Diuretic properties

"Diuretic properties" in an ingredient for dog food means that this ingredient helps to promote urine production in dogs. Diuretics are substances that increase the excretion of water from the body, often by increasing kidney activity. This can be useful for certain health conditions in dogs, such as supporting kidney function or reducing fluid retention in the body.

It is important to note that although diuretic ingredients can be helpful in certain situations, they should be used with caution, especially if the dog has health problems or is taking medication. An excessive diuretic effect can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Therefore, it is advisable to work with a veterinarian or veterinary nutritionist when introducing such ingredients into your dog's diet.
