Great product! My Havanese had his 6 month follow-up today after having surgery to remove stones. The xray & the urinalysis were still clear! Thanks for making this great product available! 04/02/2013
Surgery avoided! My 10 year old bichon had one surgery for bladder stones and had more stones form and was headed for surgery #2. I started her on your product and 3 months later the stones were gone and surgery was avoided. Thank you for your product. She will stay on your product for the rest of her life. 11/19/2012
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My Havanese had to have surgery for stone removal. The first urinalysis after the surgery showed his PH level still off & crystals forming that cause the stones to form. I added the Potassium Citrate (based on the reviews I read) to the food reccomended by my vet & by the second urinalysis less than 2 weeks later his PH level was normal & there was no indication of crystals forming! Thanks for your great product & great service! 10/15/2012
Excellent product Due to food allergies, my Aussie can't eat the low-protein Rx diet that my vet recommended when he developed his calcium citrate stones. Finally switched to a grain free refrigerated food and use the potassium citrate with it. He has had no recurrence of the stones and all urine tests come back clear (even after 2 yrs). Dog doesn't mind the flavor or "feel" of the powder at all. 09/16/2012
Excellent Preventive Care My three year old cat Dennis has had an urinary tract infection one time for the past two years. I have tried specialty food to maintain a healthy urinary tract system to no avail. The cost of a vet visit to cure the infection was at least $200.00. So after his last visit to the vet I decided to try to search for a preventive supplement. I purchased this product on a whim after reading the reviews and used it once a week in his wet cat food. Dennis is a picky eater but he ate his food with no hesitation. I use it now once a week as preventive care and he has had no problems. 05/31/2012

I need to know if this product can be added to Fancy Feast canned food and to Purina Sensitive Systems dry food instead of purchasing prescription food that is too expensive as my vet is recommending.

Answer: 
Potassium Citrate may help decrease the formation of calcium oxalate stones. Not all urinary crystals are composed of this type of stone. Do not use this product without consulting your veterinarian.

Crystals in urine

Is there a supplement for this or do I truly need to start feeding my cat a prescription diet?

Answer: 
My dog takes 1080mg of Potassium citrate every 12 hours, and Royal Canin, Low Purine And since there is no medical treatment available I do whatever I have too.
Lucy, whom has lost one kidey already(only because no one know what was up, even the vets) get 1080 mg of PC every 12 hrs (0700-1900hrs) with her meals mixed with water. I also use Dip Sticks to let me know when her urine Ph is 7.5. It's a struggle of love. Then at 1000 & 2000 hrs she get s200mg Thiola on empty stomach. It get expensive, bu she's family. there are research DVM' at UPENN that studt this, but can provide little help, but they do have some valuable info.
