Product Information

Large shallow bowls enable your cat to look around them when they are eating and drinking. Many cats also do not like their whiskers touching the sides of the bowl. A saucer is perfect as a food bowl; it allows access from any angle. It is also useful as a water but may be easier to spill when being filled! 6. Water sources Your vet may have recommended a prescription diet. Cats with urinary issues often benefit from a diet that keeps the urine at a specific pH. The aim is to stop crystal or stone formation within the bladder or kidneys. Examples include: Royal Canin Urinary, Hills c/d or Purina Proplan UR. Cats with kidney disease also benefit from a diet that is low in protein and phosphorous. Examples include: Royal Canin Renal, Hills k/d or Purina Proplan NF. Make dietary changes slowly.

The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (NCIMB 10415) E1707 acts to reduce pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum. You can prevent a dog UTI once the cause of a dog’s urinary infection is known, and your veterinary surgeon can make a long term plan to prevent cystitis from returning. There are also some more simple steps you can follow and build into your dogs daily routine. These include: Urethral sphincter medications. Medication to help hormonally ‘tighten’ the muscles inside the dog’s urethra that helps to control the exit of urine. This method is suitable for dogs who are experiencing urinary incontinence and have had other causes ruled out first.Cats have developed certain preferences over the years and some can have dietary preferences! Encourage them to eat by warming their wet food, which can lose its tasty aroma when kept in the fridge; room temperature may be sufficient. Give your cat some peace and quiet at dinner time as they often prefer to eat alone. Ensure their bowls are cleaned after each use and do not smell strongly of detergent. Control of any underlying disease. This may be long term medication for conditions such as Cushing’s disease and diabetes to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Prostate disease may be controlled by chemical or surgical castration. Bladder tumours can be medicated to slow their rate of growth. N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells.

Struvite crystals are the most common type of canine urinary tract crystals. Dog struvite stones or crystals are frequently associated with dogs who suffer from urinary tract infections and result from bacteria and mineral deposits that accumulate in the urinary tract. As already mentioned, struvite stones are generally caused by urinary tract infections. They can invariably be treated without surgery and normally without dietary adjustment. Proanthocyanidins (Type A PACs) - a naturally occurring powerful antioxidant extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs reduce the ability of certain bacteria attaching to the bladder lining. Normal healthy bladders have a layer of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) coating them. This layer protects the bladder from direct exposure to urine. Urine activates sensory nerve fibres which the brain perceives as uncomfortable.Cystophan helps to support and preserve the protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer of the bladder. It also contains L-tryptophan which is used in the brain to make serotonin, the happy hormone. IngredientsCystoPro contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries. This active ingredient is a class of antioxidants called Proanthocyanidins (PACs). CystoPro also contains probiotics, prebiotics and N-acetyl D-glucosamine. The EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/ NCIMB 10415) 4b1707 du pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract and the faeces, thereby limiting bacterial colonisation of the perineum. CystoPro contains Proanthocyanidinsnc, a naturally occurring powerful antioxidant extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs have an anti-adhesion effect, which means they help re-attach to the bladder lining.
