• Prescribed by veterinarians for the nutritional support of cats with Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)
• For a healthy urinary system, cats require a precise balance of minerals to prevent crystals from forming in the urine which can lead to the creation of painful bladder stones and other complications

• It has also been demonstrated to reduce the recurrence rate of FIC signs by 89%
• The controlled levels of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium helps to limit the risk of recurrence/occurrence of struvite and calcium oxalate urolithiasis
• The addition of Potassium Citrate also aids in preventing oxalate crystals and uroliths  
• High in antioxidants (Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene) to control cell oxidation and promote a strong immune system
• Formulated with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) from fish oil to help decrease inflammation and irritation in the bladder wall
