    *The rationing is offered in accordance with the dog’s healthy weight. For obesity, the diet must be prescribed in accordance with the ideal weight and not the real weight of the dog.

    **Dividing the daily amount over two or three meals is recommended to limit the postprandial alkaline tide.

    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
