Farmina Vet Life Urinary St Control Canine

Description

Farmina Vet Life Urinary ST Control Canine Dog Food supports dogs who develop struvite uroliths. It may help to prevent those stones from forming and may help to dissolve existing stones. The food features reduced fiber, so it’s easier for your dog to digest. That reduced fiber also helps to limit fecal water loss. Consider feeding this diet to help dissolve stones, then follow up with the Farmina Vet Life Urinary ST Management diet (sold separately) to prevent your pup from forming them again.
