Grain-Free Dietary Food for Cats with Struvite Uroliths and Feline Idiopathic Cystitis
Fit-aroma MONGE VETSOLUTION FELINE URINARY STRUVITE contains cranberry extract. Although sterile struvites are the most common type in adult cats, only about one-third (28.6%) of cats diagnosed with urolithiasis exhibit significant bacteriuria. Escherichia coli is the most common bacteria found in half or one-third of infections. Struvite uroliths can be dissolved by acidifying urine, increasing urine volume, and feeding low magnesium and phosphorus diets, although urine acidifiers do not protect against bacterial urinary infections.
Fit-aroma MONGE VETSOLUTION FELINE URINARY STRUVITE contains cranberry extract, rich in proanthocyanidins (PACs). PACs block adhesins (virulent factors involved in bacterial attachment to urinary tract epithelial cells) due to their unique molecular structure. They act on various adhesin types, inhibiting them (MR and MS adhesins) on hair-like fimbriae protruding from the bacterial surface.
Fructose inhibits MS fimbrial adhesins, while a high molecular weight inhibitor neutralizes MS adhesins, protecting the bladder from colonization. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins can protect struvite medium from peroxidative damage, restoring intracellular antioxidant enzyme activity, supporting SOD effectiveness. The average dissolution time is 8 weeks for infection-induced struvites and 2 to 4 weeks for sterile struvites.
INDICATIONS:
- Struvite uroliths
- Feline idiopathic cystitis (painful bladder syndrome, interstitial cystitis)
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
- Oxalate uroliths
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
- Growth
PROTEINS:
The protein-to-kilocalorie ratio (protein/kcal 90) is optimal to avoid weight gain, which can exacerbate the recurrence of struvites.
FATS:
MONGE VETSOLUTION FELINE URINARY STRUVITE has an appropriate protein and fat content to reduce the formation of MAP (magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate) uroliths.
MINERALS:
The diet is low in magnesium to limit crystal formation and protect against recurrence of uroliths.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Can be fed dry or moistened with warm water. Daily doses may vary depending on the cat's specific needs. Ensure your cat has constant access to clean, fresh drinking water. Store in a cool, dry place.

The recommended daily dose in grams can be provided continuously or given in at least two meals. Consistent food availability encourages cats to increase meal frequency, thus reducing postprandial alkaline response and the risk of struvite crystal formation.
