Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your dog on Calibra Veterinary Diets Oxalate, Urate, and Cystine, ensure you have received a specific feeding schedule from your veterinarian. The transition to this diet should be done gradually over 5-7 days to prevent digestive upset. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the seal is airtight after every serving to maintain the efficacy of the fatty acids and vitamins. Always provide fresh, clean water at all times, as hydration is a critical component of urinary tract health management. Do not feed this diet to puppies, pregnant or lactating females, or dogs with other medical conditions unless explicitly authorized by a professional.
