Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Stress Urinary Care Cat Wet Food with Chicken 85 g

Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Stress Cat Food with Chicken is a complete dietetic pet food for reduction of struvite stone recurrence (cause of feline lower urinary tract disease, FLUTD), for dissolution of struvite stones and for reduction of oxalate stones formation in adult cats. This food has urine undersaturating properties for struvite, urine alkalising properties and contains low levels of magnesium, calcium and vitamin D. A healthy bladder starts with the right balance of vital nutrients. Excess minerals can encourage the formation of crystals in the urine, which may lead to the creation of bladder stones. Stress has been shown to negatively impact bladder health as well. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed this nutrition to support a cat's urinary health while also managing stress. In fact, c/d Multicare Stress is clinically tested nutrition to lower the recurrence of most common urinary signs by 89%. This wet food is made with chicken and has an irresistible taste that your cat will love. Made with 100% cage-free eggs or egg derivatives.

Note: Veterinary diet, use on your veterinarian's advice. Transition gradually over 7 days.
