Virbac Cat Urology Dissolution & Prevention (U2) Dry Food 7 kg: Double Protection for Urinary Tract Health

Urinary tract diseases in cats, particularly urinary stone formation, can lead to serious health problems and a reduced quality of life. Struvite and calcium oxalate stones are the two most common types of urinary stones in cats, and both their dissolution and prevention of recurrence require specialized nutritional management. Virbac Cat Urology Dissolution & Prevention (U2) Dry Food 7 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet specially developed by veterinarians to help effectively dissolve struvite urinary stones and prevent the recurrence of both struvite and calcium oxalate stones.

Key Features & Benefits

• Struvite Stone Dissolution: Its special formula, which acidifies the urine (lowers urinary pH), helps rapidly dissolve struvite crystals and stones in the urinary tract. This provides relief for your cat and reduces the risk of urinary obstruction.
• Dual-Action Prevention (Struvite & Oxalate): With low magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium content, it prevents the formation of new crystals for both struvite and calcium oxalate, minimizing the risk of recurrence for both stone types. This offers comprehensive protection against both common stone types.
• 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.
• Urine Dilution: Increased water intake and urine volume lead to urine dilution, which reduces mineral concentration and thereby lowers the risk of stone formation.
• High 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.
