Uri-Balance Urinary Acidifier for Dogs and Cats - 120g Tube
Uri-Balance (formally Methigel) supports good urinary tract health when dietary changes are imprac...Uri-Balance (formally Methigel) supports good urinary tract health when dietary changes are impractical, as with multiple cat households or refusal by finicky eaters. It's specially formulated to appeal to cats in an easy-to-administer gel. The gel formulation assures more accurate amounts than conventional tablets, and the convenient tube size allows economic dispensing. Many types of bacteria require a stable and relatively neutral pH level in order to survive. Thus, when you lower the pH in your pet's urine, many bacteria are killed as they can no longer thrive as the urine flows normally through your cat's urinary tract. This normal cleansing naturally eliminates the bacteria and the infection without having to resort to specific antibacterial drugs, Uri-Balance provides a natural solution to the acidic imbalances returning normal bladder and urinary tract function.
This guide provides essential information for pet owners using Uri-Balance (formerly Methigel) to support urinary tract health in their dogs and cats. It's especially useful for situations where dietary changes aren't feasible. A key benefit is its easy-to-administer gel form, ensuring accurate dosing. However, it's important to consult with your veterinarian for proper use and dosage.
