Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Urinary Cat Dry Food 1.5Kg

Urinary tract problems can affect your cat's comfort and wellbeing, especially when urinary crystals or stones are involved. The right veterinary diet can play an important role in managing these conditions by helping create a urinary environment that is less favourable to certain types of crystals.

Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets UR ST/OX Urinary Chicken is a complete veterinary dry food formulated for the nutritional management of urinary conditions in cats. Its ST/OX urinary security is designed to help reduce the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate crystal formation, while the diet also supports the dissolution of existing struvite stones under veterinary supervision.

Available in a 1.5kg bag, this chicken-flavoured formula provides controlled urinary nutrition with moderate calorie levels for cats requiring ongoing dietary management.

Why Choose Pro Plan Veterinary Diets UR ST/OX?

1. Targeted Nutrition for Urinary Conditions

Urinary crystals and stones can cause discomfort and may require a combination of veterinary treatment, dietary management, and ongoing monitoring.

This veterinary diet is formulated specifically for cats with certain urinary conditions, rather than for general everyday urinary care.

Its nutritional approach helps manage the urinary environment as part of a veterinarian-directed plan.

2. ST/OX Urinary Security

ST/OX is designed to help reduce the risk of formation of two important types of urinary crystals and stones:

• Struvite: A type of mineral crystal that can develop in the urinary tract.
• Calcium Oxalate: Another type of urinary crystal or stone that may occur in cats.

The formula is intended to help reduce the likelihood of these crystals forming under appropriate dietary conditions.

Important: Reducing the risk of stone formation is not a guarantee that stones will never develop or recur.

3. Helps Dissolve Struvite Stones

The supplied product information identifies struvite stone dissolution as a key nutritional purpose of this diet.

Veterinary urinary diets can help support struvite dissolution by influencing urine composition and the conditions in which struvite crystals form.

This benefit applies specifically to struvite stones. Calcium oxalate stones do not dissolve through dietary management and may require other veterinary treatment.

The type of urinary stone should be diagnosed by a veterinarian before selecting a treatment plan.

4. Moderate Calories for Body Condition

Maintaining a suitable body weight is an important part of a cat's overall wellbeing.

This formula is described as having moderate calorie levels, helping support body condition when portions are managed according to veterinary recommendations.

The exact calorie value has not been supplied and should be checked on the current packaging.

5. Complete Nutrition During Veterinary Management

The product information describes this formula as complete and balanced for daily feeding under veterinary guidance.

When prescribed appropriately, it can be used as the main diet during the recommended feeding period.

Avoid adding other foods or treats without checking with your veterinarian, as they may interfere with the intended urinary dietary management.

Who Is This Food Suitable For?

• Nutritional management of struvite urinary stones.
