This sand is used as a non-invasive preventative tool that allows monitoring of daily health changes, while providing a solid clump and superior odor control in a dust-free environment.
Is Intersand Max Care medical litter an effective tool for monitoring the health of cats?
Yes, it is an effective tool for early disease detection. The reason is that the product relies on Blücare granules that react chemically with urine, changing color to a distinct blue when traces of blood or glucose are detected, thus alerting the breeder to a potential health problem that requires attention.
Why is this product recommended?
This sand is selected based on the following functional properties:
- Early health monitoring: Blücare granules provide the ability to detect blood and glucose, which are among the most prominent indicators of urological diseases (such as cystitis and stones) and diabetes, thus enabling early therapeutic intervention.
- Long-lasting odor neutralization: The built-in technology is activated upon contact with urine, preventing the development and emission of unpleasant odors for up to 40 days.
- Agglomeration efficiency: It features rapid absorption of liquids to form solid, small-sized clumps, which facilitates their removal and reduces overall sand consumption.
- Respiratory protection and hygiene: The dust-free formula does not stick to the cat's paws, protecting the respiratory system and keeping the floors around the litter box clean.
When is it recommended – and when is it not recommended?
It is recommended for use in the following cases:
- Cats that have a medical history of urinary tract infections or stones.
- Older cats or those at risk of developing diabetes (such as obese cats).
- Breeders who have several cats require a practical tool to monitor excretion health and facilitate daily cleaning.
Its use is not recommended in the following cases:
- As an alternative to visiting the veterinary clinic if the cat is already showing obvious symptoms of illness (such as pain when urinating or extreme lethargy).
- Cats that take certain medications or follow a special diet may have altered urine chemistry and interfere with the accuracy of color indicators (a veterinarian should be consulted in this case).
Instructions for proper use
To ensure accurate readings and maximum effectiveness, please follow these instructions:
- Preparation: Pour a 10-12 cm layer of Intersend cat litter into a clean, completely dry litter box.
- Adding the indicator: Distribute the contents of the Blücare granules sachet evenly over the outer surface of the sand.
- Observation: After the cat urinates, wait 3 minutes. If the granules remain white or yellow, the result is negative. If they turn blue, the result is positive (presence of blood or glucose), and you should contact your veterinarian.
- Daily cleaning: Remove urinary clumps and solid waste daily using a scoop, and avoid disposing of granules or waste in the toilet.
- Renewal: It is recommended to completely change the cat litter and clean the cat litter box every 40 days to maintain a healthy environment and the effectiveness of the technology.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the color of the entire sand change, or just the added granules?
Only the surface-distributed Blücare granules change color upon direct contact with urine containing abnormal concentrations of blood or glucose.
Does the appearance of a blue color confirm that the cat is infected with the disease?
The color blue is an early warning and a positive result for the presence of indicators, but it is not a conclusive medical diagnosis, as medical examinations must be carried out to confirm the condition and determine the treatment.
Is litter safe for cats with chest allergies?
Yes, the sand is treated to be free of airborne dust, making it safe and not irritating the respiratory tracts of cats or breeders during use and cleaning.
Intersend Medical Biomarker Cat Litter is an advanced preventative option for cat owners seeking to incorporate regular health monitoring for urinary tract diseases and diabetes into their daily litter box cleaning routine.
