Dry dietetic food for adult dogs with urinary tract problems: S/O Index formula for dissolving struvite stones and preventing the recurrence of crystals.
Lower urinary tract disorders are a common condition in dogs and can cause painful urination, blood in the urine, and the formation of bladder stones.
Royal Canin Urinary S/O provides targeted nutritional support thanks to RSS (Relative SuperSaturation) technology and the S/O Index concept, which create a urinary environment that is unfavorable to the crystallization of both struvite and calcium oxalate.
The formula promotes urinary dilution by increasing urine volume, reducing the concentration of mineral salts, and facilitating regular and frequent flushing of the bladder.
The controlled magnesium content and specific acidification of the urine allow for the effective dissolution of existing struvite stones.

Administration and Usage Notes: It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use. Administer Urinary S/O for 5 to 12 weeks to dissolve struvite stones and for up to 6 months to reduce the recurrence of struvite stones.
Always provide the animal with plenty of fresh, clean water to encourage hydration and urine output.
Benefits:
Dissolution of struvite stones: A specific clinical formulation that promotes the effective dissolution of struvite stones and crystals.
Urinary dilution: Increases urine flow and volume to reduce mineral concentration and ensure bladder flushing.
Low relative saturation (RSS): Helps reduce the concentration of ions involved in the formation of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
Moderate magnesium content: Reduced levels of magnesium, a natural component of struvite crystals.
Mucosal protection: Selected nutrients to support the bladder wall’s natural protective barrier.
