Feline s/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Cats with Struvite Related Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). FLUTD is a problem often involving the formation of mineral-based crystals and stones in your cat’s urinary tract that can cause a variety of painful symptoms, including obstruction. Struvite and oxalate are the two most common crystals that form in a cat’s urinary tract. Prescription Diet® s/d® is formulated by veterinarians to help dissolve struvite crystals and stones in your cat. Prescripton Diet s/d has low levels of magnesium and produces an acid urine pH to aid in the management of struvite crystals and stones. The nutritional formulation of Prescription Diet® s/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. Keep fresh water available at all times! 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. Feline s/d® is available in canned & dry. Supplementation with other foods is unecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with Feline s/d canned, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
