Virbac Veterinary HPM Urinary WIB is a clinical complete dry cat food formulated to help reduce struvite stone recurrence, limit oxalate stone formation, and support the management of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC). With its increased protein and sodium content, it encourages cats to drink more water, increasing urine volume and frequency to help dilute urine. Includes a Behaviour Plus Complex with dried green tea concentrate — a natural source of L-theanine, shown to help cats cope with stress, an important factor in FIC management. High levels of omega-3 (EPA + DHA) from fish oil help limit lower urinary tract inflammation. Free from common food allergens including dairy, lamb, fish, egg, wheat, maize, soya, and gluten. No artificial colours or flavours. Not suitable for cats with chronic kidney disease or cardiac insufficiency. Do not use in kittens, junior cats, or pregnant/lactating cats. This is a veterinary exclusive formula — always follow your veterinarian's nutritional recommendations.
Transition gradually over 7 days when switching diets. Follow the feeding guidelines on the package based on body weight. Always ensure fresh water is available. Available in 1.5 kg and 3 kg.
