Description
CitraVet Potassium Citrate is a liver-flavored chewable tablet recommended for dogs and cats that are prone to recurring urinary stones (calcium oxalate stones) or low urine pH levels. It supports urinary health and can be used as an aid in the management of urinary tract disorders. CitraVet is available as double-scored chewable tablets and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
Key Benefits

How It Works
CitraVet contains potassium citrate to increase the urine alkalinity, which helps maintain and manage a healthy urine pH. CitraVet increases citrate levels in the bladder causing the calcium in the bladder to bind to the citrate instead of the oxalate, which prevents the formation of calcium oxalate stones (urinary stones).

- Use only under the close supervision of a veterinarian.
- Can be given as a chewable tablet or crumbled over food.
- Chewable tablets are double-scored for easier administration.
- The recommended dose is 1 tablet per 22 lbs, 1/2 tablet per 11 lbs, and 1/4 tablet per 5 lbs every 12 hours or as prescribed by your veterinarian.

This product was out of stock from the manufacturer for quite a while. When it was finally in stock, it was shipped promptly. Our cat has had two surgeries for calcium oxalate crystals which were long, horrible and painful procedures -- as well as very costly. We worked with several vets to come up with a solution to prevent the crystals. There is no magic pill but we were told to give him CitraVet. We did the research and agreed that it sounded like a viable solution. So far he is doing well. Regular blood work and urine checks show no crystals forming in his bladder. We will continue to use the CitraVet as long as he is healthy. I use a mortar and pestle to grind the tablet into a fine dust and mix it into our cat's food throughout the day.
