Virbac HPM U3 Urology Urinary Wib Dry Cat Food

This diet helps limit the formation of struvite and oxalate stones. To help support cats with feline idiopathic cystits it is supplemented with a calming Behaviour Plus Complex to help limit the impact of stress on urinary health.

Cats can develop struvite stones which are hard mineral deposits that collect in the bladder and urethra, leading to considerable discomfort, pain or a urinary blockage. Another common urinary condition in cats is feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), resulting in inflammation in the bladder without an identifiable cause. Stress management is an important aspect to consider for FIC cases.

VETERINARY HPM® Urology Cat Food U3 is a clinical complete dry cat food to help limit the formation of bladder stones (struvite and oxalate) and help in the management of feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), with the inclusion of green tea concentrate which is a natural source of L-theanine and has been shown to help modulate mood and stress. It can be used for long-term management of lower urinary tract disorders.

This dietary formula provides all the daily nutrition your cat needs while:

> Limiting the formation of struvite and calcium oxalate stones
> Stimulating water intake to increase urine volume and urination
> Balancing the pH of urine by diluting and acidifying it with a high protein and sodium content
> Binding phosphorus to reduce the recurrence of both struvite and oxalate stones
> Helping to lower urinary tract inflammation with a high level of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA)
> Helping to manage feline idiopathic cystitis

This dry formula is also analysed for a low struvite RSS (relative supersaturation) of <2.5 to treat and prevent bladder stones.

VETERINARY HPM® Urology Cat Food U3 comes in convenient resealable bags weighing 1.5 kg and 3 kg. Follow the feeding guidelines on the package for your cat’s body weight to provide the ideal daily ration. This food is only suitable for adult and senior cats not diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or cardiac insufficiency. Do not use during growth stages (kittens and junior cats) or while pregnant or lactating.

Another FLUTD named feline idiopathic cystitis or feline interstitial cystitis (FIC) is similar to a urinary tract infection, but is not caused by bacteria.
The VETERINARY HPM® clinical range helps to manage several conditions and is more adapted to feline carnivore needs thanks to its low carbohydrate and high protein content (moderate in the case of kidney disease).
