It reduces the formation and accumulation of non-struvite crystals. Due to the reduced protein quality, this food is also great for dogs with advanced stage renal failure. The copper concentration is lowered so that this diet food can be given to animals with hepatic copper storage disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBladder problems in dogs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common bladder stones are struvite stones. Struvite is made up of the minerals magnesium, ammonium and phosphate. Another frequently occurring bladder stone is calcium oxalate. The following factors can influence the formation of bladder stones:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAcidity (pH) of the urine:\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStruvite occurs in urine with a high pH, also called \"alkaline urine\". Oxalate is created in urine with a low pH, or an \"acidic urine\". Factors which affect the acidity of the urine may contribute to the formation of bladder stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMineral composition of the urine:\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystals are formed by various minerals. The concentration of these minerals in the urine is directly influenced by the composition of the diet. Low magnesium levels in the diet help reduce recurring struvite stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNot suitable for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis diet food is not suitable for: cats, puppies, pregnant or lactating bitches, dogs with struvite crystals or stones, dogs with low albumin or hyperlipidaemia, (increased risk of) pancreatitis, and dogs that have just had surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComposition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHill's u\/d Urinary Care - Dry food\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brewers' rice, maize starch, animal fat, dried whole egg, cellulose, minerals, digest, flaxseed, soybean oil, dried beet pulp, trace elements, L-carnitine,  vitamins, taurine, and beta-carotene.
