Properties
STIEN Pet Line contains Methionine and Ammonium chloride, substances with urinary acidifying action; the association of these two substances allows to enhance the activity of the individual components and simultaneously reduce the amount necessary to obtain the desired pH.
STIEN Pet Line is therefore indicated as an acidifier of the urine in case of urinary lithiasis caused by stones of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate), both for the dissolution of stones and for the reduction of relapses.
In cats, struvite stones are one of the main causes of FLUTD (Feline Low Urinary Tract Disease).
This condition is very common and frequent, especially in males and overweight subjects.
In dogs, urolithiasis is a serious problem; the formation of uroliths is mostly due to urinary tract infection.
STIEN Pet Line acts by lowering the pH of the urine, creating an unfavorable environment for the precipitation of alkaline salts and favoring the dissolution of already formed stones.
To better modulate the administration, while taking STIEN Pet Line it is suggested to periodically perform a complete urine test or in any case the pH control.
The urine pH values ​​must be lower than 6.7 , preferably between 6.0 - 6.5.
Since the pH of the urine increases considerably in cats and dogs after meals, it is advisable to administer STIEN Pet Line during or immediately after meals to avoid excessive increases in pH which favor the formation of struvite precipitates.
STIEN Pet Line can be administered with any type of diet and any type of feed and allows not to modify the diet of the animal.
It is normal that during theperiod of administration the animal is more thirsty: always leave water available at will; the greater amount of water taken determines a dilution of the urine which helps to discourage the formation of struvite stones.
STIEN Pet Line for cats and small dogs is formulated in highly palatable tablets thanks to the presence of chicken proteins high quality; in case of intolerances or allergies to these proteins we recommend the use of STIEN Pet Line for dogs of all sizes (pack of 48 tablets) whose flavorings consist exclusively of protein hydrolysates of porcine origin, non-allergenic (lower average molecular weight a 1000 Dalton), which can be taken by people allergic to animal proteins.
