Description
Some people think that kidney stones in cats and dogs and bladder stones are the same, but they aren't! Kidney stones are hardened mineral deposits that form in the kidneys whereas bladder stones form in the bladder. However, it is possible for small kidney stones to travel down to the bladder and become bladder stones. So to help prevent kidney stones and promote urinary health, Tripsy and Milk Thistle work together to strengthen the liver and kidneys, soothe inflammation, and encourage gentle urine flow to keep things moving.
Common Symptoms for Urinary Tract Disorders:
- Frequent urination
- Increased water intake
- Low appetite
- Weight changes
- Depression/low energy
- Sores in the mouth
- Loose stool/diarrhea
- Vomiting
How NHV Supplements Ease Kidney Stones in Cats and Dogs
Kidney stones and urinary crystals may be a source of depression for your sweet furkiddo. The diuretic and antimicrobial properties in Tripsy gently increase urine flow to help reduce mineral deposits and help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Ingredients like stone root, wild hydrangea, and gravel root have a long history of being used to help to prevent and break down kidney stones and crystals and relieve discomfort. Milk Thistle adds antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to help encourage cell regeneration, promote healthy liver and kidney function, and promote gentle detoxification.
