Specific CCD Struvite Management Dry Dog Food

Makes urine more acidic in order to dissolve struvite stones, lowered magnesium and phosphorous to help prevent recurrence. Not suitable for other bladder stone types.

Specific Struvite Management is a complete food for adult dogs, specially developed to help prevent and dissolve struvite uroliths, whilst enhancing the condition of the coat (tackling problems of hair loss, dry skin or coat dullness). The food is also developed to promote a low urine PH (below 6.4), acting to dissolve existing struvite crystals and prevent the formation of new ones through its low-level phosphorous and magnesium content. The inclusion of omega -3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) will further promote the health of skin, joints and coat for a healthier looking dog. Highly digestible and palatable to suit even the most selective appetites.

Benefits

• Dissolution & reduced recurrence of struvite – The diet has a reduced content of magnesium and phosphorus (components of struvite crystals) for dissolution and reduction of recurrence struvite crystals and stones
• Urine pH control – A urine pH below 6.4 dissolves existing struvite crystals and minimises the risk of precipitation of new struvite crystals
• High digestible – High quality and highly digestible ingredients ensure a maximum uptake of nutrients from the diet, whilst reducing faecal output
• Joint, skin & coat support – EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids with a beneficial effect on the maintenance of healthy joints, skin and coats

Not recommended for

• Urolithiasis due to calcium oxalate, ammonium urate or cystine
• Simultaneous administration of urinary acidifiers
• Metabolic acidosis
• Dogs with hyperlipidaemia or pancreatitis
• Puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches
