- Gestation and lactation
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Cardiac insufficiency
KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS
Increases Water Intake
High amounts of protein and sodium stimulate water intake, increase urine volume and micturition frequency.
Low Struvite RSS (<1)*
The formulation induces urine under-saturated for struvites, with struvite RSS** < 1, to promote dissolution of existing struvite stones/crystals and prevent recurrence (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)
**RSS: Relative Super Saturation index
Optimises Urinary pH*
Urinary pH between 6.0 – 6.5 to prevent both struvite and oxalate crystal formation.
High EPA+DHA (omega-3)
Addition of fish oil allows to achieve high amount of omega-3, especially EPA+DHA, and helps limit low urinary tract inflammation.
Low Calcium & Phosphorus*
Low contents of Calcium and Phosphorus limit their urinary excretion and the risk of struvite and oxalate formation.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS
Addition of Oxalate Inhibitor
Added Potassium citrate, as specific inhibitor, helps limit the formation of Calcium oxalate crystals.
Oxalate RSS <12*
The formulation induces urine metastable for Calcium oxalates, with Oxalate RSS < 12 (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)
High Palatability
Richness in animal protein and fat guarantees high palatability and ensures maximum compliance in the long term.
Suitable for Adult and Senior dogs
The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirement of adult and senior dogs.

Low calcium, phosphorus, magnesium concentration
Optimises urine acidification (pH 6.0 – 6.5)
Addition of Calcium Oxalate inhibitor
Limits lower urinary tract inflammation (High EPA+DHA)
Support of current conditions
No identified predisposing or subsequent nutritional disorder
Restoration of body composition
Lean mass preservation (High protein)
Fat mass limitation (Low carbohydrate)
Added fat burner (L-Carnitine)
Additional health benefits
High digestive toleranceLow glycaemic index
