Hill's PRESCRIPTION DIET
u/d Dog Food
For the Nutritional Management of Dogs with Urate or Cystine Urolithiasis (stones in the urinary tract, most often urinary bladder) associated with a variety of signs including frequent urination, blood in the urine, straining to urinate, and a painful abdomen. Certain stone types may initially be managed by physical removal (often via surgery) and then followed with proper nutrition to help decrease the risk of stone recurrence.
Prescription Diet u/d Wet Dog Food was developed to aid in the management of dogs with the problems associated with urate and cystine urolithiasis. Controlled amounts of protein, decreased purine intake and uric acid excretion, and the target urine pH (alkaline) lowers the risk of forming urate crystals and uroliths.
