Specific Struvite Management CCD

Specific Struvite Management CCD

Formation of struvite stones (magnesium ammonium phosphate) in the lower urinary tract is caused by high concentrations of magnesium, ammonium and phosphate in the urine, and the presence of an alkaline urinary pH. Specific Struvite Management CCD is specially formulated to prevent urinary stones. The reduced phosphorus and magnesium content lowers concentrations of magnesium and phosphorus in the urine. In addition, Specific Struvite Management CCD creates a low urinary pH (6.0 to 6.3) so that the formation of struvite is prevented.

Uses

By dividing your pet's daily food into 3 or 4 meals, the increase of the urinary pH value, which usually occurs after meals, is prevented. Struvite urolithiasis in dogs is often associated with urinary tract infections. Specific Struvite Management CCD will only be active when infections to the urinary tract are simultaneously treated. Struvite urolithiasis is just one of the types of urinary tract stones that can occur in dogs.

Key features:

• Reduced phosphorus and magnesium content, which will reduce the amount of these minerals in the urine, preventing the development of crystals.
• Provides a low urinary pH which helps to dissolve the struvite, and reduces the formation of new crystals.
• Increased sodium content, ensuring your pet will drink and urinate more. Frequent urination has a rinsing effect on the urinary tract stones.
• High energy density.
• Highly digestible, high quality ingredients ensure maximum absorption of nutrients from food, while the volume of faeces is minimised.
• The EPA and DHA in the diet are both omega-3 fatty acids with a beneficial effect on maintaining healthy joints, skin and coat.
• With natural antioxidants vitamin C, tocopherol and rosemary extract.
