Happy Dog – VET Diet Struvit wet 400g

Description

Medicinal dog food for struvite stones

Happy Dog VET Diet Struvit is a dietary complete feed used in adult dogs to dissolve struvite stones and to reduce the recurrence of struvite stones. The main features of this diet are the moderate level of high-grade protein, reduced magnesium and phosphorus levels and urine acidifying properties. It results in a clear reduction in the urine pH. The slightly elevated sodium level promotes increased water consumption and thus flushing of the urinary tract.
