Product Information

Your cat may prefer eating and drinking from glass or ceramic bowls because plastic ones can have an unpleasant smell and taste, and metal bowls make a noise. 3. Multiple drinking bowls Keep litter trays, and food and water bowls are out of the line of sight of other cats - remember that neighbourhood cats may be visible outside a glass door or window. Although they might have always done this, cats who are feeling under the weather may take issue to things that they have previously tolerated. 10. Supplements Proanthocyanidins are naturally occurring powerful antioxidants extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs have an anti-adhesion affect, this means they help to reduce the ability of certain bacteria to attach to the bladder lining. Dogs are examined in a free consultation at Animal Trust where the vet will carry out a physical examination to detect a fever, painful or enlarged bladder or kidneys. Following this, urinalysis is carried out by testing a fresh urine sample for acidity, blood, infection, sugar, concentration and crystals. A urine culture test may also be carried out if bacteria are found in the sample or when an animal experiences recurrent/on-going cystitis.

Please note that parcels weighing over 2kg may be sent via courier due to Royal Mail weight restrictions. Mannan-oligosaccharide - Created from purified yeast cell walls, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), binds E.coli and upregulates the innate immune system by attracting phagocytes to opsonise the bacteria. MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora Competition for nutrients– within the gut beneficial and pathogenic micro-organisms will be utilising the same types of nutrients. This results in a general competition between bacteria for these nutrients. When a probiotic is administered there is an overall reduction in nutrients available for pathogenic bacteria and consequently this minimises the levels of pathogenic micro-organisms. Once any dog has developed struvite stones, it is considered at high risk of a recurrence. Water is considered an important if not the most important nutrient in avoiding this. 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.FLUTD typically affects middle-aged, overweight cats who get little exercise, use an indoor litter box, and eat a dry diet. Multi-cat households, emotional and environmental stress, and abrupt changes in routine increase the risk of FLUTD. Note that cats with a urethral obstruction may show similar signs; these cases are an acute emergency.

As your cat ages, they may feel more vulnerable toileting outdoors, and may prefer not to be exposed to potential threads. The indoor environment may make them feel safer and may also help owners to detect urine abnormalities, such as an increased frequency of urination or blood in the urine. Step-free access to the litter tray may also make it more accessible. 9. Stress Safety– the micro-organism chosen must be non-pathogenic and non-toxic. Within the EU all probiotics must be registered for use in an individual animal species. For example, Enterococcus faecium (NCIMB 10415) E1707 is registered for use in dogs.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.
