Additional information:
- Clinically proven nutrition that reduces the risk of recurrence of FIC signs by up to 89%.
- Clinically proven nutrition that dissolves sterile struvite uroliths from day 14.
- Do not use urinary acidifiers when feeding Feline c/d? Urinary Stress.
- Monitor urine to ensure that target urinary pH is maintained, and if necessary eliminate urinary tract infections.
Other products to consider:
Reasons to switch from Prescription Diet? Feline c/d? Urinary Stress in cases of FLUTD:
- To dissolve large or multiple sterile struvite uroliths: Prescription Diet? Feline s/d?.
- For FLUTD due to urate, cystine or xanthine uroliths: Prescription Diet? Feline k/d? .
- **If calcium phosphate is present as brushite: Prescription Diet? Feline k/d?.
- For obese or obese cats with FLUTD: Prescription Diet? Feline c/d? Multicare Reduced Calorie

KEY BENEFITS |
| L-tryptophan and hydrolyzed milk protein |
Added |
To control stress, a known risk factor for FIC. |
| Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) |
Supplemented |
To help break the inflammatory cycle. |
| GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) |
Supplemented |
Natural components of the bladder wall mucosa |
Magnesium Match Calcium |
Reduced |
Reduces the urinary concentration of struvite constituents (magnesium and phosphate) and calcium oxalate constituents. |
| Sodium |
Controlled |
Helps maintain healthy kidney function. |
| Citrate |
Added |
It forms soluble complexes with calcium to inhibit the formation of calcium oxalate. |
| Purpose of urinary pH |
Acid: pH 6.2 - 6.4 |
Inhibits the formation and aggregation of struvite crystals, without enhancing the formation of oxalate crystals. |
| Water |
Increased in sachet formulas |
Increases urine volume to dilute the constituents of all uroliths. |
| Vitamin E and ?-carotene |
Added |
Helps neutralize free radicals to help fight urolithiasis. |
| Vitamin C |
Not added |
It is a precursor of oxalate. |
