Complete dry food for urinary health and weight management: dissolves struvite stones.
Its special, moderate-calorie formula helps dissolve struvite crystals, reducing their recurrence and preventing the formation of calcium oxalate stones in dogs that are overweight or spayed or neutered.
Managing lower urinary tract conditions in dogs that are prone to weight gain or have been spayed or neutered requires a dual, targeted nutritional approach.
Pet owners report difficulty treating cystitis or struvite stones without risking weight gain in their dogs due to standard, higher-calorie veterinary diets. Royal Canin Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie ensures therapeutic effectiveness for the urinary tract while reducing caloric intake to protect the pet’s physical condition and joint health.
The 12 kg size is the ideal choice for long-term treatments prescribed by a veterinarian for medium and large breed dogs, ensuring uninterrupted nutritional therapy. The formula works by diluting urine and creating an environment that inhibits mineral crystallization, while the moderate fat content ensures a satisfying feeling of fullness and high palatability.
