Additional Info:

Helps dissolve struvite stones and reduces risk of calcium oxalate crystals
Reduce inflammation associated with UTI and stones
Common urinary bacteria can cleave urea, increasing urinary ammonia levels and urinary pH, thus predisposing to struvite formation. Monitoring urinalysis is recommended. An elevated urine pH may indicate a recurrent bacterial infection.
Note: Urine pH of individual dogs may vary due to complicating factors such as time of feeding before urine collection, type of urine collection, individual animal variation, and test methodology
