Hill's Prescription Diet Canine u/d Urinary Care
Hills u/d wet dog food is a complete veterinary dietetic wet food specially formulated for adult dogs to help reduce urate and cystine stone formation. This clinically proven recipe features reduced purine, protein and sodium levels with urine-alkalising properties that create an unfavorable environment for crystal formation, helping to prevent painful bladder stones from returning.
Dogs need the right balance of minerals to maintain healthy bladder function. When minerals become excessive in the urine, they can form crystals that develop into uncomfortable bladder stones. If your dog shows signs like frequent urination, straining to urinate, blood in the urine, or discomfort, they may be suffering from urinary issues. This best dog food for urinary health works by controlling the building blocks of stones and promoting optimal urine pH to keep your dog's urinary system healthy.

Understanding Urinary Stones in Dogs
Bladder stones form when minerals in your dog's urine crystallize and clump together. Urate stones are caused by high levels of uric acid, often seen in certain breeds or dogs with liver issues. Cystine stones form from an amino acid called cystine and are more common in some breeds due to genetics. Both types cause pain, difficulty urinating, and can lead to serious complications if untreated. This Hills ud dog food addresses the root causes by controlling the minerals and proteins that contribute to stone formation.
