MAIN ADVANTAGES AND EXCLUSIVES

• Promotes increased water intake - High in protein and sodium, promotes water intake, which increases urine output and encourages more frequent urination.
• Lower risk of struvites RSS (< 1)* - The composition of the food is not favorable for the formation of struvites, with a risk of their formation (RSS**) <1, rapid** dissolution of struvite stones is promoted (effectiveness proven in Virbac).
• High amount of EPA+DHA (omega-3) - The additional amount of fish oil guarantees a high amount of omega-3, especially EPA+DHA, and reduces the possibility of urinary tract infections (LUT).
• Urine acidification (pH: 6.0-6.5)* - Urine pH 6.0 - 6.5 promotes the dissolution of struvites and prevents the formation of oxalates.
• Binds Phosphorus - Chitosan, as a phosphorus binder, inhibits its absorption and urinary excretion.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND EXCLUSIVES

• Urine dilution - Artichoke leaves reduce urine concentration (effectiveness proven by Virbac).
• Lower concentration of minerals - Lower amount of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, prevents the formation of struvites and oxalates.
• Inhibits the possibility of oxalate formation - Potassium citrate, as an exclusive inhibitor, reduces the possibility of calcium oxalate formation.
• Oxalates at RSS <10 - The composition of the feed is unfavorable for the formation of calcium oxalates, at oxalate RSS <10 (effectiveness proven in Virbac).
• Excellent edibility - A rich amount of protein and fat of animal origin guarantees excellent edibility and the desired result.
