What makes urinary care food special?

Hi there! It’s great that you’re curious about your pet’s nutrition, especially when it comes to urinary health. Urinary care food is specially formulated to support your pet’s urinary tract system. It usually works by controlling the mineral levels in your pet's diet—like magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium—because excessive amounts can lead to the formation of crystals and stones in the bladder.



Another key feature is that these foods often help control the pH level of your pet’s urine. An optimal pH prevents the formation of certain types of stones that can cause discomfort or more serious health issues. Some formulas also promote increased water intake, which dilutes urine and helps flush out harmful toxins.



While you’re at home, make sure your pet always has access to plenty of fresh water. Watch for signs that could indicate a urinary problem, like straining to urinate, frequent urination, or blood in the urine. If you notice these, it’s crucial to consult with a vet as they could indicate a more serious issue.



I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can discuss your pet’s specific needs and determine if a urinary care diet is right for them. Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend stay healthy!
