Product Information
Full details
Calibra VD Urinary Care Semi-Moist Dog Snacks are designed for dog owners whose pets require specific lower urinary tract management, particularly those prone to struvite stones or pets that have been sterilized. These snacks provide a safe, palatable way to offer rewards without disrupting a therapeutic veterinary diet. A crucial caveat is that these snacks are strictly unsuitable for dogs diagnosed with oxalate, urate, or cystine urinary conditions, as their specific mineral profile is not designed for these requirements.

FAQs
Can any dog eat these snacks?
No. These are specifically for dogs managing struvite stones or sterilized dogs. Do not feed to dogs with oxalate, urate, or cystine conditions.
How many treats can I give per day?
Consult your veterinarian regarding the exact portion, as treats should only make up a small fraction of your dog's total daily caloric intake.
Do these snacks replace a prescription diet?
No, these are supplementary snacks only and should not replace your dog's prescribed therapeutic food.
Are these treats grain-free?
The formulation focuses on urinary pH management; please check the specific packaging label for the most accurate ingredient breakdown regarding grains.
How should I store them?
Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent the treats from drying out or losing their freshness.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the treat
Ensure the product is within its shelf life; if it remains fresh, try breaking it into smaller pieces to entice interest.
Dog develops gastrointestinal upset
Discontinue use immediately and check with your veterinarian to ensure the treats do not conflict with the primary therapeutic diet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before introducing these snacks into your dog's diet, consult your veterinarian to ensure they are appropriate for your dog’s specific urinary diagnosis. Store the package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the semi-moist texture. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water throughout the day, as hydration is a critical component of urinary health management. If you notice any change in your dog's urinary habits or behavior after starting the treats, stop feeding them immediately and consult your clinical team.
