Feeding Duration:
When a food allergy or a food intolerance is suspected, the dog’s diet should be changed without any food transition. The hypoallergenic nutritional management will be continued for the pet’s lifetime.
Soy protein hydrolisate, which is composed of low molecular weight peptides, is highly digestible and of very low allergenicity.
Undersaturated urine is an environment where crystals cannot proliferate. Thus the urine is unfavourable to the development of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Very high amounts of biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid, in combination with the linc-linoleic acid complex, reduce water losses through the skin and strengthen the barrier effect of the skin.
Sodium polyphosphate binds salivary calcium, making it unavailable for tartar formation.
Urolithiasis represent 18% of lower urinary tract diseases in dogs. They mainly consist in struvite and calcium oxalate calculus. Small breeds dogs are particularly prone to them: they are responsible for 60 % of analysed uroliths. The predisposition of small breeds to uroliths may be linked to:
- a smaller urinary volume
- less regular urination
- a higher concentration of minerals in urine
Recommended daily quantities (g/day):
Water should be available at all times
