Product Information

Full details

This guide is for cat owners whose veterinarians have recommended a specialized diet for their cat's urinary health. The key benefit is nutritional support for dissolving struvite stones and managing calcium oxalate stones, helping to ease discomfort and promote a healthy urinary tract. A key caveat is that this is a veterinary diet and must be used under professional guidance, and it is not suitable for cats with chronic kidney disease or certain other conditions. This dry cat food is designed to dilute urine, reduce the concentration of stone-forming ions, and lower magnesium levels for comprehensive urinary tract and bladder health management.

FAQs

How long should my cat stay on this diet?

The duration of feeding is determined by your veterinarian based on your cat's specific condition and response to the diet. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended.

Can I feed this food to a healthy cat?

No, this is a therapeutic veterinary diet. It is specifically formulated to manage certain urinary conditions and should only be fed under veterinary recommendation.

How does this food help dissolve struvite stones?

The formula helps to lower urine specific gravity (dilute the urine) and create an environment less favorable for struvite formation and dissolution. It also contains specific nutrients to help dissolve existing struvite stones.

What is RSS and why is it important?

RSS stands for Relative Super Saturation. Lowering the RSS of urine reduces the likelihood of crystal formation and stone development. This food is formulated with a tailored complex of nutrients to achieve a low RSS.

Can this food be used for both struvite and calcium oxalate stones?

Yes, this diet is formulated for the nutritional management of cats with lower urinary tract disease, including the dissolution and management of recurrence of struvite uroliths, and management of recurrence of calcium oxalate uroliths.

What are the signs that the diet is working?

Signs may include reduced urinary discomfort, decreased frequency of urinary events, and if stones were present, their dissolution as monitored by your veterinarian through imaging or urinalysis.

Is this food suitable for kittens?

No, ROYAL CANIN® Urinary S/O is not suitable for growth, gestation, or lactation. It is intended for adult cats with specific urinary health concerns.

Troubleshooting

Cat is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure a gradual transition from the previous food. If reluctance persists, consult your veterinarian. Offering a small amount of warm water to the dry kibble can sometimes enhance aroma and palatability, or discuss alternative palatable formats (wet loaf/gravy) with your vet.

Cat is not drinking enough water.

Encourage water intake by providing multiple fresh water sources, using a fountain, or exploring the wet food versions of Urinary S/O as recommended by your vet. Monitor urine output.

Digestive upset (vomiting/diarrhea).

Ensure the food is being introduced gradually. If symptoms persist, contact your veterinarian, as this could indicate intolerance or another underlying issue.

Feeding: Follow your veterinarian's prescribed daily feeding amount. Ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times. If mixed feeding with wet food is recommended, consult your veterinarian for appropriate rationing to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
