Dissolution of struvite stones (5 - 12 weeks). Prevention in case of risk of formation of calcium oxalates. OTHER INDICATIONS Prevention in case of risk of formation of calcium oxalates. CONTRAINDICATIONS Growth period. Pregnancy and lactation. Chronic kidney disease (CKD). Heart failure. COMPOSITION Dehydrated pork and poultry proteins, potato starch, hydrolyzed pork and poultry proteins, animal fats, peas, mineral salts, bean husks, lignocellulose, linseed, beet pulp, fish oil, plantain seed husks, fructo-oligosaccharides, chitosan, artichoke leaves, pasteurized Lactobacillus acidophilus. ANALYTICAL COMPOSITION Protein 44%, fat 16%, ash 7.5%, crude fiber 4%, starch 15%, calcium 0.65%, phosphorus 0.65%, sodium 1.3%, potassium 0.7%, magnesium 0.08%, chloride 1.8%, sulfur 0.8%, methionine+cystine 1.5%, Omega-6 2.3%, Omega-3 1%, EPA+DHA 0.3% MAIN ADVANTAGES AND EXCLUSIVES Promotes increased water intake - High in protein and sodium, promotes water intake, which increases urine output and encourages more frequent urination. Lower risk of struvites RSS (< 1)* - The composition of the food is not favorable for the formation of struvites, with a risk of their formation (RSS**) <1, rapid** dissolution of struvite stones is promoted (effectiveness proven in Virbac). **RSS: crystal saturation index compared to the U2 diet High amount of EPA+DHA (omega-3) - The additional amount of fish oil guarantees a high amount of omega-3, especially EPA+DHA, and reduces the possibility of urinary tract infections (LUT). Urine acidification (pH: 6.0-6.5)* - Urine pH 6.0 - 6.5 promotes the dissolution of struvites and prevents the formation of oxalates. Binds Phosphorus - Chitosan, as a phosphorus binder, inhibits its absorption and urinary excretion. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND EXCLUSIVES Urine dilution - Artichoke leaves reduce urine concentration (effectiveness proven by Virbac). Lower concentration of minerals - Lower amount of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, prevents the formation of struvites and oxalates. Inhibits the possibility of oxalate formation - Potassium citrate, as an exclusive inhibitor, reduces the possibility of calcium oxalate formation. Oxalates at RSS <10 - The composition of the feed is unfavorable for the formation of calcium oxalates, at oxalate RSS <10 (effectiveness proven in Virbac). Excellent edibility - A rich amount of proteins and fats of animal origin guarantees excellent edibility and the desired result.
