Veterinary HPM U1 Dissolution & Prevention is a Dietary feeding, indicated for the dissolution of struvite stones, the reduction of the recurrence of struvite stones, and the reduction of the formation of oxalate stones.

Virbac's U1 Dissolution & Prevention feed has a diet low in carbohydrates and rich in protein, with 34% protein of which 85% is of animal origin.

Veterinary HPM nutrition is for specific use and must be prescribed by your trusted veterinarian.

Benefits

• Increased water consumption. The high amount of protein and sodium stimulates water consumption, increasing the frequency and amount of urine.
• Rapid dissolution of stones and prevention of their reappearance. 41% of struvite stones dissolve in 5 days, in an in vitro assay.
• Optimizes urinary pH. A urinary pH between 6.0 and 6.5 prevents the formation of struvite and oxalate crystals (effectiveness demonstrated by Virbac).
• High content of omega-3 essential fatty acids. The added fish oil promotes a high content of omega-3 essential fatty acids, and limits inflammation of the lower urinary tract.
• Reduced intake of phosphorus and calcium. The low calcium and phosphorus content helps limit their elimination in urine and the risk of struvite and oxalate stone formation.
