Key Points
- Acid urinary pH to effectively combat struvite stones by limiting the availability of phosphate ions. An acid pH is also unfavorable to bacterial growth
- Low magnesium content to limit the presence of struvite stone precursors (or magnesium ammonium phosphate)
- High water content: a moist food is a natural urine diluter
