DL Methionine 500mg Tablets

Higher-Strength Urinary Acidifier Tablets for Dogs and Cats

Product Description

DL Methionine 500mg Tablets are a higher-strength veterinary urinary acidifier supplement manufactured by Vet Brands International for dogs and cats. Each tablet delivers 500mg of DL-Methionine, an essential sulfur-containing amino acid that, when metabolized, releases sulfuric acid into the urine to lower urinary pH. This helps prevent and manage struvite bladder stones and crystals, supports normal urinary function, and reduces urine odor. The 1,000-tablet pack is suited for extended, vet-directed urinary health management programs.

Benefits

Struvite Stone Prevention: Aids in preventing and managing struvite bladder stones and crystals in dogs and cats.

Normal Urinary Function: Supports overall normal urinary tract function as a veterinary-recommended supplement.

Odor Reduction: Helps reduce urine odor as a secondary benefit of the urine acidification process.

Higher-Strength Formula: Each 500mg tablet delivers a more concentrated dose, allowing for fewer tablets per administration for larger pets.
