FEEDING GUIDE IN GRAMS PER DAY The daily individual requirement may vary depending on factors such as breed, environment, season, activity etc. It is therefore advisable to continue monitoring condition and body weight, adjusting the amount fed accordingly.

£ The increased sodium content promotes that the dog will drink more. This is associated with reduced urinary mineral concentrations and an increased urinary frequency. £ By dividing the daily ration of SPECIFIC TM CCD Struvite Management into 3 or 4 meals, any postprandial increase of urinary pH is minimised. £ Struvite urolithiasis in the dog is often associated with urinary tract infections. When a urinary tract infection is present, SPECIFIC TM CCD Struvite Management will only be efficacious if this is treated. £ Struvite urolithiasis is only one type of urolithiasis which may occur in dogs. Identification of the type of urolith present in an affected patient is essential because different types of uroliths may require different dietary strategies (see the Managing Urolithiasis chart under Technical information on SPECIFIC ™ ).

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR

£ Urolithiasis due to calcium oxalate, ammonium urate or cystine £ Simultaneous administration of urinary acidifiers £ Metabolic acidosis £ Dogs with hyperlipidaemia or pancreatitis £ Puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches
