Feline c/d®

For the Nutritional Management of Cats with Struvite Related Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). FLUTD is a condition often associated with the formation of crystals in the urinary tract that can cause numerous painful symptoms for your cat. The two most common types of crystals that form in the cat's urinary tract: struvite and oxalate. Prescription Diet® Feline c/d is formulated to provide nutritional management of cats with struvite-related FLUTD. Prescription Diet c/d contains reduced building blocks of struvite and produces an acid urine pH, lowering the chance that struvite crystals will form. 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. 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 c/d is available in canned and dry. Supplementation with other foods is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with Feline c/d canned, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
