Struvite stones in dogs are caused by an excessive concentration of magnesium, ammonium, and phosphates in the urine, often due to a urine pH that is too high or recurrent urinary tract infections. Farmina Vet Life Struvite has been formulated to lower urinary pH, creating an environment unfavorable to the formation of new stones and promoting the dissolution of existing ones.
The balanced mineral content reduces the likelihood of crystal deposits, while highly digestible proteins ensure a complete diet without overburdening the kidneys. Omega-3s and natural antioxidants help reduce inflammation of the urinary tract and improve the dog’s overall health.
Key Benefits:
- Acidified urinary pH: helps dissolve and prevent struvite stones.
- Low magnesium, phosphorus, and ammonium content: reduces the formation of urinary crystals.
- High-quality, easily digestible proteins: support metabolism without overloading the kidneys.
- Omega-3s and natural antioxidants: protect the urinary tract and reduce inflammation.
- High palatability: ideal for dogs prone to urinary problems.
