Lespedeza capitata contains flavonoids that produce renal vasodilation and stimulate the kidney parenchyma, increasing diuresis and reducing blood urea without disrupting the electrolyte balance.

Studies in rats, rabbits, and cats have shown that Lespedeza capitata has a diuretic effect as potent as theophylline and theobromine, but with a longer duration.

- In cats and dogs with liver and kidney failure, Lespedeza capitata was able to eliminate oliguria and albuminuria, and significantly reduce blood urea concentration.

Warnings:

VetNova is a pioneer in the development of Chews technology, aiming to facilitate the administration of supplements for dogs and cats.

Unlike tablets and capsules, etc., which are "forced" into the mouth to ensure the medication is taken, Chews should be freely administered in the food bowl and allowed to be eaten voluntarily by the pet.

Some shy cats and dogs may need a prolonged period of time to accept them.

To help people accept using the product initially, the following strategies can be used during the first week;
1) Reduce the dose and gradually increase it;
2) Divide the daily dose into two administrations, morning and evening;
3) Crush the Chew and mix it with malt (for cats), pâté, or other easy-to-eat pet food, etc.
