Benefits
Increased water consumption. The high amount of protein and sodium stimulates water consumption, increasing the frequency and quantity of urine.
Rapid dissolution of stones and prevention of stone recurrence. 41% of struvite stones dissolve in 5 days in an in vitro test.
Optimises urinary pH. A urinary pH between 6.0 and 6.5 prevents the formation of struvite and oxalate crystals (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac).
High content of omega-3 essential fatty acids. The added fish oil promotes a high content of omega-3 essential fatty acids and limits inflammation of the lower urinary tract.
Low phosphorus and calcium content. The low calcium and phosphorus content helps to limit their elimination in the urine and the risk of struvite and oxalate stone formation.
