Royal Canin Veterinary Cat - Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie

A complete dietetic dry cat food with urine acidifying properties. With low magnesium levels and moderate calorie content. It can help dissolve struvite stones and reduce recurrence. For adult cats.

If your cat suffers from lower urinary tract disease you can help by feeding it a diet which provides optimal nutritional support for its urinary system. Urinary tract disease can lead to urinary stones (including struvite and calcium oxalate). Royal Canin Urinary S/O products were developed as an adjunctive treatment for cystitis and urinary stones.


Indications:

• Dissolution of struvite uroliths
• Prophylactic treatment/prevention of calcium oxalate stones
• Prophylactic treatment/ prevention of struvite stones

Contraindications:

• Chronic renal failure, metabolic acidosis
• Heart failure
• Hypertension
• Pregnancy, lactation, kittens
• Parallel use of urine acidifying medication

Key benefits:

• Struvite dissolution: Urinary S/O helps to dissolve struvite stones.
• Moderate calorie content: The reduced calorie content makes it easier to limit weight gain in cats with a tendency to obesity (neutered cats, house cats).
• Urine dilution: Diluting the urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvite and calcium oxalate.
• Protecting bladder mucosa: Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a natural part of the bladder mucosa and protects against bacteria and toxins.

Changing your pet's diet and length of treatment:

Your pet will need to stay on this diet for 5 to 12 weeks, or until the stones are dissolved. It is advisable to feed this diet for a further 6 months to prevent a recurrence. Once your pet is better (urine test) it can be fed with Royal Canin Veterinary – Obesity Management or Satiety Support, if it is overweight. Alternatively, if your cat has been neutered and is already maintaining its ideal weight, it can be fed with a product from the Royal Canin – Neutered range.
