Additional Info:

Helps dissolve struvite stones and reduces risk of struvite and 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 values of individual dogs may vary significantly throughout the day and be affected by several non-dietary factors.
