Ans: This food is clinically formulated for feline lower urinary tract disease, including feline idiopathic cystitis, struvite urolithiasis, and calcium oxalate urolithiasis, with added stress management.

Ans: Both formulas share the same therapeutic foundation including S+OXSHIELD, L-Tryptophan, Dried Hydrolyzed Casein, and omega-3 fatty acids, delivering the same 89% reduction in urinary recurrence. The difference is the protein source and grain base. The choice between them comes down to your cat's flavor preference.

Q3: How quickly does this food dissolve struvite stones in cats?

Ans: It supports the breakdown of struvite stones in cats, with results seen in as few as 7 days and averaging 27 days. Since response varies, your veterinarian will use urinalysis and imaging to assess treatment success.
