Hills Prescription Diet c/d Canine®
For the Nutritional Management of Dogs with Urinary Tract Disease Associated with Struvite.
Urinary tract disease is associated with the build-up of crystals and stones in the urinary tract that can cause painful and bloody urination and potential blockage in your dog. One type of crystal that forms in a dog's urinary tract is called struvite. Prescription Diet c/d® is formulated specifically to provide nutritional management of dogs with struvite-related urinary tract disease. Prescription Diet c/d® has reduced levels of magnesium and phosphorus, and also produces an acid urine pH to aid in the management of struvite crystals and stones. The nutritional formulation of Prescription Diet® c/d® may also be useful for pets with a variety of conditions.
Daily Feeding Guide
These ranges are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
Canine c/d® is available in canned and dry form. Supplementation with other foods is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with Canine c/d dry, decrease the amount of canned food to avoid overfeeding.
