Urinary S/O Canine effectively dissolves struvite uroliths. In addition, an acidic urinary pH is unfavourable to the development of bacteria, which are frequently associated with struvite uroliths.

Diluting urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvites and calcium oxalate crystals. Greater urinary volumes also ensures regular bladder wash-out.

Undersaturated urine is an environment where crystals cannot proliferate. Thus the urine is unfavourable to the development of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.

Low magnesium: Magnesium is a component of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate uroliths.

Urinary S/O Canine is the first-line diet of choice prior to crystal identification. It is particularly important to ensure that Urinary S/O Canine is the dog s only food source, as access to other foods may influence urinary composition. In some cases, uroliths must be surgically removed.
