Virbac Cat Urology Struvite Dissolution (U1) Dry Food 3 kg: Veterinary Support for Dissolving and Preventing Struvite Stones

Urinary tract issues in cats, particularly struvite stones, can lead to severe discomfort and recurrent infections. This condition necessitates specialized nutritional management. Virbac Cat Urology Struvite Dissolution (U1) Dry Food 3 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet specially developed by veterinarians to help effectively dissolve struvite urinary stones and prevent their recurrence.

Key Features & Benefits

• Struvite Stone Dissolution: Its special formula, which acidifies the urine (lowers urinary pH), helps dissolve struvite crystals and stones in the urinary tract. This provides relief for your cat and reduces the risk of urinary obstruction.
• Prevention of Recurrence: In addition to dissolving existing struvite stones, its low magnesium and phosphorus content prevents the formation of new struvite crystals, minimizing the risk of recurrence.
• Promotes Increased Water Intake: The high protein content (44%) can encourage the cat to drink more water, which helps increase urine volume and more frequent flushing of the urinary tract. Increased urine volume contributes to the elimination of crystals and bacteria.
• Digestibility: Formulated with highly digestible ingredients for sensitive digestive systems. This optimizes nutrient absorption and reduces the burden on the digestive system.
• Palatability and Acceptability: Features a palatable formula that cats enjoy, making long-term dietary management easier and ensuring consistent food intake.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your cat's nutritional needs, so additional supplements are generally not required.
