Additional Info:
Helps dissolve struvite stones and reduce risk of calcium oxalate crystals
Helps to break the cycle of 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 bacterial infection.
Note: Urine pH values of individual dogs may vary significantly throughout the day and be affected by several non-dietary factors.
S+OXSHIELD: Formulated to promote a urinary environment that reduces the risk of developing struvite & calcium oxalate crystals
