This is a therapeutic diet, formulated for a specific medical condition under veterinary direction. KibbleLab does not assign it a general wellness score, because a therapeutic diet's nutrient targets are set clinically, not by maintenance standards. Your veterinarian selects the right therapeutic diet for your pet.

Strengths
- Formulated as a complete dietetic urinary food specifically aimed at reducing struvite stone recurrence in dogs under veterinary care.
- Multiple animal protein sources (chicken, hydrolyzed fish, eggs, organ meats, sardine, tuna) provide a good spectrum of amino acids and generally high digestibility.
- Includes beneficial ingredients like fish oil and flaxseed for omega fatty acids, plus prebiotic fructooligosaccharides and yeast ingredients to support gut health.
- Calorie content is clearly stated per can, which makes precise portion control easier when managing weight alongside urinary health.
Considerations
- Contains chicken, egg, and fish, which are common allergens; dogs with known sensitivities to any of these proteins would need a different formula.
- This is a targeted prescription diet meant for dogs with specific urinary issues, so it is not intended as a casual everyday food for healthy dogs without those problems.
- Relatively low protein and fat levels compared with many standard adult diets may not be ideal for very high-activity or working dogs unless your veterinarian recommends it.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

02
Hydrolyzed Fish Protein
Hydrolyzed fish protein is a processed protein ingredient used in pet foods as a highly digestible protein source and flavor enhancer, commonly included in hypoallergenic or elimination diets because enzymatic hydrolysis breaks proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids that are less likely to trigger immune reactions. It provides essential amino acids and can improve palatability, but severely fish‑allergic pets may still react to incompletely hydrolyzed material, and owners should be aware that quality, sodium content, and processing (to limit histamine) can vary between manufacturers.
03
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.

04
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

05
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
