Virbac HPM U2 Urology Dissolution & Prevention Dry Cat Food

Manage your cat’s urinary condition with this specialist clinical diet that encourages more water intake, dilutes and acidifies their urine to help dissolve struvite stones and limit the formation of calcium oxalate stones.

Struvite stones are a formation of minerals that combine together to form crystals and stones. These hard deposits collect in the bladder and urethra and can block urination, which can cause considerable discomfort and pain. They can cause a complete blockage in the urethra which can be life-threatening if not addressed.

VETERINARY HPM® Urology Cat Food U2 is a complete dry cat food that helps to dissolve current struvite stones and prevents new struvite and oxalate crystals from forming.

In addition to providing all the daily nutrition your cat requires, this special dry dietary formula:

> Contains an high levels of high-quality protein content (44%) to encourage your cat to drink more, thereby increasing urine volume and urination which is important in the management of urinary stones.
> Is analysed for a low struvite RSS (relative supersaturation) of <1 to dissolve and limit formation of bladder stones. RSS is the measure of how likely a crystal is likely to form and is a unique scale for each type of crystal.
