Description:

Virbac Veterinary HPM Urology Struvite Dissolution is a complete cat food for dissolving struvite stones (5 to 12 weeks). This food increases water intake and promotes good urine pH. It has low struvite RSS (<1), high levels of EPA+DHA (omega-3) and phosphorus chelators.


This Virbac food has a high sodium and protein content, contributing to fluid intake. In this way, the amount of urine and urination frequency are increased. In addition, a dose of dried artichoke leaves is also beneficial for diluting urine. The Virbac U1 Veterinary HPM Urology Struvite Dissolution recipe aims to bind phosphorus, optimize urine pH levels and, therefore, combat the formation of new struvite and oxalate stones. It does not contain wheat, gluten, corn, soy, eggs, or beef, and is highly accepted, thanks to its exquisite flavor.

Benefits:

Increased water intake. The high amount of protein and sodium encourages water consumption and helps increase the frequency and quantity of urine.
Fast dissolution of calculations. The average dissolution time for struvite crystals is about 14 days.
Low struvite RSS (<1)
High content of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA+DHA). Thanks to fish oil, a high omega-3 content is achieved, which limits inflammation of the lower urinary tract.
Acidification of urine (pH 6.0-6.5). Food maintains urinary pH between 6.0 and 6.5 to allow struvite stones to dissolve, without increasing the risk of oxalate formation (proven effectiveness by Virbac).
Phosphorus chelator. The addition of chitosan helps to excrete less phosphorus in the urine and therefore there is less risk of crystal formation.
