Highlights:
Complete dietetic feed for adult cats. Royal Canin Urinary SO is a veterinary-exclusive cat food for cats with urinary health concerns.
Product Detail:
When your cat has urinary issues, easing their discomfort requires special care. But with the help of your veterinarian and Royal Canin, there s not just hope? there can be a true difference.
This veterinary-exclusive dry cat food was developed to nutritionally support your adult cat s urinary tract and bladder health. It increases the amount of urine your cat produces to help dilute excess minerals that can cause crystals and stones. Relative Super Saturation (RSS) methodology is used to help lower ion concentration in urine, which contributes to stone formation.
This formula promotes a urinary environment unfavorable to the formation of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals. And this specialized nutrition, with a reduced level of magnesium, helps dissolve pure struvite stones and prevent struvite stones from forming. Lower urinary tract issues may be a recurring concern for some cats. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your cat on this urinary cat food for long-term urinary support. And ask them about the right Royal Canin wet cat food and treats to complement your cat s diet.

Features and Benefits:
Urine dilution:
Diluting urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvites and calcium oxalates. The larger urinary volume also helps ensure more frequent bladder emptying.
Idiopathic cystitis:
Thanks to the high moisture content of wet food, Urinary S/O Feline increases urine dilution. Nearly 64 % of cases of FLUTD are idiopathic cystitis and wet diet is recommended in cases of recurrent cystitis.
Struvite dissolution:
Urinary S/O Feline effectively dissolves struvite uroliths.
Low RSS:
Undersaturated urine creates a urinary environment unfavourable to the development and proliferation of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
