About Hills Canine C/D Tins (12 x 370g)

Hill's Prescription Diet C/D was formulated specifically to provide nutritional management of dogs with struvite-related urinary tract disease.

When your dog has a urinary condition, its even more important to feed the right food. Bladder stones also known as uroliths, are collections of mineral crystals that occur in a dog's urinary bladder. The most common type is composed of the mineral struvite, which has magnesium, ammonium and phosphate components.

The formation of bladder stones is related in part to changes in the acidity (pH value) of the urine. Stones grow in size over time and if untreated, they may cause irritation and/or partially or completely block the passage of urine.

There are several factors that influencing the likelihood of a dog developing bladder stones including Urinary Tract Infection, diet high levels of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium promote the formation of certain types of crystals. Certain breeds like the Miniture Schnauzer, Dalmation, Yorkshire Terrier and Bulldogs are more prone to develop particular types of bladder stones.
