PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Canine UR Urinary Dry Dog Food is engineered to tackle urinary issues at their root, specifically struvite bladder stones. Its primary mechanism involves promoting an acidic urine pH, which is crucial for dissolving existing struvite stones and making the urinary environment less conducive to new stone formation. The diet's moderate protein content further aids by reducing nutrient availability for bacteria often involved in stone development. This targeted approach means that with consistent use, under veterinary guidance, you can expect to see a reduction in stone size and recurrence.
Consistent Feeding: Follow your veterinarian's feeding instructions precisely for optimal results.
Monitor Water Intake: Encourage your dog to drink plenty of fresh water, as increased hydration helps dilute urine and flush the urinary system.
Regular Vet Check-ups: Regular follow-ups with your vet are essential to monitor your dog's progress and adjust the diet if necessary. This food is part of a comprehensive management plan for urinary health.
Transition your dog to PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Canine UR gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of their old food. Always follow the feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian, which will be tailored to your dog's specific needs, weight, and condition.
This veterinary diet is specifically formulated for dogs with struvite urinary issues. It is not suitable for dogs receiving urinary acidifiers concurrently, as this could lead to adverse effects. Always consult your veterinary surgeon if your dog is on any other medications or supplements, or if you have any doubts about compatibility.
