PRO-VET - Struvite

Dietary food specially developed for adult cats with bladder stones consisting of struvite. The dry food dissolves crystals and stones in the urinary bladder and prevents recurrence of symptoms. It is a dissolving and sustaining complete food that provides sufficient nutrients to maintain the body. Can be used in cats that have struvite or are very sensitive to struvite.

• Dietary food for cats with bladder grit (struvite)
• Not suitable for kittens or cats with calcium oxalate!
• Can be used both dissolvingly and preventively
• Complete dry food
• Do not give other food or snacks in between (exception: special bladder grit products)
• Available in 2 sizes: 750gr or 3kg
• Minimum period of use: 4 weeks

What is struvite?

The development of crystals and stones composed of struvite in the urinary bladder is a common phenomenon in cats. Struvite crystals and stones can cause obstruction of the ureter, preventing the cat from urinating properly. Urination is painful and the accumulation of waste products in the body can lead to coma and death. About 10% of cats presented to the vet have urinary tract disorders due to struvite. Diet plays an important role in the treatment of cats with struvite. Dietary therapy focuses on lowering the urine concentrations of the components of struvite (magnesium, ammonium, phosphate) and lowering the urine pH so that existing struvite dissolves and new crystals are no longer formed.

How PRO-VET STRUVITE works

Dissolving struvite present in the urinary bladder and preventing struvite formation is only possible with a low urine pH and low concentrations of the struvite-forming components. PRO-VET STRUVITE consists of magnesium, ammonium and phosphate and dissolves or does not form at a urine pH lower than 6.5. It contains the right amount of urine acidifier so that the average urine pH has a value of 6.3. This pH counteracts struvite and means no risk of acidosis. The low concentrations of magnesium, phosphate and protein in the diet also stimulate the dissolution of struvite and inhibit its formation.

Minimum operating time

Based on literature data and the ideal composition of this diet, the expected time required for complete dissolution of struvite in the urinary bladder is approximately 4 weeks .
