FAQs

Is PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Canine UR suitable for all dogs?

No, this is a specialized veterinary diet intended only for dogs with diagnosed struvite urinary issues, and it must be used under the supervision of a veterinarian.

How long should my dog be on this diet?

The duration of feeding should be determined by your veterinarian based on your dog's specific condition and response to the diet. It is often a long-term management solution.

Can I feed this food with other supplements or medications?

Always consult your veterinarian before combining this diet with any other supplements or medications, especially urinary acidifiers, to avoid potential adverse interactions.

How does this food help with struvite bladder stones?

It promotes an acidic urine pH to dissolve existing struvite stones and prevent new ones. It also contains moderate protein levels to reduce nutrients for stone-forming bacteria.

What should I do if my dog stops drinking water while on this food?

Decreased water intake can affect the diet's effectiveness. Encourage water consumption, and if your dog continues to refuse water, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Can I feed this to my puppy?

This diet is formulated for adult dogs. Consult your veterinarian for appropriate dietary recommendations for puppies with urinary issues.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food.

Introduce gradually over 7-10 days, mix with small amounts of their old food. If refusal persists, consult your vet.

Urinary symptoms (e.g., straining, frequent urination) persist or worsen.

This requires immediate veterinary attention. Contact your vet as soon as possible.

Digestive upset (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea) after starting the food.

Ensure a slow transition. If symptoms are severe or persist, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Transition your dog to PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Canine UR gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of their old food. Always follow the feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian, which will be tailored to your dog's specific needs, weight, and condition.

Compatibility

This veterinary diet is specifically formulated for dogs with struvite urinary issues. It is not suitable for dogs receiving urinary acidifiers concurrently, as this could lead to adverse effects.
