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 />
