• Bacterial cystitis.
• Dissolution of struvite uroliths.
• Management of recurrent struvite and calcium oxalate urolithiasis.
In older dogs, renal function should be checked before Urinary S/O Small Dog is prescribed.
URINARY S/O SMALL DOG under 10kg is a complete dietetic feed for small breed adult DOGS formulated to dissolve struvite stones and reduce their recurrence through its urine acidifying properties, a low level of magnesium and a restricted level of high quality protein.

5 to 12 weeks of dietary treatment are required to dissolve uroliths. If a urinary tract infection is present, Urinary S/O Small Dog, combined with an antibacterial agent, should be prescribed for at least one month after a negative urine culture result is obtained.
Urinary S/O Small Dog effectively dissolves struvite uroliths
Undersaturated urine is an environment where crystals cannot proliferate. Thus the urine is unfavourable to the development of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Diluting urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvites and calcium oxalates. The larger urinary volume also ensures regular bladder wash-out.
Sodium polyphosphate binds salivary calcium, making it unavailable for tartar formation.
Further Information
Small breed dogs produce more concentrated urine than larger dogs even if they are fed on the same diet, thus they are especially prone to urolithiasis. In fact, 50% of all stones analysed in reference laboratories worldwide come from small breed dogs.
