urinary pH of 6.2-6.4 – this reduces the risk of crystal oxalate and struvite stone formation
