Urinary tract
Urinary stones form in the bladder due to an accumulation of minerals and other substances, which are normally dissolved and excreted in the urine. In addition to the right diet, an increased fluid intake and exercise are particularly important for successful treatment.
Depending on the type of crystals or stones formed - vets very frequently find struvite and calcium oxalate stones - the first thing to do is reducing the consumption of stone forming minerals in the diet.
With struvite stones, the urine's pH level is also a decisive factor. Another measure: prioritise wet food and encourage your pet to drink more water.
An increased intake of fluids is the most important aspect of dietary support. This will increase urine output and allow the urinary system to be flushed more frequently.
n order to prevent a recurrence of the urinary stones, your pet should be given the relevant diet based on your vet’s recommendation or initially for 6 months.
