Veterinary Analysis of Light Food for Adult Cats: SPECIFIC Feline FCD-L Crystal Management 400g

SPECIFIC Feline FCD-L Crystal Management Light 400g is a dry diet formulated by veterinarians for adult cats predisposed to lower urinary tract disease (LUUTD) and overweight. Its clinically balanced composition addresses two key areas: the prevention of uroliths (struvite and calcium oxalate) and weight management in neutered or sedentary cats. This food meets the nutritional requirements defined by FEDIAF and is suitable as a daily diet under veterinary supervision.

Analytical Composition and Actives

The SPECIFIC FCD-L formula is based on highly digestible ingredients and functional actives that allow you to maintain muscle mass while reducing caloric intake:

• Crude protein: 34,0 %

• Crude fiber: 6,5 %
• Crude ash: 6,7 %
• Calcium: 0,80 %
• Match: 0,65 %

It contains DL-methionine to acidify the urine (target pH 6.0-6.4), reducing crystal formation.
