VETERINARY HPM® Urology Cat Food U2
Struvite stones are formations of minerals that combine to form crystals and stones. These deposits can collect in the bladder and urethra, blocking urination and causing severe discomfort. Complete urethral blockage can be life-threatening.
VETERINARY HPM® Urology Cat Food U2 is a complete dry cat food that helps dissolve existing struvite stones and prevents new struvite and oxalate crystals from forming.
Key Benefits
- High-quality protein content (44%) stimulates cats to drink more and increases urine volume.
- Low struvite RSS (<1) helps dissolve and prevent bladder stones.
- Balances urine pH to limit both struvite and oxalate crystal formation.
- High omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) help reduce urinary tract inflammation.
- Limited calcium and phosphorus intake lowers the risk of future stone formation.
- Low in carbohydrates (23%), calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.
