How Scientific Professional Cat Litter works:
The less acidic a cat’s urine, the more susceptible it is to forming stones or crystals in the urinary tract. The most common type of crystals present in the urine are struvites, which form more frequently if pH measures 6.6 or above. Scientific Professional Cat Litter is designed to be an early warning system for elevated pH. The litter color changes to varying shades of pale pink to magenta when the pH in a cat’s urine is above normal. The darker the shade of pink, the more serious the problem may be.
What causes urinary tract diseases?
Because FLUTD is not really a single disease, there can be a number of factors that cause the condition. Urinary tract irritation may be caused by infections, tumors, urethral plugs, uroliths (a pebble or stone), or crystals in the tract. Feline Urolithiasis refers to the formation of stones or crystals of magnesium and ammonium phosphate, called struvites, that form and accumulate in the cat’s bladder. These crystals can block the flow of urine, especially in male cats. If the flow is completely shut down, waste products usually eliminated through urine can accumulate in the body. Kidney failure, coma and death can result.
Features of Scientific Professional Cat Litter:
Sickness Indicator
Ultra-Lightweight
Destroys Odor
Clumpable & Flushable
Eco-Friendly
Contains No Sodium Bentonite or Silica Dust
Pet Ecology's Sickness Indicating Cat Litter is the ONLY known non-prescription cat litter in the market that warns cat owners that their cat may be sick thereby permitting the earliest diagnosis and treatment.
Because of its composition, Scientific Professional Cat Litter weighs one-seventh of the weight of traditional cat litters (1.36kg works like 9.5kg of clumping litter).
Scientific Professional Cat Litter is environmentally friendly and does not contain any sodium bentonite. Traditional clay-based cat litter contains sodium bentonite as the clumping agent. Once sodium bentonite clumps, it gains the consistency of cement. This presents a number of problems. Once in the landfills, these sodium bentonite based products do not break down and are creating an environmental problem. Further, cats tend to get the litter on their fur when they use the litter box.
Scientific Professional Cat Litter also contains a powerful odor control product, which is not enzyme based, as are most other odor control products, so it is safe and can be ingested by humans or animals without harm (although this is not recommended).
Scientific Professional Cat Litter is clumpable, 100% flushable and ecologically safe for pets, people, and our planet.
