The role of dietary management in struvite-related Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases (LUTD) is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to encourage acidification of urine can help reduce the formation of struvite crystals and stones while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Because not all cases of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease are associated with struvite crystals or stones, it is important to conduct appropriate diagnostic tests before implementing dietary management.
