SD Canine Hills 370g Tins
Description
A complete wet food for use in dissolving struvite uroliths in dogs. Tray of 12 tins.
How it helps:
Prescription Diet™ Canine s/d™has been formulated to help dissolve struvite crystals and stones in your dog
Key Benefits
- Helps dissolve struvite stones.
- Targets an acid urinary pH to help increase the solubility of struvite.
- Not suitable for long-term feeding
Additional information
- The transition to feeding s/d™ Canine should ideally take a period of 7 days.
- Monitor the urine and control urinary tract infection throughout dissolution. Urinary pH will increase if infection with urease-producing bacteria is not eliminated. Urinary pH must be continuously acidic for successful dissolution.
- Dogs fed foods with a restricted protein content commonly exhibit unusual laboratory values, e.g. it is not ncommon to find a urinary specific gravity below 1.020 and a plasma/serum urea value less than 1.7 mmol/l (10mg/dl).
Recommended for
Dissolution of struvite uroliths
Not recommended for
- Cats
- Puppies
- Pregnant or lactating bitches
- First 1-2 weeks after surgery
- Dogs concurrently receiving urinary acidifiers
- Feeding for longer than 6 months, without monitoring plasma protein and acid-base status (because of low protein content and urine acidifying properties).
- Dogs with non-struvite uroliths
- Dogs with heart failure, hypertension, kidney disease or liver disease
- Dogs with hyperlipidaemia or pancreatitis, or at risk of pancreatitis
