FAQs

What is Royal Canin Urinary S/O Small Dog food?

It is a dietetic dry food specifically formulated for small breed dogs to manage urinary health issues, such as struvite and calcium oxalate stones.

Can I give this food to my puppy?

No, this food is for adult dogs only. It is not suitable for growing, pregnant, or lactating dogs.

Do I need a prescription to buy this food?

Yes, Royal Canin Urinary S/O requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

How long should my dog stay on this food?

The duration of use will depend on your dog's condition and your vet's recommendation. It may be a short-term or long-term dietary need.

How does this food prevent urinary stones?

It contains a reduced level of magnesium, moderate protein levels, and promotes an undersaturated urinary environment to prevent stone formation.

What if my dog doesn't like the taste?

You can try mixing it with a small amount of your dog's usual food or slightly warming it to enhance palatability. Consult your vet for alternative options.

Can I give my dog treats while on this food?

It's best to avoid giving treats unless they are specifically recommended or approved by your veterinarian. Many treats are high in minerals and could counteract the effects of the diet.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the food.

Try mixing the new food with the old food, gradually increasing the proportion of Urinary S/O. You can also try warming the food slightly to enhance its aroma.

Dog experiences digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea).

Ensure that the food transition was done slowly. Consult your vet to rule out any underlying issues. Consider giving smaller, more frequent meals.

Dog's urinary issues persist or worsen.

Consult your veterinarian immediately. They may need to adjust the treatment plan or investigate further to rule out complications.
