Indication
PRO-VET® Renal/Oxalate complete and balanced specialized moist diet food for adult dogs of all breeds with a chronic kidney disease or with a pathogenesis of calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation (when urine is over-saturated with calcium and oxalate crystals); reduces oxalate stone formation, as well as the risk of a recurrence.

The progression of CRF can be diminished and thus survival of the patient be extended, but the condition cannot be healed. There is now a strong evidence that appropriate dietary management will enhance survival of cats with CRF. Phosphorus restriction leads to retardation of the loss of kidney function (Beynen, 2006). Apart from phosphorus restriction, the characteristics of a dietetic food for feline kidney patients are protein restriction, low sodium content, high potassium content, a moderately basic urinary pH and a high level of eicosapentaenoic acid. Clearly, restriction of essential nutrients may not cause a deficiency and the nutrient supply should be sufficient to allow normal body functionss.
An appropriate renal diet can only delay the progression of the loss of nephrons and increase survival time. Among commercially available renal diets for cats there are great differences in efficacy. The anticipated efficacy of PRO-VET® RRenal/Oxalate, which is based on its ideal composition, may be equivalent to an average survival time after diagnosis of about 30 months. It is likely, that PRO-VET® Renal/Oxalate will be very effective in reducing the risk of development of CRF by healthy cats. The risk on chronic renal failure CRF has diminished by extra vitamin E, high EPA-level and particular low level of phosphorus.
Efficacy
| CHARACTERISTIC | EFFECT |
| Low Phosphorus (P) level | Help to slow down the development of kidney disease as well as the progression of chronic kidney failure. |
| Low Calcium (Ca) Content, low Magnesium (Mg) Content and adjusted Urine pH 6.7 | Work preventive against the formation of calcium oxalate. |
| Low Sodium (Na) Content | Combats the elevation of blood pressure due to renal failure. |
| High Potassium (K) Content | Compensates for the loss of potassium during hypokalemia. |
| Low Protein Content | Decreases the development of oxalate formation. Reduces the accumulation of harmful waste (ammonia and urea) in the blood. |
| High Content of Natural Antioxidants (Vitamin E) | Stimulation of immune function. Improvement of skin condition with atopic dermatitis. Reduces the formation of free radicals, which play a role in the progression of renal failure. |

Feeding guide
Adult dog of medium breed (10-25kg) needs ¾ to 1½ can each day in at least two meals. Adult dog of large breed (25-45kg) needs 1½ to 2⅓ can each day in at least two meals. Adult dog of very large breed (45-70kg) needs 2⅓ to 3¼ can each day in at least two meals. Fresh drinking water should always be available.
For the best result, feed your dog in combination with dry diet food PRO-VET® Renal/Oxalate. Spread the daily portion over several small meals. Recommended duration of use: 5 to 12 weeks for dissolution of struvite stones. For reduction of struvite stone recurrence: up to 6 months. It is recommended that advice from a veterinarian be sought before use and before extending the period of use. Feeding guide is indicative. Once opened, cover the unused content and store in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours. Best served at room temperature. Always provide a sufficient amount of fresh, clean water for your dog.
