Product Description
Advance Cat Veterinary Diet Urinary is a complete and balanced dietary food, specifically formulated for adult cats who need urinary system support. This product was developed to aid in the management of conditions associated with urinary tract disease, including the prevention and control of struvite and oxalate stone formation, as well as to improve symptoms related to idiopathic cystitis. Its formula has been carefully balanced to ensure a moderate acidification of the pH of the urine, thus contributing to the reduction of the formation of stones and struvite crystals and facilitating their dissolution.
The feed incorporates phytates and citrates to inhibit the formation of crystals in the urinary tract, and has a moderate content of magnesium and minerals which could favor the formation of stones, reducing their ability to precipitate in the urine. Furthermore, it has been enriched with optimal levels of potassium to compensate for losses through glomerular filtration and contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate to support the urinary mucosa. The controlled calorie content allows this food to be administered ad libitum, avoiding overweight in less active and sterilized cats.
Ingredients and Composition
Advance Cat Veterinary Diet Urinary is composed of high quality ingredients, selected for their beneficial properties for the urinary system of cats. Main ingredients include chicken meal, corn gluten, dehydrated pork protein, rice, wheat and dehydrated poultry protein. These components provide a source of high-quality protein, essential for maintaining muscle mass. The formula is enriched with animal fat and fish oil, sources of essential fatty acids for healthy skin and fur.
The product also contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, which contribute to the health of joints and urinary mucosa. Nutritional additives, such as vitamins A, D3 and E, ensure a complete supply of essential nutrients. The presence of DL-methionine and other urine acidifiers helps maintain urinary pH within the desired values to prevent the formation of stones.
Key Benefits
Advance Cat Veterinary Diet Urinary food offers numerous health benefits for your cat. Moderate acidification of urinary pH helps prevent the formation of struvite and oxalate stones, while phytates and citrates work synergistically to reduce the possibility of crystal formation. Controlling the content of magnesium and other stone-promoting minerals helps to reduce the risk of stones precipitating in the urine.
The product has been formulated to provide complete nutritional support, with an optimal balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The presence of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate helps maintain the health of the urinary mucosa, which can be compromised in cats with urinary problems. Finally, the controlled calorie content allows you to manage the cat's weight, which is particularly important for less active or sterilized cats.
Method of Administration
Advance Cat Veterinary Diet Urinary can be fed as the sole food source in a daily diet. It is important to follow your veterinarian's recommendations regarding the daily amount to be administered, which may vary based on the cat's weight, age and activity level. The product can be offered ad libitum, ensuring that the cat always has fresh, clean water available.
For cats with a tendency to develop struvite or oxalate stones, it is advisable to regularly monitor urine pH and consult your veterinarian for any dietary adjustments. It is not indicated for pregnant or nursing cats or for the recurrent use of urine acidifiers.
Contraindications and Precautions
