PRO-VET STRUVITE and PRO-VET RENAL have a similar formula; therefore it is possible to use only PRO-VET RENAL since it executes dual function - against struvite formation and for kidneys...
PRO-VET STRUVITE and PRO-VET RENAL are different products with different effects. The main difference is that PRO-VET STRUVITE induces an acidic urine where as PRO-VET RENAL induces a slightly alkaline urine. To dissolve existing struvite uroliths and to prevent the formation of struvite uroliths, the urinary pH should be between 6,0 and 6.5. Cats with chronic renal insufficiency have an inability to excrete organic anions such as sulphate which has a tendency to cause metabolic acidosis. To counter act this problem, PRO-VET RENAL induces an urinary pH above 6.5. High levels of eicosapentaenoic acid have been shown to retard the progression of chronic renal insufficiency. Thus, PRO-VET RENAL contains more of this polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid than does PRO-VET STRUVITE. Both PRO-VET STRUVITE and RENAL are low in phosphorus and protein. In the case of PRO-VET STRUVITE, these characteristics lower the urinary concentrations of struvite containing components. In addition, PRO-VET STRUVITE is low in magnesium, which also is a struvite component. The low phosphorus content of PRO-VET RENAL slows down the loss of nephrons and the low protein content diminishes the severity of uremia.
Question:PRO-VET STRUVITE is against which struvite forming - alkaline or acidic?
PRO-VET STRUVITE has been developed to dissolve existing struvite uroliths in the urinary bladder and to prevent the formation of struvite crystals. In order to be effective, PRO-VET STRUVITE has low contents of protein, phosphorus and magnesium so that the concentrations of the struvite-containing components in the urine are decreased. These components are ammonium, phosphate and magnesium. Furthermore, the cation-anion balance in PRO-VET STRUVITE has been formulated so that the urinary pH will be about 6.2. At this urinary pH, existing struvite will dissolve and new struvite crystals will not develop. Existing calcium oxalate crystals cannot be dissolved through any dietary treatment. However, PRO-VET STRUVITE will not stimulate the formation of calcium oxalate because it has low contents of calcium and protein. The result is low calcium and oxalate concentrations in the urine. A low protein content implies a low glycine content which is the precursor of oxalate.
Question:they indicate that if we feed cat with food against struvite formation that it will arise another struvites (calcium oxalate)...
The composition of PRO-VET STRUVITE as described above explains that long term feeding of this diet prevents the formation of struvite and at the same time does not enhance the formation of calcium oxalate.
Question:I do not know with what for food to feed my cat, it eats nothing, as soon as it will eat, in 10min. it will through up everything.
Cat has gastritis (inflammation of the walls of stomach) or hyper-allergy, in the first case the products PRO-VET will not help, in the second only PRO-VET HYPERSEN will help.
Question:my dog has an allergy on chicken ...
Dogs can have allergy on chicken protein, but this is very extremely, extremely rarely;
if we feed an animal incorrectly, it is wrong to call reactions appearing from incorrectly feeding - an allergy on chicken.
Question:if we feed an animal incorrectly, it is wrong to call reactions appearing from incorrectly feeding - an allergy on chicken.
corn is an allergic ingredient...
Dog owners think regularly that corn is an ingredient which cause allergic responses. This is however unjust. Literature data indicate correctly that corn seldom or never lead to a food allergy. If you have to do with an exceptional case, then of course corn free food is the solution. Also a diet food based on rice and hydrolysed proteins would satisfy well - such as PRO-VET HYPERSEN. In fact such a diet will work against all allergies which has been based on food proteins.
Question:In what a difference between prebiotics and probiotics ?
Prebiotics are carbohydrates that are poorly digestible in the intestine of the animal, but they act as substrate for beneficial bacteria that are already present. This means that the feeding of prebiotics increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Probiotics are living bacteria that can be added to the food. In this case the beneficial bacteria are ingested directly. Both prebiotics and probiotics will become mixed with the liquid phase of the intestinal contents and can be considered soluble as they do not accumulate in the solid phase of the intestinal contents. In essence, prebiotics and probiotics can have similar effects on the health of the animal.
