Bladder Health<br />
Bladder stones are collections of mineral crystals that combine together in the urinary tract.<br />
They can cause discomfort and lead to more serious problems that require the care of a<br />
veterinarian.<br />
Because the food your cat eats plays an important role in his or her overall health and wellbeing,<br />
<strong>Hill's</strong> nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially<br />
formulated to help support your cat's bladder health.<br />
Cats need the right balance of minerals to maintain good bladder health. Excess minerals can encourage the formation of crystals<br />
in the urine, which may lead to the creation of bladder stones.<br />
Key Benefits<br />
Prescription Diet® c/<strong>d®</strong> <strong>Multicare</strong> <strong>Feline</strong> is formulated with the following benefits:<br />
Controlled levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and oxalate to help limit the building blocks of crystals and<br />
bladder stones<br />
Rich in fish oil - an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids - to help promote healthy skin and a shiny coat<br />
Added potassium citrate to help interrupt bladder stone formation<br />
Increased levels of vitamin B6 to help decrease oxalate formation<br />
Low sodium to maintain normal blood pressure<br />
High in antioxidants (Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene) to control cell oxidation and promote a healthy immune system<br />

When Gabby had a bladder stone, I was afraid she would need surgery to remove it. I was relieved when my veterinarian<br />
explained there was another choice.

My cat George had been on Prescription Diet® c/<strong>d®</strong> <strong>Multicare</strong> <strong>Feline</strong> for FLUTD once before, and when he was doing<br />
better I went back to his regular grocery store pet food. I didn't make that mistake after his second FLUTD episode - I<br />
kept him in c/<strong>d®</strong> <strong>Multicare</strong> <strong>Feline</strong> this time. I really believe in it because I've seen the difference it can make.<br />
