Diseases of the urinary organs in cats are summarized under the term FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease).

MERAVITAL URINARY is a high premium diet dry food developed by veterinarians and nutritionists that acidifies your cat's urine and thus promotes the dissolution of struvite stones. Since calcium and magnesium are the main components of urinary stones, MERAVITAL URINARY has an undersaturated - but naturally needs-covering - content in order to avoid the formation of crystals. Your cat's water intake is stimulated, which means that the minerals in the diluted urine can no longer combine so easily. In addition, the urinary tract is flushed regularly, which eliminates germs and possible “urinary stone building blocks”. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate can strengthen the epithelial cells of the bladder lining, which are often damaged in cystitis and allow pathogens to adhere.

Veterinarian Advice:

Frequent urination, pain and apathy can also be signs of other serious illnesses such as kidney problems and diabetes.
Therefore, have your cat examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible in order to be able to treat it promptly and specifically.

Our tips for using URINARY dry food:

• You can also combine MERAVITAL URINARY dry food with MERAVITAL URINARY wet food.
• Please ensure your cat has access to fresh water at all times.
• If your cat does not drink enough despite MERAVITAL URINARY dry food, we recommend feeding it MERAVITAL URINARY wet food. This has the advantage that through the Feed intake at the same time a large proportion of water is absorbed.
• Make sure that your cat only eats MERAVITAL URINARY - if you have several cats, they must be separated when feeding or - if there is no contraindication - all cats eat MERAVITAL URINARY.
• There are now microchip-controlled automatic feeders, such as the "Sure Feed", which only open when the microchip carrier is present and can thus ensure that the sick animals cannot get at the food of the housemates
