Dry dietary food for adult cats with urinary disorders: dissolves struvite stones and prevents recurrences of struvite and calcium oxalate stones.
Lower urinary tract diseases in cats (FLUTD) are very common and cause pain, difficulty urinating, and painful recurrences. A specific nutritional management plan is essential for dissolving crystals and protecting the bladder.
Royal Canin Urinary S/O works on three main fronts: urine dilution, pH control, and the RSS (Relative Supersaturation) effect. Increasing urine volume helps regularly flush the bladder, reducing the concentration of minerals that form crystals.
The formula features controlled levels of magnesium and minerals responsible for stone formation, maintaining a urinary environment that is unfavorable for crystallization.
The kibble is enriched with GAGs (glycosaminoglycans), which help strengthen the bladder wall’s natural protective barrier.

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 risk of recurrence.
Always provide the animal with plenty of fresh, clean water to promote urination.
Benefits:
Struvite Dissolution: Helps effectively dissolve all types of struvite stones.
Urinary dilution: Increased urine volume reduces mineral saturation and promotes frequent bladder emptying.
Low RSS value: Maintains a low ion concentration, promoting a subsaturated environment that counteracts the crystallization of struvite and calcium oxalate.
Bladder mucosa protection: Contains natural glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) to support the integrity of the bladder wall.
Controlled magnesium content: Reduced magnesium intake, a natural component of struvite crystals.
