Virbac Cat Urology Urinary W/IB (U3) Dry Food 1.5 kg: Comprehensive Solution for Urinary Tract Health and Weight Management

Urinary tract disorders and obesity in cats are common health issues that can significantly impact their quality of life and are often interconnected. The tendency for weight gain, particularly in neutered or less active cats, can increase the risk of urinary tract diseases. Virbac Cat Urology Urinary W/IB (U3) Dry Food 1.5 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet specially developed by veterinarians to both protect urinary tract health and help your cat manage their ideal weight and maintain a healthy internal body condition.

Key Features & Benefits

• Multi-Faceted Urinary Tract Protection (U3):
  • Struvite and Calcium Oxalate Prevention: Helps minimize the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystal and stone formation by optimizing urine pH (6.0-6.5) and controlling mineral content. This provides effective protection against both common stone types in cats.
  • Urine Dilution: The high protein content (44%) can encourage increased water intake, which helps to increase urine volume and more frequent flushing of the urinary tract. Diluted urine reduces mineral concentration, thereby lowering the risk of stone formation.
• Ideal Weight and Body Condition Control (W/IB):
  • Low Energy Density: Specially adjusted low energy content supports weight loss and the maintenance of an ideal weight for cats prone to or suffering from obesity.
  • High Protein and Fiber: High protein content helps preserve muscle mass, while fiber content provides a feeling of fullness, reducing the tendency to overeat. This aims for fat loss and muscle preservation.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients for sensitive digestive systems. This optimizes nutrient absorption and minimizes digestive discomfort.
• High Palatability and Acceptability: Features a palatable formula that cats enjoy, which makes long-term dietary management easier and ensures consistent food intake.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it is complete and balanced to meet all your cat's essential nutritional needs.
