Farmina Vet Life Struvite (Wet Food)
Farmina Vet Life Struvite is a complete dietetic wet food for cats, specifically developed to dissolve struvite stones (calculi) and reduce the risk of them coming back. It comes in 85g cans and works primarily by acidifying the urine and controlling mineral levels.
Key Nutritional Highlights:
The formula is carefully balanced to create an environment in the bladder that is unfavorable for crystal formation.
- Urine Acidification: Contains calcium sulphate dihydrate, which helps lower urine pH to dissolve existing struvite crystals and prevent new ones from forming.
- Controlled Minerals: Features very low levels of Magnesium (0.019%), Phosphorus, and Calcium, as these are the primary building blocks of struvite stones.
- High Quality Proteins: Sourced from chicken, sardines, tuna, and eggs to maintain health while managing the urinary tract.
- Hydration Support: As a wet food (75% moisture), it naturally increases water intake, which is critical for flushing the urinary system.
Use Cases:
- Primary Use: Dissolving existing struvite stones and reducing their recurrence.
- Recommended Duration: * 5 to 12 weeks for stone dissolution.
- Up to 6 months for preventing relapses.
- Important Note: Always consult a veterinarian before starting or extending the use of this diet. Serve at room temperature and ensure fresh water is always available.
