Urinary health is one of the most crucial aspects of pet care, yet it often flies under the radar. Struvite crystals, in particular, can cause serious issues in dogs, ranging from discomfort to life-threatening blockages. Fortunately, managing and preventing these painful crystals is possible through a targeted diet, with products like Calibra Dog Veterinary Diet Urinary providing a scientifically formulated solution.
Let’s explore how Calibra Pet Food, available through Eurovets, can help manage struvite crystals in dogs, ensuring healthier urinary tracts and better overall well-being.
Understanding Struvite Crystals in Dogs
Struvite crystals are a type of mineral deposit made from magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate. These crystals can combine to form struvite stones, which may cause irritation, infection, or even block the urinary tract. They typically develop when a dog’s urine becomes too alkaline, often due to poor diet, diseases, or other underlying conditions.
If left untreated, struvite crystals can lead to bladder stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or worse, blockages that may require emergency surgery. The statistics are eye-opening— 14% of all dogs are likely to develop some form of urinary stone disease in their lifetime. Struvite stones are the most common in canine dietary management.
The First Line of Defense.
Managing struvite crystals often starts with dietary adjustments. A carefully selected diet can help reduce the pH of your dog’s urine, dissolve existing crystals, and prevent the formation of new ones. Calibra Dog Veterinary Diet Urinary is specifically designed for this purpose. It offers a low-magnesium, balanced formula that targets the reduction of alkaline urine, effectively lowering the risk of crystal formation.
Incorporating Calibra Pet Food into your dog’s daily routine supports their urinary health and provides balanced nutrition essential for overall wellness.
