Urinary tract disease is associated with the
build-up of crystals and stones in the urinary tract that can cause painful and
bloody urination and potential blockage in your dog. One type of crystal that
forms in a dog?s urinary tract is called struvite. Prescription Diet c/d was
formulated specifically to provide nutritional management of dogs with
struvite-related urinary tract disease.
Struvite forms in response to
urine saturated with magnesium, ammonium and phosphorus, as well as an alkaline
(basic) urinary pH.
Not recommended for - Cats. - Puppies. -
Pregnant or lactating bitches. - Dogs concurrently receiving urinary
acidifiers. - Dogs with: non-struvite urolithiasis, hyperlipidaemia
or pancreatitis (or a history of, or at risk of,
pancreatitis).
Additional information
- Monitor the urine. -
Eliminate urinary tract infection (infection with ureaseproducing organisms
will result in a high urinary pH which will compromise
efficacy).
